This line from those "bios" caught my attention:
I’d affection to help you with your written work, altering and substance needs!
...because I mentally "autocorrected" the latter half to "and mind-altering substance needs"... Looks like they used a "thesauriser" on it. Not hard to see love->affection, editing->altering, and content->substance.
Of course, if you are under the influence of a mind-altering substance, you would probably not notice anything wrong with that page. ...and unfortunately, so would many people who aren't.

Ha, and the "de-thesaurised" version of that phrase is indeed from this upwork profile!

The whole thing is full of rehashed phrases:

Craziness. Auto-generated soup to farm SEO?
Seems to be at least some sort of copy and paste going on...
edit: This is so bizarre, one of the sites has a section with editor "bios" but they read like some sort of very poor odesk/fiverr profiles, wouldn't be surprised if thats what they are...
