Bullshit. The article offers a couple of anecdotes to support the argument. There are thousands of talented designers looking for work. The problem is a lot of startups are unwilling to invest in good creative. Good designers cost money. I'm a designer and get peppered with requests for work. However I get offered peanuts. One startup looking to compete with Flow was only willing to pay $1000 for a website design, another wanted a logo done for $60. If you're a startup and you believe in your product, back yourself and back good creative.

- ryen 15y agoI think a big part of the problem is sites like 99designs and crowdspring that de-value the creative and design process to pennies on the dollar. These sites turn great artists into sweatshop workers.
