From mid February, I have noticed the same

Sounds like it is encouraging dishonest public reviews, which could be quite damaging to the platform's credibility.

Very true!

You will only know it because of the sudden drop in sales/visibility on the platform and/or loosing access to certain stuff, like promoted gigs. It will not affect your public rating, so technically, a buyer can leave a perfect five-star review and then leave a terrible private review - and you would think everything is fine and dandy because of the five-star review. I doubt many buyers do this, but it can happen. Most often, I suspect they will leave a five-star rating because they think it's "expected" of them, and then tell the truth in private to Fiverr. Perhaps they didn't think you exceeded expectations, but merely met them, and that your delivery was nothing but "average". Get too many private reviews like that, and you're sure to notice it where it huts the most: your wallet. 

It hurts

Most often, a sudden drop in visibility on Fiverr is caused by your stats dropping or negative private feedback affecting your buyer satisfaction rate. Keep working with your regular buyers and make sure you over-deliver, offer great support and deliver high-quality work to everyone. That should hopefully help you get some positive private reviews from your regulars. 

I will, always! Thank you sir!

I used to get several new enquiries a day for at least the last couple of years - as of a few months ago I suddenly only got one or two a week.

Fortunately I have lots of  long-term clients. However, I find it very suspicious - clearly there's something going on with the Fiverr algorithm that has affected me or others. Or its just me?
