Upwork’s Pulling the Plug on RSS. Here’s What It Means for You.
Hey there, fellow freelancer! Got some news that might shake up your Upwork game. On August 20th, Upwork’s shutting down its RSS feeds. Yeah, I know, it’s a bummer. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back.
Why This Matters to You
If you’re like me, you’ve probably been using Upwork’s RSS to:
- Get instant job alerts
- Filter out the noise
- Apply to gigs faster than the competition
Without RSS, you might miss out on hot opportunities. It’s like trying to catch fish with your bare hands instead of a net. Not fun, right?
The Fallout
Here’s what freelancers are saying:
“This makes it harder for us to find jobs. Bloody idiots!” - A frustrated Redditor
“Why on earth is Upwork removing the RSS feature?” - Another confused user
People are worried about:
- Missing out on time-sensitive gigs
- Wasting time scrolling through irrelevant posts
- Losing their edge in a competitive market
