The Sheep Market
By David Ponce
Far be it from me to venture anything as unrequested as an “opinion” online… but let me say this: it’s a crazy world we live in. See, it’s the kind of world where you can go to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk service and hire an army of workers to handdraw you “10,000 sheep facing left”. You pay them $0.02 a piece (at 105 seconds average completion time per drawing, that works out to $0.69 an hour) for their talents… and then, well, then you create a funky website, call it The Sheep Market and make a killing selling them.
Yeah, I know, it sounds odd. And it is. But there you have it. There’s an online market for cheaply outsourced handdrawn sheep facing left.
What’s next?
