![No Tax on Tips? Did Gig Drivers Get Left Behind [13]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kWleJ-KVYTU/mqdefault.jpg "No Tax on Tips? Did Gig Drivers Get Left Behind [13]
Welcome to 13 — 13 minutes of gig news in 13 minutes or less.
April 19th, 2026
The “no tax on tips” headline sounded great… but did it actually change anything for app drivers?
💡 Here’s what we cover:
• Why most gig workers didn’t benefit from “no tax on tips”
• The key difference between W-2 tipped workers vs. independent contractors
• A full 2025 earnings breakdown ($1,000/week example)
• Mileage deductions explained (and why they matter more than tips)
• The TRUE tax bill most drivers face (it’s not small)
• Weekly take-home after taxes—what you’re actually keeping
📊 Example inside:
$52,000/year income → ~$8,658 in taxes
That’s about $167/week gone BEFORE gas & maintenance
👇 IMPORTANT 👇
PLEASE leave your experience filing your 2025 taxes compared to last year:
Was it better, worse, or basically the same?
💬 I read and reply to ALL comments—questions, concerns, everything.
🚨 One last thought…
What would an extra ~$9,000 have done for you last year?

![Instacart (& Doordash) Illegal Bots: Personal Data, Cost, Risks [13]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nGkSBNXxNyc/mqdefault.jpg "Instacart (& Doordash) Illegal Bots: Personal Data, Cost, Risks [13]

What people mean by “grabber bots” (high level):
* Purpose described by sellers: automatically detect and claim highly desirable Instacart items/orders (or quickly accept “batch” jobs as a shopper) before human users can.
Common components (non-technical description):
* A controller that repeatedly checks the target service for new opportunities.
* Account/session management (many services push multi-account use).
* Network routing/proxy service to appear to come from many IPs.
* CAPTCHAs and anti-bot countermeasure services (third-party solvers).
* A user interface or scripting layer that triggers the claim/checkout action.
Typical costs (very approximate ranges):
Costs vary a lot by seller quality, features, and how illicit the tool is. The following are rough, non-specific ranges you’ll see described in market listings:
* Cheap one-off scripts / low end: $10–$100 (often unreliable, may be scams or malware).
* Subscription bots / more polished tools: $200–$300 per month.
* MOST of subscription bots have a pre-set number of orders per key, new keys range $50-$200+
* Advanced / custom solutions or private proxies + account packs: $500–$1,300+ (sometimes sold in closed channels).
* Ongoing run costs (separate from purchase):
* Proxy services: typically $50–$200+/month depending on scale/type.
* VPS / server hosting: $10–$1000+/month.
* CAPTCHA solving services or similar: pay-per-use; totals vary with volume.
* If sellers offer “account packs” or other assets, those raise costs and legal risk dramatically.
Risks — why you should avoid using them:
* Violates Instacart Terms of Service. Using automated tools to claim orders or manipulate the platform is typically forbidden.
* Legal exposure. Depending on jurisdiction and how the bot is used, you could face civil claims (fraud, breach of contract) or even criminal charges in serious cases (fraud, unauthorized access).
* Financial risk & scams. “bot” sellers are scams — you pay and get malware, no-working code, or stolen account lists.
* Security risks. Third-party binaries or scripts can contain malware (keyloggers, backdoors), ALSO sellers ask for sensitive credentials.
* Chargebacks & merchant disputes. If bots are used to make purchases fraudulently, sellers and payment processors can reverse payments and involve law enforcement.
