Can anyone confirm, that any of these sites have found them remote jobs? I would love to know as I am interested in joining, but I don't actually think its worth it?

As the maker of Nomad List: no, definitely no guarantee and it's not the main purpose of the community at all.

It's just a chat and there's a jobs channel. I know many people found clients etc. through it but it's very informal. Think of it like a bar, not a network event. You might meet the right people, you might not.

Why do you recommend against gigster specifically? Just curious given that Andreessen funded them.

I read that as

  I do not recommend
  * http://upwork.com
  * http://freelancer.com
  * http://nubelo.com
  * http://fiverr.com
  * http://workana.com
  * http://guru.com
i.e. [redacted] does not recommend upwork, fiverr, freelancer.com, etc.

Could you explain me why you don't like those "I do not recomment" sites? I just registered at upwork.com and would love to know the (bad) experiences you had with them, for instance. Thanks!
