Those platform are pretty bad unless you are a beginner or you're into a very specific niche. I started on those platforms and I couldn't scale up my rate well enough as without those platforms. At the same time I know a few crypto devs who built their reputation there and can get good rates. For high paid normal web development, nothing beats a good network of wealthy companies who constantly need crap done.
