If we really wanted to do something, we should for some sort of campaign, to inform why hiring a professional designer is better than crowdsourcing a project.
I mean, that's what we do best right? we develop brands, we inform, we attract and we present it in a way that is visually attractive.
I know there are sites like

Let's say more and more designers donate their time to do this, why listen to a cheat wearing an expensive suit with dreams of modern day slavery when you have design professionals letting you know their side of the story?
That's the problem, it's a direct business for them so they make a profit with this model which will continue to grow and wont stop, mainly because the counter argument has no voice at the moment, other than a few designers complaining about it on forums like these, only visited by designers.
They are targeting the message to the consumer.
