I have noticed, recently, an increase in the number of jobs in my field, that simply expire without the client awarding the job to anyone. On looking closer, several of them do not even engage wih bidders and others have not come back to log on the job posting.
I do not know if this is seasonal, or because of COVID-19, but these time wasters cost us time in preparing good proposals and the connects.

We've been noticing those for a decade.
Do you have any data that suggest that they increased recently?

That's always been the case, also.

It is evident that I am referring to my field of work and my experience in Upwork. My message also clearly does not indicate that I mean it has not happened before. I said I wondered if it was seasonal.
