At least you're likely not a person who works at a freelance agency where you purposefully do poor work or break things, so then you can bill more time "fixing" the problem - until the client gets the wiser at least, or there's another more oblivious client you can grift much more easily who doesn't know better?
The above seems to be how the top billing agencies on Upwork function, with fewer staff you can grift more people because the hours being billed aren't honest, and so you can have more clients and reach the "top" earnings position faster and more easily; with the same practices existing at least on one of the two prior platforms before oDesk and Elance merged.
