Fiverr reduced the earning threshold for TRS from $20k to $10k. Does this mean there's a lot less business and it's harder to attain $20k?

As the title states. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Not really. People that earn quite a lot and are worthy of TRS won't have a problem getting to that goal anyway.  I think they wanted to make TRS even more accessible and not force people that are worthy of TRS to wait $10k more. Then again, lowering the treshold is not seen that well by platform veterans. The process is still the same, so it's not like there's any major difference.

There is less work on the platform due to AI and economical problems, so that might be a reason too.

Lowering the threshold is not a problem, Even earning more then threshold is not a problem but fiverr will only allow those sellers to TRS who are really qualifying for that. TRS batch is given after manual review by the fiverr team, So even if they do a threshold to 5k$ from 10k$, does not matter.

It is obviously now harder to earn here because of a couple of factors..

Lowering the threshold was to help those in certain categories who find it difficult to hit $20k but offer exceptional and high quality services in a professional manner. Not all niches are same! Certain services don't have the luxury of repeat clients. It's a one-time service. But these sellers do exceptionally well for years. 

So this move was more of prompting excellent services and professionalism rather than looking at the amount earned. Earnings are still ok.
