The Town Hall on the new connect changes

I'm listening to the town hall, as I'm guessing a lot of you are. 

 

The fact that we're not allowed a rebuttal to anything the speaker is saying makes the whole thing completely moot. 

 

The host responds with "Got it" every time she is done speaking, and she is never challenged on anything she says. He's reading off first level question and no followup questions are asked. 

 

This is not a town hall. This is just propaganda.

Haven't been keeping up with the topic much, has someone asked / answered why connects have an expiration date now? I can understand the free connects expiring, but why will the purchased connects expire?

 

ETA: Nvm, found the answer

 

Why will connects expire after a year? They were many constraints - some Upwork, some "external".

Expiration period is long, rollovers are high -- they want you to use the connects. Not to hoard connects.

Hi Ines, Thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delayed response. For accounting reasons, Connects need to have an expiration date. However, we did want to give freelancers as much time as possible to use them, so a Connect will remain valid for one year from purchase.
