I’ve dived back into Upwork after a year off and things seem to have changed

bots seem to be auto bidding 100’s of connects on my niche (web design/dev) and reach 50+ proposals within the hour

im looking for some advice on strategy

should I entertain boosting and competing in this crazy race if spenidng?

if I don’t boost on something with 50+ proposals do I even have a shot?

would love to know some strategies for the web design niche because it seems absolutely flooded right now

for context last year I was able to boost around 30-40 connects with a quick loom and as long as I was bidding within the first 2 hours I would get viewed or messaged. now I can’t even get seen at all
