Upwork is a tool. It can be an extremely powerful too. Like any powerful tool, it can be used effectively or ineffectivly.

Used ineffectively, without adequate understanding, it can yield disastrous results. This is unfortunate. Nobody wants that. But it is impossible to guarantee that users know everything they need to know if they jump in and use it without reading the directions.

There is nothing wrong with using Upwork before reading the directions or fully learning how it works, as long as one is willing to accept the consequences and willing to pay a price to "learn by doing."
