I've shopped at HappyWagon twice and I've had a wonderful experience each time. They have a beautiful range of illustrated products which make perfect gifts. The shipping and billing experience was seamless and quick. I would definitely buy from here again.

I approached Shine.com to find a job last year and they did share a lot of openings with me though none of them fit what I was looking for (way below the pay grade of my master's degree). I also kept getting lots of calls for air hostess positions which I never indicated any interest in. I tried to leave the site, but there was no option to do so. They will keep your CV on file forever. This is highly disturbing and unethical.

Upwork has hurt my confidence so much and hindered me from starting as a freelancer. It feels like they're outright rude and not at all sorry to see anyone go. This is not a platform for people who are just starting out, who don't have much on their portfolio. Try Upwork after having a decent portfolio and video ready. I will not be coming back. I haven't had such a bad user experience anywhere else.

Hex has many wonderful features and presents great opportunities that I shall always treasure, but it is not a safe place. The site staff appear to stand for inclusiveness or zero bullying, but allows blatant transphobia and acts slowly when it comes to standing up for minorities. Moreover they do not care about nuance and or the mental effects the rampant toxicity of the platform has on vulnerable users and impose tone policing to the degree of invalidating experiences and emotions.

I appeal to the Staff to review and clarify their rules and enforce them equally. In my short month here, I've witnessed so much partiality and unfairness. Please, have a heart. Make HEX safe. Please.
