Yeah, I guess we'll simply adapt to writing boring wills just to make our magnificent and smart AI happy in the hope that it will look at us with loving eyes and keep our rating safe, even if we annoy our buyers.

I insist Fiverr is throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. There's no consistency whatsoever. Just as an example: The gig I posted above showing "room for growth" in the communication area, and "positive impact" in the order cancellation area, used to show "strong positive impact" in the order cancellation area and nothing else. So there, "used to show": past tense of the verb "not anymore". It's admirable to see how Fiverr pulls things out of its hat. Pure magic, and we all love magic. Don't we? 🥰

Sorry to disagree. I also have zero order cancellations and, yet, all my gigs show "positive impact" in that area, even if the gig has a SC of 10. Fiverr is just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks...

The problem here is how much more that stu... adorable AI wants me to communicate with my buyers. Until they get sick and tired of me and kick my 🍑 for pestering them??? 😡

Two different "me"s... I guess Fiverr's almighty AI found my long-lost twin I didn't know about. 🥳 🎊🎉 Gig A: Gig B

They just don't know what else to do to trick buyers into not rating us 5 stars. They're running out of ideas...

No. The "Exceptional" still exists. It's part of the public review. The "Perfect" is part of the private feedback. Both are the same [fill in the blank]...

It's not that they don't understand or have never understood. It's that they want it as it is! They don't want buyers rating their sellers 5 stars even when deserved. Simple as that!

True, I forgot that part. 🙈😂 I usually just press the " . " key before marking it as spam.

That's how. End of story!

Fiverr just wants us to do its dirty work. And if we play along, we could even get a bad private review from our buyers for pestering them. So, forcing us to do it, is a win-win situation for Fiverr: AI gets fed (or not) and our ratings go down as planned by Fiverr's 'geniuses'...

And Fiverr calls it science... 🙄 At this point, I don't know which face would be the most appropriate one, a 🤦‍♀️ or a 🤡. 😑

People keep forgetting that buyers can leave private feedback without having to leave a public review. That on the one hand. On the other hand (and here I'll play along with Fiverr)... Fiverr says it's being more transparent. Ok, include your poorly written and subjective private feedback in our rating calculation and breakdown. Buuuuuuuut... Do you know what transparency would really mean, especially if you were playing fair? Letting us know how none-perfect private feedback translates into a 4.9, 4.8, 4.7, or whatever, and how many perfect feedbacks are needed to counter each of the not-so-perfect ones. How else would anyone know what to do to improve whatever is not perfect? It makes no sense to have customer satisfaction metrics with a "strong negative/negative impact" showing on the gigs if the seller doesn't have the tools to counter and make it better. Parameters must be objective, never subjective—especially if you're using them for calculation.

To Fiverr becoming a meksell-freelance platform. That's where this is heading.

This is how my rating looked yesterday: This is how it shows today... 😑 I'm just so tired of this cr*p...

This is how your rating appears on your profile, and without VPN. I'm in incognito mode. Your gigs are also displaying the new rating breakdown.

By the way, @Kesha, in case there's any doubt about what I'm saying, this is her review:

@KeshaSo are you saying that after more than a month I can message my buyer letting her know she can contact CS to get her rating corrected and I won't get a warning??? This was her message just seconds after rating me, and my reply telling her not to do anything because I could get a warning. This is how I knew I got hit with the "value for money", even before I had time to read the review.

I guess it all comes down to status. The seller is a PRO...

This is the part that scares me the most... We've already seen how clever Fiverr's mighty AI is...

You forgot the 🤩 emoji to keep it real. Just saying...

Under no circumstances accept the delivery. If the seller is not willing to cancel, request revisions, and keep doing so until you hear from Customer Support.

You haven't yet been introduced to the best that feature has for you: buyers pressing the lovely revision button just to ask a question instead of using the order chat. 😊 You'll fall in love the day it happens and will praise Fiverr with all your soul, especially now that revisions count against us! 🥰

To be honest, that's only only thing I agree with Fiverr on—and I would've been even more drastic. I would've limited the gigs to 5. Yes, FIVE and only FIVE!!! 90% of the gigs sellers have are duplicate gigs. Tell that to all those who saw their scores drop due to cancellations/late deliveries (old and new). If they weren't as important as before, Fiverr wouldn't be showing them as a negative/strong negative impact.
