Fiverr is effectively a spam factory. I would be curious to see the breakdown of its most popular offerings. How many of them are legitimately creative tasks, and how many are "I will post your link to fifty web 2.0 sites?" More importantly, how much revenue can Fiverr attribute to these "gigs" that are borderline legal? Their F-1 filing does not mention it as a risk factor. [0]

This website has its roots in the gray-hat side of the SEO and affiliate marketing industries. It's shocking to see it valued at $700M. Surely we are in a bubble?
