>Their rules state that you must have the Upwork Desktop App on you computer which installs some sort of video malware onto your laptop AND have your webcam visible and on at all times so that the customer success agent can audit that you looked like you were working through the webcam while staring at a screen. How is that not the creepiest shit ever? Compare this to the Upwork App's description https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211064098-Log-Time-with-the-Desktop-App https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211064098-Log-T... . It seems pretty reasonable. By default, it snaps a picture every 10 minutes. If you do not want to upload a snapshot, it removes the 10 minutes from your recorded hours. It captures info about how often you used keystrokes and clicked, but not what you typed or clicked. The benefit of using the app is instant approval and payment. On my reading, it looks like the author failed to take a 10 minute survey in 3 days, losing his work hours. That seems like a pretty reasonable ask that he failed on.
