I've been boycotting Fiverr, so I'm glad I'm not caught up in this. And judging by their response to this issue, I'm glad I've been boycotting it.

I've never tried their platform, but I once made an account on Upwork and it is absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure they are very similar.

People are asking for AWS help and giving root passwords to random contractors. A lot of people asking for CPA letters for loans and help with tax problems but their budget is under $100. And outright fraud posts are often seen asking for people to open bank accounts or otherwise bypass KYC.

Upwork now has an AI feature to help write job posts, so all the time you can see things like "If you want to attract freelancers like X, I can change it." So now the job posts are all written like corporate ones talking about "highly experienced in X" but pay almost nothing. Half the time the clients don't even know the words in their own post. And it charges every time someone applies to a job and then more to boost to top of list because every job gets 30+ applications supposedly.
