I would gladly use an alternative _just_ so my eggs are in more baskets. I tried freelancer, it's so unusuably bad and bloated that it really makes upwork look great, and upwork is a site that is down 2 hours a day 3 times a week for "maintenance". Their messenger also kinda sucks. Freelancer for example has hardly any filter options for freelancers to filter jobs. I have done some work on Upwork, as implied above, and here is another issue I had that makes me want more sites to market myself on: I once filed a support ticket / complaint that my profile page only showed my very oldest (i.e. simplest and lowest cost) jobs to users who are not logged in. If you were logged in, it would show you more. I got a response that said "Oh well, most people are logged in, deal with it". After a ticket is closed you have an option to rate it, so I clicked "unsatsifactory - did not resolve issue"... and within 30 minutes my account was flagged for review, I was unable to bid on jobs or to withdraw money. I'm not 100% certain, but it seems damn likely the agent I rated poorly flagged my account. To their credit, it didn't take long to have my account reviewed / verify my identity. That said, there is no reason I should have been flagged with such conspicuous timing, being top rated, long time user, all 5 star reviews...
