There are still gem clients on upwork.

I'm new to upwork and when I joined this sub I wasn't ready for the dark side of upwork (Scammers, Toxic Clients, Upwork Connects system). So much that I started having second thought to stick with the job, but I took the action anyway, it was still far better for me because I live in 3rd world country and working at job is like 100% getting exploited. They will tell you that "we are a family and we are the best in our country you are lucky we hired you." - to make us feel we did the right thing and then use us for their advantage. This was my 2nd job and it's still paying me 3x what my job used to pay plus respecting my work.
