[Brief System Is Terrible for Buyers]

Yes, I do mark them  "Buyer not credible/suspected spam" if they are not genuine buyers.

[Finding new work]

Buyers used to post jobs on "Buyer Requests" but that was discontinued, and replaced by briefs that are supposed to be custom selected and sent to the sellers whose gigs are a match. However, I don't know if these are sent to new sellers, and most are not relevant anyway.

[Brief System Is Terrible for Buyers]

As a seller, I find most briefs I receive totally unrelated to the services I offer. They are not well-personalised at all and many are just from new sellers trying to promote their own services. They don't seem to be screened at all.

[Bring Back Buyer Request]

I never liked the buyer request feature but I am sure it was well-used by new sellers on the platform. The "briefs" feature was a good idea, but unfortunately, the seller isn't given enough ability to stipulate what type of work they provide. I rarely get a brief that matches my skills or what I provide. Most want translation services or things that are totally irrelevant to me. About half the briefs received are, wrongly,  from new sellers trying to sell their services.
 

[Is the Get Brief useful on Fiverr?]

I am getting two or three buyer briefs every day, but most either don't match the services I offer, and 3 out of every five are from sellers incorrectly using the service, not from buyers.

I haven't been sent a suitable brief yet, but they seem to be getting closer to what I offer recently. Usually their budget is way off track, or the brief is too vague. Let's hope the feature is still being perfected.
