Yep I just read your article, good one ... what I like about Upwork is how well their site/platform works, everything's well thought out, the whole thing is really professional.
The problem (but it's not their fault) is that the whole world is on it, including people who are prepared to bid for ridiculously low amounts or rates - but yeah that's a fact of life, it's the "globalized" world we live in, and actually I like it better than something like Toptal's rather artificial "elitist" top-3-percent approach :)
So with Upwork it just takes time and patience to weed out the bad and find something good - you can count on "the good" to be there, but it takes effort to find it ...
Note that I haven't tried any other sites/platforms, so I'm not in a position to make a general and balanced judgement on this "market" and the players active in it.
