Is fiverr dying

[hamingtone]

it came to my attention that alot of sellers including top sellers who have been on the platform for years are being given the middle finger for no obvious reason, and seeing the main issues is this new ridiculous "succes score", is fiverr going to take our complaints into concideration or are we just lambs to the algorithmic slaughter..

Fiverr can not be dying.

Fiverr is doing absolutely fine.

There are less buyers. There are also WAYYYY more new sellers, many of which use AI and have little to no talent. So you can see why they added that success score thing, to differentiate the millions of sellers/gigs. There are less buyers on Fiverr based on the latest info, however the platform itself is not dying. Yet due to having more competition and less buyers, you can see a lot of sellers, even the older ones, struggling.

It is possible, any company can die, regardless of its size. Bad decisions can lead to closure. But in the case of Fiverr, it seems to be doing fine. However, it did lose buyers, like most freelancing sites did.

honestly the lack of buyers explains alot, especially when i see how the clicks and impressions have drastically tanked down since a few months ago

thank you for the new perspective though i havent tought of it that way

Many users may not be feeling the effects more than others depending on what they sell here. Fiverr is not dying, but it is definitely changing. A few things lead to this:

- Oversaturation of sellers on the platform selling very similar services (many also not qualified to do the job). I personally had someone try to sell me AI work at a high price (which I view as ‘cheating’ and ‘stealing’). 

- Pro sellers are most reliable, however that $300-1000 price tag is not affordable to everybody during times of inflation (so less orders, or orders only from buyers who can afford these higher rates).

- Scammers from both sellers/buyers sides (makes users view the site cautiously)

- New review setup (encouraged to bring more honestly in the review system from buyers), many sellers are complaining about certain aspects of this new review system that may burden/hinder their status on the platform. 

- Unprofessional users not handling business in a mature fashion. Profanity or immaturity. Causing both sellers and buyers to become frustrated. 

- Competition from the outside world (Upwork, Freelancer, etc).

This is possible. Because most of my return buyers are complaining about how they increased the service fee to $3. Some of them don't even want to place orders also.

It looks like your perspective is strictly that of a buyer, since you don't have any reviews as a seller.

Don't judge base on the number of reviews. I can't say much. Just know Fiverr is not dying!!!

it might reflect only 1/2 of the actual business we get but it still is a good indication of how much we really interact with the platform--or I should say how much business we are getting.

I dont think Fiverr is dying, but i feel like my gig is dying after the success score update

i absolutely adore you for pointing out the irony in their comments, thank you for taking the time of day to expose them

The same situation. I've been a seller on Fiverr since 2014. I have over 2000 orders. But now there has been absolute silence on my account for almost a month and a half or 2 months. Sometimes spam arrives. Sometimes a small order arrives. But if earlier I could receive 3-5 orders a day, now within a week I may not receive a single order at all. It seems that Fiverr has completely given up on attracting clients, and has focused exclusively on the design and implementation of new trendy features such as AI robots. They roll out updates faster than we can implement them. But these updates do not affect traffic in any way.
