Ask How do higher fees affect client relationships?

[Edward22]

Platform fees keep rising, and this often pushes freelancers to raise their rates just to stay afloat financially. Some clients already know that fees are out of a freelancer's hands, so they accept the change without much complaint. Others feel like they are paying more for the same service, and this can quietly create distance between both sides. Trust and communication matter a lot here. How have rising fees changed the way you relate with your clients lately?
