At least it's on the way I think ? People are trying to get medias to be more transparent about their prices, especially with freelancers. Nothing much is happening with short term…

True. And they for sure took the wrong direction to build a new trust so it will probably take quite a while. There's been a big the wave of new medias but not many survived more t…
