Ask Are freelance opportunities actually shrinking or does it just feel that way online?

[Edward22]

Online communities and social media can make things look worse than they actually are, because people are more likely to post when they are struggling than when things are going well. But at the same time, many freelancers are genuinely finding it harder to land new clients compared to a few years ago. It is difficult to separate the real situation from the noise. The market may still have opportunities, but they could be in places or niches that are less visible. Do you think the opportunities are really fewer or just harder to find?
