@sunainak @championswimmer @theliverdoc Use Occam's Razor: if this were fake, a horde of current Zomato current employees have spoken out.

Looks like you have egg on your face from that spirited defence of the man.

Are you now willing to change your mind about him and admit you were wrong?

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@sunainak @championswimmer @theliverdoc Oh, interesting given that he has time to put out a million long posts on Twitter, including snarky ones about doctors, and has been replying to every practically every reply and QT of his tweets.

Are you also current/ex-Zomato employee?

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@championswimmer @theliverdoc Let's assume you're right. If that's the case, it would be the easiest denial for Goyal and major embarrassment for LiverDoc. He would have serious egg on his face.

But he hasn't denied it yet.

@deepigoyal @grok Identify all the logical fallacies in this post.

@edzitron Hi. Any thoughts on this piece about you? https://t.co/ZXwkKke92c

How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been?

@aadilrverma Plus Hemant bro posted a justification piece full of holes, vanity metrics, and an actual use of more LoC as justification of better quality. 😂

I don't have a premium account to type a long rebuttal but even LLMs can do that.

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@tarboozpujari @aakashgupta You should congratulate him.

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@_pallavighosh Pallavi, you are an inspiration to Indians in how much you have achieved professionally. You are truly one of the greatest PR professionals in the country.

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@thewire_in What is with the half Hindi, half English subtitles, bro? I can't read Hindi, and neither can more than 70% of India. If you can put "Social Media" in English, just make the rest of it English, no?

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@PrairieBuilders @Loneshark07 @_ndegwa__ The fact that you're asking this is a huge red flag and is basically telling people that you should not be hired.

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@BrianSuttererMD Wow, your tweet has really brought out the entire quackery supporting brigade in the replies and QTs.

@SoveyX @grok what are the logical flaws in what this man said?

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@scaling01 He gets glazed by young Indian startup bros because he's rich so he must be good at everything. Much like Elon Musk.

Your replies are evidence of this.

But he's a terrible podcaster who asks the most banal questions with no depth.

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@Swiggy You are a Bangalore company. Why are you always tweeting in Hindi?

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@sreejithunni @ajayrotti They've posted his response in full as an addendum. Guess you have to admit they're real journalists after all.

[Nitin D @CuriousGoofball]

@theliverdoc Sir, he's not done yet!

Last one on this topic, and I have been holding this in myself for a while.

For centuries, class divides kept the labor of the poor invisible to the rich. Factory workers toiled behind walls, farmers in distant fields, domestic help in backrooms. The wealthy consumed the fruits of that labor without ever seeing the faces or the fatigue behind it. No direct encounter, no personal guilt.

The gig economy shattered that invisibility, at unprecedented scale.

Suddenly, the poor aren't hidden away. They're at your doorstep: the delivery partner handing over your ₹1000+ biryani, late-night groceries, or quick-commerce essentials. You see them in the rain, heat, traffic, often on borrowed bikes, working 8–10 hours for earnings that give them sustenance. You see their exhaustion, their polite smile masking frustration with life in general.

This is the first time in history at this scale that the working class and consuming class interact face-to-face, transaction after transaction. And that discomfort with our own selves is why we are uncomfortable about the gig economy. We want these people to look our part, so that the guilt we feel while taking orders from them feels less.

We aren't just debating economics. We are confronting guilt. That ₹800 order might equal their entire day's earnings after fuel, bike rent, and app cuts. We tip awkwardly, or avoid eye contact, because the inequality is no longer abstract. It's personal.

Pre-gig era, the rich could enjoy luxury without moral discomfort. Labor was out of sight. Now, every doorbell ring is a reminder of systemic inequality. That's why debates explode. It's not just policy. It's emotional reckoning. Some defend the system (“they choose it”), others demand change (“this isn't progress, its exploitation”).

And here’s the uncomfortable twist: the unsaid ask of clumsy ‘solutions’ isn’t dignity. It is about returning to invisibility.

Ban gig work and you don’t solve inequality. You remove livelihoods. These jobs don’t magically reappear as formal, protected employment the next day. They disappear, or they get pushed back into the informal economy where there are even fewer protections and even less accountability. Over-regulate it until the model breaks, and you achieve the same outcome through paperwork instead of slogans: the work evaporates, prices rise, demand collapses, and the people we claim to protect are the first to lose income.

And then what happens?

The rich get their old comfort back. Convenience returns without faces. Guilt dissolves. We go back to clean abstractions and moral posturing from a distance. The poor don’t become safer, they become invisible again: back in cash economies, back in backrooms, back in shadows where regulation rarely reaches and dignity isn’t even debated.

The gig economy just exposed the reality of inequality to the people who previously had the luxury of not seeing it. The doorbell is not the problem. The question is what we do after opening the door.

Visibility is the price of progress. We can either use this discomfort to build something better (which we keep doing continuously as delivery partners are our backbone), or we can ban and over-regulate our way back into ignorance. One of those choices improves lives. The other simply helps the consuming class feel virtuous in the dark.

@theliverdoc Sir, any comments on this new device by Zomato person?

@ravihanda LOL, obvious paid post. You clearly have no problems accepting money for saying anything despite your "FIRE" status. And no ethics because you didn't disclose an ad. Truly the worst combination.

@ZacksJerryRig @PeteHegseth In a just world, Major Jack Daniels would be prosecuted for war crimes. But we live in the darkest timeline, it seems.
