  The only reason it could be cost effective, is the fact that the vast majority of people working towards the project effectively work for nothing.

  It's exploitation. In the same way that a lottery exploits people who play. Only in this case, people are betting time and effort, rather than a small amount of money for the price of a ticket.

  • It's not exploiting, it's voluntary. Participants calculate odds and possible winnings and either take part or go for a beer.raf
  • And it's not exactly a lottery, best one wins, not a random one. Is sport a lottery?raf
  • it's definitely exploitation if a real designer takes part without being paid.NONEIS
