Ask Is Upwork becoming less transparent every year?

[Edward22]

Many freelancers feel that Upwork does not explain its changes clearly anymore, especially when it comes to fees, rankings, and how jobs get shown to different people. Updates often happen quietly, leaving freelancers to figure things out through trial and error instead of clear information from the platform itself. This lack of clear communication makes some people trust the platform less than before. Do you feel Upwork has become less transparent with freelancers as the years pass?
