I understand one person gets paid. This doesn't make the system any better. The problem is, so many people are still put in a situation where they end up with no payment. I'd still like to know where the remaining participants will gain exposure. |

* Top2 get paid directly
* Top5 get points to be ranked in a monthly leaderboard, they'll eventually get paid depending on their ranking in that leaderboard.
* Winning/ranking good will help you get a position in a review board to review other submissions and then get paid.
* You still can participate in bugraces, which generally doesn't take too much time (hours or even minutes) and get paid accordingly.
This is just a small portion of how you can make money. Granted, it is not easy, but if you're good, well, you are good.
Gain exposure? Working with big clients, AOL, ferguson, lendingTree, and a lot more - Plus, If you have a job interview, you still can get a recommendation from TopCoder with a list of your winnings/projects (it's visible in your profile anyway)
I'm speaking from experience here, It's so wrong on many levels to put all crowd sourcing websites in the same basket.
