That's interesting! As a freelancer, when I see a job posted with a budget that is way below the rate I'd expect, I assume the client is just looking for the cheapest freelancer and doesn't appreciate the value of good copy, so I don't apply.
And I have no doubt you are not the only one. The thing is, if I put my actually budget, the same thing happens, I get a bunch of copy-pasters who just match my budget. I seem to get a more genuine offer when I lowball. Maybe it's foolish on my part and maybe I'm missing some great people because of it, but I'm very happy with the people I have hired so far
