It's just a way to exploit the workforce, only that one thing has changed. That is technology that in some cases makes workforce not really important so it could be somewhat disputable

Ok, I see that as a necessary and important part of the economy.
Example:
You have a company and have more work to do than you can do by yourself, so you want to offer a productive job for someone with the needed skills.
Let say there's a $100 job. You as an emloyer need to calculate the correct pay for the employee so that your company can get the job well done + get some profits. You would not pay that $100 directly to the employee, right?
You as a ceo of your company take a multiple risks running the company and it's not charity so your goal is to make some profit and with that profit you plan to expand and employ even more people, which is very good for the economy, right?
Right, this is a very good approach, but...
The fact remains that even if you don't want to steal the worker, you still steal the worker because you keep the surplus for yourself. It is the system that works this way. Moreover there is a risk on the side of the worker too, a risk that quite well be bigger than any businesses owner or ceo will take, especially if the worker does a dangerous job.
