Can you boycott boosting proposals/connects

100+ connects just to boost posts.

This only makes more money for Upwork. First, they reversed the 5% fee into 10% for long term clients. Then you need more connects to apply to jobs. Then profile boosts, available badge, proposals boosts (absolute waste of money). I never boosted proposals and will never do. But if you keep doing it. Upwork makes money, we don’t.
It’s fkn hard to get consistent work like before.

100k+ profile, Top Rated Plus

Fuck Boosting Profiles.
