Upwork fucking suspended my fucking account because I fucking didn't get enough fucking attention from their fucking spam users.

..... What's UpWork?

It's an online job portal for devs, designers and etc.

@orkhanfarmanli Sadly I think my pun was lost...

Is upwork more substantive than peopleperhour?

The problem with Upwork is, there are too many jobs that get abandoned by the client. They just post the job and go away. That's why my account got suspended. I haven't used pph but considering it after this awful situation.

@orkhanfarmanli see, I use pph but there's not a lot of high earners going unless the client has a specific language or framework in mind, which is kind of limiting. The other aspect is competing with economies that allow developers to charge less, but I imagine that's common to most freelance platforms.

Actually in my country USD is so high that earning about 400-500 is enough for me. How is your stats in pph? I really need a good freelance website to earn my life.

@orkhanfarmanli not great at present. In my country I realistically need to be earning the equivalent of $3,500 a month. I'm making something like $700 rn

@monr0e If you gain that amount with your stack, I think it will be hard for a beginner like me to live in that echosystem.

@orkhanfarmanli eh? I'm not that advanced!
