You read that right. You will now have to pay $0.15 per Connect to bid on a job, with some jobs costing up to 6 Connects or $.90.
The most noticeable impact? Less competition for jobs. The barrier to entry just got raised a lot, spam reduced, etc.
I’m personally against it, even though I only bid on a couple of jobs per month. The people already out hustling me or writing better proposals or with a better skilllset are going to continue to do so anyways, but this has much larger implications. It feels like a gamble now with a degree of skill involved - almost like sports betting. And for people in some countries, bidding $.90 is a pretty large wager at that, amounting to what, half a days pay?
If you’re great at what you do, not much will change besides paying what might amount to be a $5-20 fee per month depending on how many and the type of jobs you apply for. With that said, nows the time to apply for long term jobs for free while you still can and use up whatever Connects you might have left.
