Ask Is every freelance platform becoming more expensive?

[Edward22]

It feels like almost every freelance platform keeps raising its fees little by little, and freelancers barely notice until they check their final earnings closely. What used to be a small percentage taken from each job has slowly turned into a much bigger cut over the years. This trend makes many people wonder if freelancing is still as profitable as it used to be before all these changes. Have you noticed platforms becoming more expensive over time too?
