Fiverr's new recruiting ad promises to literally work you to death

Take a look at the front page of their site.

Cheap work for people who want stuff cheap.

I remember being a broke college student and doing work for live PA people in exchange for food. It makes sense in college. Not so much once you’re past that phase of life. And some of these gigs? Things like “I’ll write you a jingle for $10.” Now the quality of a $10 jingle is going to be nowhere close to the quality of a $15,000 jingle. But it’s the fact that people will offer to do it for $10.

I mean, yeah, okay, Ms. Pretty Girl, good for you, getting $5 to hold a product. But you, Ms. Wordpress Expert, should not be building someone’s website for $40. You just shouldn’t.
