These people charge very little, produce terrible work and it hurts us all in the long run.
Short term we might get a few more clients because they need the work re-done, but long term our rates go down, the expectation of the delivered product goes up (kinda like if the market dictated a BMW had to be sold for $5) and well, we're fucked.
Like I said, this isn't directed at you. I just hate to see people sell themselves short

I've felt exactly the same way for a long time. I even have a couple of ideas to counteract the problem, but I need to find some spare time to get it in motion. I only do this when I have an emergency bill that needs to be paid right away.
