I can’t stand the normalisation of the term “side hustle” when it’s just a capitalist weasel word for having a second job.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I disagree. A second job is a "second job".

A side hustle is something you own.

I make apps on the side. I have no boss, nobody to report to. Some of them, I've made some extra loot.

While that definition sounds ideal, I think most people with side hustles are still working for someone, just with flexible hours. DoorDash, Uber, transcription, etc.
