Why should designers, any more than content producers, software authors, car makers or clothing manufacturers, be exempt from the effects of globalisation? Even a good answer to that question isn't going to stop it happening.
The other thing I don't follow, is that if these guys do churn out rubbish which only no-hopers will buy, how are they f*cking anyone except those no-hopers? Surely they are only a threat to higher-priced designers if they are actually talented enough to tempt away their regular customers.
