All their "new features" are practically useless. Speaking as a client with many years of using UpWork.
Their fees were quite substantial before, but now it's more ridiculous. Probably gonna use it only for lead acquisition and move away instantly.
It's a shame, I had just recently decided to start doing some work there but I guess I have to look for alternatives.
If you are selling your skills it's still fine - just make sure you have decent contractors and do not use platform for payment.
Oh cool, yeah, I will be selling QA services of some sort.
Everyone does that, that’s why the fees are high.
I doubt this is the reason. There is no value in the system, that's why people are moving out. As many IT projects they are trying to solve problems that do not exist.
