Yes, there are still a lot of designers around, of course.
But I have seen several "I need XXX designed, designers spam me" just drop right down with just a few replies. Haven't you?

You are still wrong.
And this is coming from someone who was in the design game. The market is flooded right now with designers. It is a buyers market and if you haven't quite figured that out you're not looking clear enough.
4 years ago a gallery design would run you at a min $45. Some were charging up to $70.
2 years later $45 for a high quality gallery, $25 for bulk orders and $30 for a general template.
Now you'd be lucky to get $20 on bulk orders. *I am of course speaking as a designer who does not live in a 3rd world country*
Samewith paysite designs. I've seen good quality paysite designs *and by quality I mean pretty as I don't now how well they convert* for as little as $299.00
When people would ask about gallery designers there were usually the same couple of names that would pop up. Fletch, myself, machinegun kelly and then the thread would get spammed by outsourcing companies.
Every day it seems I see a new designer spamming the threads.
You may not notice it. But for someone who had to pay attention to it I noticed it...however I think that market will right itself soon enough.
