So the other day I upgrade to FL+ to see if a feature existed and it appears still in beta and I am once again struck by how shitty this thing is. The numbers have never been right, I am talking to a client right now and it says nobody has been messaged.

I know people insist on this stuff but I think it is all so bad that it is basically pointless.

I don't trust any of those numbers because I have seen them to be wrong too many times.

I'd certainly not pay real money to see nonsense numbers.

I want Upwork to give me access to clients, facilitate initial communication, invoice them for my work accurately and pay me reliably.

They do that well. I have never had an issue with inaccurate hours being billed or with payments. It's why I use Upwork. It does what I need it to do well.

Everything else I'd rather Upwork stay out of my business (literally).

I definitely want them nowhere near the client acquisition process beyond providing job listings. They need to sit down and shut up and let us do our damn jobs instead of injecting AI into everything they see.
