I'm jumping ship from other freelancing platforms. How is this better?

Other freelancing websites are getting WORSE AND WORSE (looking at their twitter - everyone, both customers and freelancers are angry!).

My favorite freelancing platform was bought over.
It's not been pleasant there, but I've gotten by.
Now, with their upcoming 20% commission rate, it will simply not be worth the trouble to stay there.

I'm looking for options to jump ship, but I know nothing of PeoplePerHour.

Can you give me the skinny on what are the pros and cons here?

I would appreciate honest answers.

  You should have jumped before, I believe the same plague is running everywhere and everything will collapse someday, I moved long time ago from that green one to the blue one, then after they mixed blue and green I went Orange I mean here.

  pros and cons , in short it's better than Cr*pwork,

  How does Escrow work here?
  Is there a way to confirm payment before starting?
  Is there a hold on payment release?

  And inviting a new client to come here makes no sense. My existing clients, with whom I work directly, why would I bring them here? A platform like this is to find new customers, and establish new work relationships.

  If you're happy to lose money without any comeback because someone doesn't want to pay what they owe then it's fine. I won't be using this site again - they can pay me what they owe me after they deactivated my account when a conman complained that I wanted to commence legal proceedings - not only am I out of pocket for costs associated with the breach as well as loss of earnings but I now have no access to finish work or get paid - so that's over £1200 which I now consider PPH liable to pay.

  Still happier on my original choice of freelancing site where I have a very high reputation, pay lower fees and get work much more regularly.

  This site has limitations, poor support comms and high commission fees.

  You mean CrUpwork, 20% fees ?, the greed itself, green greed.
  Bots as support.
