It is an issue that there is a direct correlation between not being able to promote one's gig and your organic reach plummeting simultaneously for a prolonged period of time, with no direction on how to course correct. Of course the algorithm can vary and Sellers don't need to know exactly how that works but in my opinion, this specific issue is a glitch due to sloppy development that they are not sure how to fix.
Separately, when you run a FB campaign or Google Adwords campaign and your ad is taken down for "quality issues," as a paying customer, you are informed on what needs to be addressed so you can tweak and adjust as necessary. It makes no sense to "punish" Sellers regularly without giving them any insight as to why, pushing them to the point where they leave the platform all together.
