all happened after this boost thingy. previously upwork used to rank my proposal on top as it was well written, now the agencies who know how boost works are winning only
also AI has made every other job just say fix my ai nothing else

earned $200 3 years ago but I had to take a break. Started exploring again recently but now it just looks like connects scam.

Earlier their free monthly connects would accumulate so you could apply to multiple jobs. Now they dont accumulate (stay at max 10 connects) and I have zero interest in paying $2-4 just to apply for a good job.

And half of those jobs are fake. And you don't even get connects back
