I contacted support because I still can’t get my account verified, even though I’ve already paid for the subscription. The verification keeps saying my image is blurry, but the photo is crystal clear and high quality. It looks like there may be an issue with the third-party verification system rather than the image itself. Could you please help me verify my account or provide another verification option?

This platform has gone way downhill. It was nice when it started - a platform with no fees that takes no commissions. Clearly too good to be true, and only to build up a userbase. Now it is almost wholly pay-to-play and focuses on no skill, low skill work.

It says it can accommodate payments in stablecoin. Okay. I was still on the prep session getting all my work samples uploaded and even had to devise *two* services only to clear the requirements to get exposure to the gigs. The last one hurdle is they want a custom video of me yet explaining what I do and who I am and all these millennial stuff AND it has to be on Loom? Why assume everyone has a Loom, or wants to sign up with yet another website only for this purpose? Why even WASTE MORE TIME signing up? How many hours do you want to deprive every new user of with all this nonsense? I already uploaded my national ID, with decades of work experience, if that's not enough for verification then the problem is obviously not me. This is not "work the way I want" as it becomes clear the platform is just as frustrating as the others that are already saturated with cheap clients. If it weren't for the usdc payment option this would've been a 1-star. I'm ticking the box below to "let them know about my review" and I will log in to my dashboard again in a couple days, see if anybody actually reads this stuff and get rid of the bs protocol. Probably not. Maybe I'll be surprised.
