I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed “redacted for privacy.” Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn’t going to get screwed over

    Redacted registrars and contact info at this point just means small-time origins. Most registrars will offer it for free or very cheap.

    Poking around reddit, it appears it’s not a scam per se, but the low barrier to entry on both sides means there’s a lot of low-info/low-budget creators on one side, offering gigs that may not be worthwhile and including a lot of people asking for “samples” or tryouts that seem suspiciously like requests for free work. Then on the jobseeker side there are a lot of unskilled newbies just putting their availability out there.

    Seems like having a profile is not a bad idea, but each specific opportunity would need to be vetted, and anything that smells fishy probably is.
