Anyone can be a business buyer.

This too will change gradually. 

@miiila I have a 4-digit minimum engagement limit and ANYONE who chooses to set their budget as  "flexible" gets to send a Brief my way.

Fun fact: out of 254 briefs received thus far, just 2 had an actual budget stated. Everyone else was "like, super-flexible, OMG!".

I just turned off mine. If I set a minimum budget, that should mean something. "Flexible" is not a budget. It's a "no, you!". I don't get what's so hard about saying how much you can spend, and then I can tell you what you can get for that price. It's not like it's a one size fits all on my side either, I can do the same project differently at different price points.

For me Briefs was a waste of time. I never received anything relevant, and it was mostly spam. So I turned it off, just like many others I assume. I am still keeping an eye on it to see how it evolves.

Yes, and I kind of get why the system lets briefs with "flexible" and BRs with "-" pass, both as BRs and Briefs, but what I do not get is why I see $5 BRs, when I set a minimum of $50 or $100, I've tried two or three different settings, results seem to be the same.

I had turned them off, then back on again, after we could send a message instead of an offer, and report them. Nothing ever came out of it, apart from me reporting loads of Briefs by Telegram scammers. At this point, I only still have them turned on out of scientific interest in whether Fiverr will overcome this wave eventually, or if platformkind is doomed to everlasting Telegram scam spam.
