I've read multiple stories last year from devs trying to establish themselves on Upwork (Some I heard firsthand) and getting 0 leads even if they applied for jobs that were like 20% of their usual rate.
Doesn't sound all that implausible that under these conditions people will just straight up buy or rent established Upwork accounts because you won't get any responses from clients otherwise.
