Agreed - this new pricing structure hits hard for freelancers that do smaller jobs for many different clients, whereas for freelancers that bill larger amounts and have a longer client relationships, this will save them money (5% vs. 10% fee). I guess the small-jobs-for-new-clients-each-time take up a disproportionately large amount of support work for Upwork.
