Fiverr rant
It's annoying that people on Fiverr sell "services"
Like removing backgrounds from photos,
But they just download an app to do it for them in bulk.
Why does this annoy me?
1. Because anyone can just download that app to remove backgrounds from images and they don't need to pay some schmuck for it
2. Those apps only do a average job and when you're looking to pay someone to do an actual decent job of something, they don't
2.a. when you're looking to outsource, it's harder to find someone who will actually do a good job
3. People who genuinely do a good job aren't recognised or trusted because all the get rich quick schemers are doing a half @ssed job
The "removing backgrounds from photos" is just one of many examples... But yeah,
It's like 80 % of gig workers there are scammers just rushing it or copy m pasting for a quick buck and they actually have no idea about the profession they claim to be in
