Connects are no longer free: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Announcements/Upcoming-Changes-to-Connects/td-p/580451

It is amazing to me that this connect change was rolled out in May and this question is still being asked. Did not all freelancers get the email or did they just not look if it was not a job interview or offer they just deleted it without reading.

But they didn’t roll it out all at once though so some of these people are just figuring it out.
As for the email thing that does not amaze me. They got it and ignored it.

...or they didn't....
I didn't get an email ...they  obviously  didn't send it to everyone

I don't doubt that Upwork intended for everybody to be notified.

But it is impossible for a large organization to send email messages to a large number of people and guarantee that they all receive and read the message. There are no doubt large numbers of intended recipients whose email messages went to their spam box, or the email message never arrived because it was filtered by intermediate servers, or the message arrived at the same time they deleted an ad email and they accidentally deleted both email messages, or they thought the message was something else and they deleted without reading it, or they no longer monitor that email address.

If 98% of intended recipients actually DID receive the email message, and if 90% of people who DID receive the message actually read it... then that means there are still a lot of people who are surprised.

And do you see this when you login from a private browser window or is that just me?

[ronlorraine]

Mark I get that one also but only after I clear my cache and cookies and login again.

[florydev]

Yeah, that is my point people got it and dismissed it. Pretty standard human behavior.
I agree with Preston lots of people probably didn’t get the email but I’m way more sure that lots of them ignored it.

[ronlorraine]

I guess that I was one of the lucky ones that got two notices and then I got another when my account was transferred to the new connects system. Was kind of easy to spot since when I now look for projects they are all 6 connects instead of 2.

One email? It felt like a hundred, so hard to ignore. Can't help but feel that people are just hoping against hope that some kind-hearted moderator will send some free ones their way...
