tynamite's avatar I recommend not using them at all.
They all pay people below the minimum wage, and exploit people in marginalised countries, where the poor don't have viable access to jobs, so they accept the pittance with these sites.

That's why I've never joined these sites. I would rather have no work, than to reduce the value of the industry to the race of the bottom.

I only use Upwork.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
