These kind of sites not only water down design quality everywhere, but makes it that much easier for clients to treat creatives like cattle. Thanks to technological advances, anyone with a Macintosh and Adobe software can call themselves a designer because of how easy it is to make mediocre pieces that can pass as usable for most clients who don't recognize quality. Generic website templates and cheap stock photo sites like iStockphoto.com have also lowered design standard. I agree with many of the above sentiments.

On the other hand, new talents might come up with creative crowdsourcing projects that otherwise would never make it to the surface. From my point of view, crowdsourcing is a chance, not a risk.
