'Do' This!

Y’know what, Fiverr? Fuck you. Yeah, YOU!

I’m sure your campaign is relatively well-intentioned, and I’m fairly certain the folks pictured in same are all simply models, but something about the combination of their insufferably smug faces paired with your snappy ad-copy intended to guilt/goad/antogonize potential patrons out of their alleged inertia has been making me see red for weeks now. This one is especially bad.

I am not now -– nor have I ever been -- a consultant, but I know several people who have been and still are, and to the last, they are honest, intelligent, hardworking and resourcefully innovative individuals. Consultation was invariably not their first career choice, but they each found themselves at that point out of necessity and/or survival in a vocational climate blighted by ageism and the inelastic demands of the bottom line. To blithely suggest that it’s the path for the timid, talentless, uninspired or simply lazy is a naïve, myopic and misleading myth and an insulting disservice.

Your approach fucking sucks.
