I tried finding the +$100/h hourly rated freelancers and I don't see anything out the ordinary.
API integrations, AI like chatbots with RAG, junior devs tutoring, setting up ERP.
Idk what I was expecting, maybe crazy performance optimizations with in-depth breakdowns of what was cut or optimized and not "made a database be updated by pulling data from a public API, charged $5000".

Not sure what I'm doing wrong as someone who struggles to find work even as I drive my hourly rate lower and lower.
