The problem is that there were other almost-providers who worked for free, didn't get paid, and aren't happy.

- cek 15y agoBut those 'almost-providers' knew they might not get the deal. They choose to participate knowing there was a risk. They didn't "work for free", they made a decision that the risk/reward was worth it. Oh, and if you down-vote someone on HN for asking a question the least you can do is fess up and explain why.
- kranner 15y agoOK, I "confess" that I downvoted your post because I considered the question disingenuous. The risk/reward may not always be clear to all participants, and in a fairer world such choices might not have existed in the first place. My vote is really against encouraging people to view design contests as fair enough, not you personally.
- cek 15y agoKudos for 'fessing up.
