"I can do this sir."

Anything I can do for you man...I can make it happen!
Why would anyone ask a good question on this because if you did you would be met with a chorus of...
I was wondering the exact same thing.

It's on G***. They've been making some awful changes to their UI lately, whole website is sluggish and broken. Like Upwork.
And they started ID verification, but they supposedly ask for your CC details as well LOL.

I heard about that. I didn't get the email and I have a dead account there.
They need to do something because they are losing the battle. They need to dump some money into getting clients, because that place is tumbleweeds.

I am glad that you clarified that this was on that other site, not on Upwork. Because what you were showing us certainly did not look like the Upwork interface.
However: Keep in mind (and this may be what you are referring to), Upwork currently IS experimenting with a system through which CLIENTS can talk to freelancers before actually posting a job.

@Nichola,
The biggest on-line marketplace in the world is Alibaba. They charge for verification, up to $40K if I recall correctly. The thing is that you can join for free as a vendor, or at least you could about ten years ago when I posted a profile as part of research for another client.
ProSavvy was quite successful and made a profit as a freelance work broker board. Membership was perhaps $1.5K/year or so. I used an acquaintance's membership and gave him 10% of my net. I think I earned maybe $15-20K on them in a year.

An interface more awful than it was? I thought that was impossible. It was so awful that I lost the will to live after seeing that.

Well boy do I feel dumb now, I just checked their site and it's actually quite fast and responsive compared to the way it was a few days ago. Still, point stands. They need some color in their life.
I'd talk more about it but I feel like I'll get community-guidelined again.

You won't miss anything. I tried there and I got annoyed with so many obviously stolen work (graphics). I don't know what their mods are doing.
