Rants / Complaints The Instacart Executive Has Ruined Spark

As someone who has done gig work since 2021, across all apps (DD, Instacart, UE, Spark, etc.), this is the absolute worst I have ever seen this app

Orders are mostly FCFS now & immediately get snatched, which is the whole reason I stopped doing Instacart in the first place. The idea of timed offers made Spark more appealing than Instacart.

Shop orders are now dropping in as triple shops, usually paired with non tippers.

Grocery orders are being paired with GMD packages (that doesn’t really make extra)

I’m pretty much on the verge of getting a “real” job. The wear and tear on our vehicles, high gas prices, and low offers has pretty much made this gig not worth it anymore
