Just my thoughts
After looking through some of the jobs in the Jobs tab's, i have found that many of them suffer from jobs were Task X is worth 50$ but is priced at about 15, These are just my thoughts, and i urge anyone looking to take a job to inquire more about the work before they take it, Idk this could all be wrong
You're very correct, there are people asking for stuff like F4 menus for $30 when you could make a good one, put it on the marketplace, and easily make several hundred to several thousand dollars
People tend to not realise how much quality work actually costs, hence the prices in the job sections. Most competent developers will not work their ass off for $50, however, you will always find some beginner willing to take the job - which is also why they keep on being made. Nowadays private work for big communities willing to spend or releasing gmodstore scripts is the way to go, the job section hardly has any interesting offers.
Yes, I have seen Jobs often, where people dont tend to realise that a marketplace script is so cheap because it is sold so often. Also there is often the case that people have lots of requierements for the easiest jobs with the lowest budgets.
yeah you are right , most people don't tend to look into what the market/freelancer offer , people that applie for low cost job are just biggners or scammers , and people that ask for job done don't know that most freelancer can work per Hour and that can cost more ( when i see jobs with 10-50$ budget ,and you will need to work for hours to get it done i find it ridiculous)
Sometimes I take low paid jobs just because I want something to work on and it might look somewhat interesting
Not the "please make me a custom gamemode from scratch for $5 kthxbai" jobs though :P
