Things are getting more strict with upwork and other such freelancing platforms. I was also using my friend's paypal but then they blocked that particular account and asked me to connect with my own account.


> I was also using my friend's paypal but then they blocked that particular account

can i ask why you were using a friend's account?


Have you considered using your own paypal or bank account to work on freelancing platforms? This almost reads as satire.


This isn't the only website which is ranking on first position using such blackhat SEO tactics but if everyone mention them like you do, then they will surely not going to remain at top for long.


They are making these changes after they were accused of censoring pro-Palestinian content

Broken button bugs happen all the time, even to billion dollar companies (there is a nice educational video about this listed here)

Here are 3 common reasons:

1) Adblockers. Did you know 26% of the internet uses adblockers?

2) Server error. There's an actual bug on Upwork ($6 billion dollar company, check the stock ticker $UPWK) where clicking a button didn't work. When I checked the Network tab in Chrome Developer Console, it was due to a 500 error from the backend.

3) Forgetting "href" attribute in `a` tag. This actually happened to the "Sign In" button of a billion dollar startup.

How much would catching even just one of these bugs be worth to you?

I got this idea when I was visiting a car insurance website I learned about in a Snapchat ad....and their quiz was broken due to a broken button. Which was caused by...an adblocker chrome extension I had installed.

Now you can easily catch broken buttons that cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

Easily debug these broken buttons using "click highlights", which are screenshots with the click highlighted.
