当前，我国日结零工市场仍普遍存在聚集性“等活”现象，在蓬勃的零工平台化进程中，这一现象颇为罕见。基于对此问题的调查，本文尝试超越单一的媒介采纳逻辑，提供另一种分析与理解数字技术不使用行为的思路，即“数字拒斥”(digital rejection)，用以解释个体如何通过能动实践与关系联结确立数字使用边界，并以此实现对理想生活状态的掌握。在日结劳动的语境下，线下的日结零工市场不仅承载着工人“弱数字使用”的惯习，同时也维系着他们的社会关系与日常生活。因此，坚守市场“等活”并选择性地拒斥日结招聘平台成为其决定自我生活方式的一种策略。“数字拒斥”的概念主张关注技术使用者的利益表达，强调将使用者的能动性与其社会生活相勾连，有助于解释日常化的数字技术不使用行为。

This study investigates the persistence of offline gatherings in China’s day labor markets, where workers wait for job opportunities despite the rapid platformization of the gig economy. This phenomenon is particularly unusual in the context of the booming digital economy. Moving beyond a simplistic logic of media adoption, the study presents the concept of “digital rejection” as an analytical lens to better understand practices of digital non-use. Digital rejection highlights how individuals establish boundaries for digital engagement through active practices and relational connections, thereby achieving a sense of control over their preferred lifestyle. Within the context of day labor, traditional day-labor markets not only embody workers’ habits of limited digital use, but also sustain their social relationships and daily lives. As a result, the decision to wait for work offline and selectively reject recruitment platforms becomes a strategic choice for shaping their own way of life. By centering on the articulation of users’ interests and connecting their agency to their social lives, the concept of digital rejection offers a valuable framework for explaining daily practices of non-use in the digital age.
