When it comes to online dating, Giovanni Wolfram, a 25-year-old living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, isn’t all too worried about whether his fellow dating app users will find him attractive. Rather, his biggest fear is that he might come off as “cringey.”“You can get away with being ugly,” Wolfram says. “But being cringey is just like—that's a character that's imprinted on you.” Since he first joined Hinge at 18, he has worked hard to scrub his profile of sincerity.

2 weeks ago | wired.jp | Elana Klein

この10年、AirbnbやTuroといったプラットフォームが普及したおかげで、自宅の空き部屋や自家用車を貸し出して副収入を得ることが容易になった。しかし、Zaraのジーンズや使われずにほこりをかぶっている芝刈り機はどうだろうか？どうやら、そういったものにも需要はあるようだ。衣類や日用品の個人間レンタルアプリ近年、比較的低価格なアイテムの個人間での貸し借りを普及させようとするオンラインサービスが増えている。これにより若者たちは、手もちのTシャツやBluetoothスピーカー、チェーンソーといった身近な品をネット上の見知らぬ誰かに一時的に貸し出し、収入を得られることに気づき始めている。つまり、所有もしていない3階建ての物件の4つ目の寝室を貸し出さずとも、稼げるのだ。こうしたアプリはZ世代やミレニアル世代を主なターゲットにしており、過剰な消費を抑えたい人やオンデマンド配送に慣れた人、あるいは単に新たな収入源を求めている人たちに訴求している。なかには年間36,000ドル（約510万円）を稼ぐヘビーユーザーさえいる。...
