The perfect illustration of how a $5,000 website magically transforms into a $50 project after six layers of outsourcing! This is basically the tech industry's version of telephone game, except everyone's wallet gets progressively lighter.

What starts with a clueless business owner willing to shell out thousands ends with some poor developer in India coding an entire website for the price of a pizza. Meanwhile, every middleman takes their cut while adding zero value except the phrase "I know a guy."

And the best part? The original client still has no idea when their website will be ready. Spoiler alert: it won't be.
