Criticism
When it launched publicly in mid-2008, the company and its business model received some criticism because Crowdspring's marketplace works on a speculative model and challenges traditional ways of buying and selling graphic design, industrial design, and copywriting services.Шаблон:Citation needed This is the process of asking professionals to complete custom work for the chance of getting payment.[11] This means that most people involved in the process effectively work for free.[12] Crowdspring embraced and actively participates in the debate about its spec work business model.[13][14]
