The intersection to the gig economy is what? "The effect of today’s decision will be to end misclassification class actions, for Gig Economy workers and for everyone else." If you are in the "gig economy" or working a side hustle, there should be no ambiguity about your employment classification. If you willingly take a "gig" and then try to claim that you were actually an employee, something's very wrong in your service agreement.
