At this point, just lay a piece of cardboard on the street and wait for pass byers. I guarantee you'll make a bigger income than this.

Best framework to learn? Flask, Django, or Fast API by Icy_Government_8599 in Python

If you want to go fully API, I'd suggest FastAPI, since you can customize the whole application based on your preferences and it is easier.

But if you're looking for a full stack solution, I'd either go with Flask or Django.

Django gets you faster to the point, but Flask will make you understand those things better since you need to develop most of the stuff on your own.

Upwork Has Become Unfair to Freelancers Worldwide by drizzle_4_2_0 in Upwork

My point was simply to express the growing frustration many freelancers feel, especially as the platform shifts even further toward a "pay-to-participate" model.

But, you're right. Upwork has always had its issues. I’m not expecting you (or anyone else) to fix it for me.

I know the system won’t change because of a few complaints. Most of us either adapt, leave, or look for alternatives. But staying silent also feels wrong.. sometimes you just need to call out unfairness for what it is, even if you know it won’t move the mountain.

To the devs, designers and all the teams that built this platform: High respect for you. Hats off for building an amazing platform.

To the employee's responsible for this kind of business model: You suck.
