It's been a long time since I looked at Fiverr. The last time was several years ago. People were selling things - literally for $5! Which is fine. But the problem was, they were selling things that were worth hundreds of dollars for $5!
Creative people were selling their computer graphics and animations for - $5. Writers were selling 3,000 word articles for - $5. It was insane. Third world wages. (And I have to imagine, 3rd world quality of work as well - especially when it comes to fluent articulate writing in English). Not something I had any interest in at all. So I never went back.
But seeing them listed here on Gigworker, prompted me to go take a look and I was shocked at what I saw! Shocked in a good way. Look at this:

The first one - creating an explainer video for - $1,800! That's awesome. Because that's really about what it's worth. The talent and time that goes into it and the value it should be to the company buying it - that's a really decent price. In fact, nothing on this first row of highlighted fiverr's for under $100.
That's really encouraging to see. All the other services are like working in a 3rd-world slave-wage cesspool. If the workers from those services would migrate over to fiverr buyers would have to pay fair wages, because no more $2 an hour workerse would be available.
