Working as a graphic designer in the US since the early 2000's, every employer I ever worked for eventually used Fiverr to pay someone overseas a fraction of what they paid me to do the same work. This doesn't seem meaningfully different.
Not saying this is okay, just that it's not even remotely (no pun intended) a new problem.
