There is a tremendous increase in the same job posts being posted over and over again, with a slightly adjusted title every once in a while. It has gotten so bad that the entire first page of a search is taken over by them.
Either:
- A. Upwork is unresponsive to this and does not seem to care, which makes me really wonder about whether they about freelancers.
- B. Are complict in 'encouraging' this in order to get more people to part with their connects. Regardless, this is the worst it has been for me in over a decade on the platform (when it was Elance).
Upwork moderators, do something about this type of behavior and make sure that you do not lose good people over this.
Hi Joost,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. I assure you that I shared your report with our team so that they can look into this further and take appropriate actions.
Hi Nikola,
I appreciate the comment, so far it does not appear to do much of anything.
Can you keep us updated here what if anything might happen?
I'd also argue the team is either not very succesfull or has no idea what it is doing right now.
Alternatively, Upwork finds this acceptable - but then at least tell us.
Flagging them as SPAM also does not seem to help the team find these.
Apparently this is not being addressed
