    We *are* open minded towards AI - just not to the way Fiverr is deploying it ... !

    Some bloke sent me a photo of someone's private parts years ago - don't know if they were his, cuz I couldn't see his face. Not very impressive ... Point is: you are not alone ...

    Well, well - it doesn't pass copyleaks, but then again, very little does. My apologies, @Kesha
  4. coerdelion
    Forgive me, but isn't it against the rules to cut/paste AI generated copy here, without indicating somewhere that that's what it is ... ?

    Google is losing traffic to Bing ...

    My subscriptions are not automatically subtracting the % discount when raised from the order page or chat, so I have to do maths. Eeek! On the up side, tho, they are automatically renewed without having to hang around waiting for the buyer to accept each month. Swings, roundabouts ...
  7. coerdelion
    Yup. That's the very least to be done when working on SEO ...

    Yep. I have come to the conclusion that the new AI algorithm is stuck. No one seems to be going up or down. Fiverr tells us the success scores are "stable". One wonders if this is their version of "stuck" ... It's almost as if the algorithm would run better if shut off for most of any given month and only run occasionally - say ... the 15th of every month ... ?

    @uk1000 - perhaps I wasn't clear enough for you. The medical AI guy stood out like a sore thumb. I am aware AI is used for all kinds of diagnostics and surgery preparedness right now. However, including that person in a Fiverr webinar implies that it's something sellers can do without the impressive experience and credentials he has. Indeed, he said at one point something to the effect that coding is becoming less necessary as AI improves. Right now, One can use AI to code (badly, imo) but he also mentioned that right now, the coding has to be checked and effectively rewritten by a human to make it work - at all, not just properly. I made the mistake of abbreviating his talk on the basis that people who a) are familiar with Fiverr, b) watched the webinar and c) have some sense (I know you fit all three options) could fill in the gaps. The webinar, as expected, gave us simple stuff to begin with, immediately followed by an - unexpected! - application of complex AI in medicine. Those two things are inappropriate in the same webinar. The juxtaposition of the two may give the impression to those sellers who use AI for writing spam and creating graphics that their next step - complex AI - is well within their grasp. It isn't.

    @emmaki - AI webinar: How to prompt and get useable answers How to teach Chat GPT maths, which it will promptly forget Use Copilot Learn Python There was one guy who builds AIs for medical use. Personaly, I'd be wary of asking anyone from Fiverr to build an AI for diagnostics or operation planning, but that's me. Also, Fiverr uses a ranking system and always has. So pants on fire for that one ...

    No they didn't - that order is still in your analytics and therefore is still in the database. That is why it's still affecting your gig stats. CS, by the way, is trained to be a human shield between us sellers and managerial level - y'no, those people who can actually *do* anything about any of our complaints. No point blaming them - they're doing as they're told.
  12. coerdelion
    Wow! That was rude. That confirms it: Fiverr's broken clock isn't even right twice a day ...
  13. coerdelion
    "In today's dynamic digital environment [...]" - no one even scanned that article for the blindingly obvious ...

    To be fair, Fiverr has always been an hour out for as long as I've been here. Sign up for a webinar, supposed to start at 2.00 BST and it will start at 3.00 BST. Same problem with GMT. Fiverr just doesn't recognise that the UK actually *has* its own time zone, but thinks it should have the same one as France.

    Resistance is futile ...

    They were divorced shortly after that ... maybe Wendy's time off for good behaviour ... ?

    If you eat a meal in a restaurant and leave a tip, it's generally in the form of folding money. The server slips the whole lot into their pocket, smiles, says thank you and y'all move on with your lives. If, on the other hand, you don't want to or are unable to leave folding money, you add an amount to the bill when presented and pay with your credit card. This probably doesn't get noticed by the server. They're taxed on it, since it shows up in their pay. And the restaurant probably takes a cut, too. Moving on to how Fiverr deals with tips. It's the latter method, rather than the former. There's no way for a seller to be paid in cash - that would be communication outside Fiverr, which would be a breach of TOS. Fiverr takes 20% of *all* transactions. That's clear from TOS. Their margin is a good deal less than working through agencies, which margin is generally around 35%, only they don't tell you about that usually. Also, Fiverr is not a restaurant.

    Thank you. @emmaki - that's going to be really useful

    According to Moz, Fiverr has a 47% spam score. One wonders how it managed to stay indexed ... Still, google hasn't finished the core rollout yet, so there's more to come ...

    It's interesting timing for this announcement. Fiverr has 30 days to follow through, which takes us to May 3rd - 6 days before Q1 results are expected to be published. Today's market cap is just under $805m, so $100m is a significant portion of the current value. Are they really expecting share price to rise as a result of Q1 results?

    Thanks for this, @emmaki - great job!
  22. coerdelion
    Me, too!

    @emmaki- you may want to add a bit into your ebook about not using the same password for everything. Particularly Fiverr and their payment method.
  24. coerdelion
    Well, *that's* 🤮 I was joking - but the more I think about it, the more I'm behind that idea ...
  25. coerdelion
    I would certainly be willing to pay, say, $5 for a copy of that, complete with dissemination rights ...
