Passive income from consumption sounds pretty good to me as a consumer. While I am lucky to earn what I have, I also think that is pretty incredible to think that there are many people earning from it too - hopefully while they enjoy it.
I don't think much will change from the process of other platforms in the way of earning, but what will change is the ownership of the platform itrself, and the distribution of total earnings. It is revolutionary and also very traditional, much like a co-op.
