Anyone else feel like Upwork's algo is totally cooked lately?

[Ganado2]

My profile views have absolutely flatlined despite dropping connects on everything, and it feels like the search results are totally broken. Did they push a silent update or am I just getting shadowbanned for no reason? Curious if anyone else is seeing this weird drop in activity.

I've been noticing that too, guys. It feels like no matter how many jobs I apply for that fit my skills, I'm constantly getting rejected by clients who are willing to pay peanuts. Been thinking about just deleting my account altogether if things keep going downhill like this.

same here, been noticing some weird client interactions on the platform too, like they're favoring clients who are bidding on multiple similar projects at once, making it tough for newbies like me to get hired. anyone else getting flagged for "unresponsive" or "inconsistent work quality" for no reason?

It's definitely cooked, my impressions tanked overnight for no reason. Feels like they're intentionally throttling accounts just to force us to buy connects.

100%, it feels completely dead. I’m burning connects with zero views, and it honestly seems rigged unless you pay for boosts.

It feels totally cooked, honestly. I’m burning through connects for zero return, and the matching system seems completely random now.

Yo, 100%. My impressions dropped off a cliff and I’m burning connects for nothing. Feels like they nerfed visibility just to force people into buying boosts.

Thoughts on new trends?

 

[alx2108]

Yeah, it’s absolute trash right now. I’ve got a top-rated profile but my connects are just vanishing into the void. Feels like the system is rigged against freelancers unless you pay extra.

same here been noticing my earnings take a hit the past few months, used to get 5-6 bids per day all going to clients I had a good rep with, now it's more like 1-2 and they're mostly going to newbies with lower rates
