Successfully wasted 200 connections

I invested time and effort into 200 connections, applying to 17 job posts, only to find that most clients didn’t hire anyone. Meanwhile, Upwork continues to profit from freelancers like me. It’s time for Upwork to prioritize addressing these types of clients.
Thank you Upwork

I just bought 800 connects. The connect god giveth and the connect god taketh away. This must be what creepto bros feel when their internet money disappears.

I'm seriously thinking about taking a break from sending proposals, I'm believing more and more that the jobs are not real... It's not possible that we cannot get any job, why? because of our previous statistics... this system doesn't make any sense to me.

I used to be able to identify a scam post by the way the job details were written, but man o' man all of them say the same thing now. lol Gotta love the push for all these ai all the time. It's doin great for Upwork.

Yep. Written by hands post is very rare now. Everything look 1:1. We are looking for a skilled and reliable (talanted..)

creative and egaging are the two I see ALL THE TIME... LOL. Or they want "100% original content" only the phrase is just tacked into a post nearly identical to the one above it!

Yeah, asking for 100% original content in jobpost 100% generated by bot - it is great idea. 😸

These don't look like scam posts. The clients have okay history. Still they post and vanish.
