Instacart shoppers are considering leaving the platform after it cut base pay for filling orders.
Last week, Instacart started paying its gig workers as little as $4 in base pay per order, Insider reported on Monday.
Base pay is an amount that Instacart shoppers and drivers are guaranteed to make if they accept an order, though they can earn more from customer tips.
Daniel Danker, Instacart's chief product officer, told Insider that the company pays "guaranteed batch earnings that are 2x higher than other app-based companies."
On a Reddit page for Instacart shoppers, some workers say a traditional job is starting to look more appealing.
