I recently communicated, via email, with Thumbtack that the requests I was getting were inaccurate, the people requesting didn't know what pro photography costs, and Thumbtacks rep. in my world of contacts, was that it is bottom feeders. I did a few jobs in the early days, but it has gotten worse. Bottom line, Thumbtack allows 5 bids at $x. Whose making money? Only them. I literally deleted my account in full yesterday.
