Lots of people are sceptical of the reddit post. Yes sure the post can be fake but if you consider any gig economy business what incentives would they have for not doing this?

Exactly. Not screwing everyone over is seeing as leaving money on the table.

The incentives are that a lot of the specific claims would be bad for long term retention and would be embarrassing if made public. That doesn't imply it's fake but it's not obvious any company would be incentivized to behave this way

Long term?

If there was some future backlash and the company would suffer, that is someone else's future problem. The execs today don't care about it as long as they reap their financial benefit today.
