    I'm not sure he's saying we should give in to the pressure, ukit. I think he's just saying the crowdsourcing method is not going anywhere, and that designers should clearly position themselves as people who solve problems, rather than people who just crank out wallpaper a la crowdspring.

    It's all kinda silly imo, because most good designers have been doing this for a long time. I do think it's good though to be forced into thinking about and then articulating what separates a crowdsource designer vs. a non-crowdsource designer. I don't see any signs that the vast majority of smart clients are buying the design as commodity approach.
