Is it a joke like nobody pays writers, or is the site actually down?

If they want to go that route, they can return HTTP status code 402 Payment Required.

Hug of death.

Though when I looked earlier this morning, I saw some sweet $0.03/word and $0.00/word "jobs" /s

At the bottom, a link goes on to explain:

> The Compensation Foundation is a public, online, platform for collecting, sharing, and analyzing how contingent workers (freelancers, contract workers, creative professionals, permalancers) are compensated.

> Information clearinghouses empower workers to negotiate their compensation agreements and make more informed decisions about their careers. We hope that increased transparency will create competitive conditions for employers, as well as foster environments where standards and best-practices can emerge.

It was up when I checked ~30 mins ago. It appears to be down now though.
