Are you a real (paying) member? or a fiverr employee? or a bot? Your reply sounds like you're an apologist for fiverr. Have you had true interactions and gotten paid? Please elaborate...

They might have just used chatGPT to help their writing, it's quite common on here. 

But here's the thing.

The site IS real.

I've gotten paid (and completed lots of work.)

But... Starting on here won't be easy. Spam is rampant, though measures have been taken to try and get rid od it. As for competition... Well, it's as tight as it gets. 

Fiverr is also an international site so you'll meet a lot of 'foreigners'. Keep in mind that you're a foreigner to them, too.

That being said, the platform is far from perfect. It's tricky because there are tons of good features, but it's currently not as good as it used to be. Once you break through the initial wave of spam and manage to establish yourself it calms down a bit but it never quite disappears. 

I think that's partially due to how easy it is to sign up, especially as a buyer.

I'm pretty sure Fiverr is a clear example of Enshittification and Dead Internet Theory. This platform use to be vibrant and creative and quirky but now a days I don't really even recognize it anymore.

Hello!

I can understand your frustration, but I’d like to assure you that Fiverr is a legitimate platform that connects talented freelancers with clients from all over the world. While it's true that you may encounter spam or less-than-ideal experiences, that's not reflective of the platform as a whole.

Here are a few tips to improve your experience and find quality sellers:

  1. Check Reviews and Ratings: Look for sellers with consistently high ratings and positive reviews.
  2. View Portfolios: Many sellers showcase their work, which can help you assess their quality and expertise.
  3. Communicate Clearly: Before placing an order, send a message to sellers to discuss your project and gauge their professionalism.

Fiverr is a diverse community with professionals from around the globe, and many sellers, including myself, are dedicated to delivering exceptional work. I’ve personally been working on Fiverr for nearly 8 years and have completed [insert your achievements, e.g., hundreds of successful projects] for satisfied clients worldwide.

Möglicherweise haben sie einfach chatGPT als Hilfe beim Schreiben verwendet, das ist hier recht üblich. 

Aber hier ist die Sache.

Die Seite IST echt.

Ich wurde bezahlt (und habe viel Arbeit erledigt).

Aber... der Anfang hier wird nicht einfach. Spam ist allgegenwärtig, obwohl Maßnahmen ergriffen wurden, um ihn loszuwerden. Und was die Konkurrenz angeht... Nun, es ist so hart wie es nur geht. 

Fiverr ist außerdem eine internationale Site, daher triffst du viele „Ausländer“. Denke daran, dass du für sie auch ein Ausländer bist.

Allerdings ist die Plattform noch lange nicht perfekt. Es ist schwierig, weil es jede Menge gute Funktionen gibt, aber derzeit nicht so gut ist wie früher. Sobald Sie die erste Spam-Welle durchbrochen und es geschafft haben, sich zu etablieren, beruhigt sich die Situation ein wenig, aber sie verschwindet nie ganz. 

Ich denke, das liegt teilweise daran, wie einfach die Anmeldung ist, insbesondere als Käufer.

Diese Antwort hat mir sehr geholfen. Danke! Ich bin seit 18.01.25 dabei....also seit drei Tagen. Ich habe bisher 11 Spam Nachrichten bekommen und war schon fast unsicher ob ich etwas falsch gemacht habe, weil immer alle meine paypal email haben wollten xD Ich bin etwas beruhigt das es nicht nur mir so geht und ich auf kein fishing reingefallen bin. Ich habe mich nur hier angemeldet, weil ich einen Kollegen habe der sehr gute Erfahrungen mit Fiverr gemacht hat. ich werde mal noch 1-2 Monate abwarten und schauen wie es sich entwickelt. Viel Erfolg an alle! ^^
