Unfair Bidding Crew

[426ba430]

As active freelancers and clients, we all contribute to the vibrant ecosystem that is Upwork. Recently, I’ve noticed a trend that warrants our attention: 

instantaneous bidding on newly posted jobs.

While efficiency is commendable, the lightning-fast bids—often within the first minute of job listings—are raising eyebrows. It’s essential to foster a level playing field for all freelancers, regardless of their time zone or availability.

Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences. Let’s keep the conversation respectful and constructive! :glowing_star:🤝

I definitely agree I noticed that recently I would usually blame it on people who copy past their message to the client and bid higher and higher although I don't know if that's 100% true or not !

It's been that way for a long time due to APIs.
