It'll drive you insane, you'll question your insanity, realize the world's insanity, and question everyone's insanity, and so on. Even more so if you're the kind of crazy who enjoys this thing. I've been at it for a fairly long time, since summer 2015. What started as a side gig became my main thing in 2017. It's not bad if you work hard and want it, it has it's pros being a courier for one of the food platforms, like working whenever and however you want.
Just be safe out there, I've crashed more times than I'd like to admit, shit hurts. I just had a bad wreck last week from riding stupid, it happens. I've been t-boned before, shit really hurts, there's a reason turnover in this gig is fast. Most won't work more than a season, maybe even a few months at most.
