I've been on Fiverr for around 2 years now. At first, when a I was just a new seller, there was not a lot of buyers requests. I used to see like 1-5 buyers request, sometimes none. It kinda felt useless in the beginning. Then got a few orders through the buyers request, I became a Level One Seller and the number of buyers requests went from around 5 to around 5000. I was really surprised and happy to see so many buyers requests. But kinda sad that I can only send 10 offers per day. But still, its better than nothing ( or just around 5 buyers request ). Things have been pretty well in fiverr. I could at least see, what buyers are looking for, what's trending nowadays, if there's something new I should learn, and so on. It was a great feature.
Agreed, there were a few ( like around 2-5 within 5000 ) buyers requests that were spam, which most people can easily identify. but most of were genuine people who wanted to buy our services.
Then fiverr removed the buyers request and replaced with a "half baked" AI that can't do anything but annoy the sellers with weird, irrelevant, unwanted posts that has mostly nothing to do with the sellers. Whoever worked on the AI, did the worst job imaginable. Not sure if they even tested the feature properly before releasing it to production.
I myself brought 20+ people to fiverr, when it was actually a good platform. People could actually get orders, earn money. But now i don't even recommend fiverr to anybody.
They say, they removed buyers requests because of the spammy posts. Its like cutting your head for having a mild cold.
Pardon my English but its been rather frustrating to see a good marketplace becoming useless. Pardon the usage of the harsh words, which are used because of the love for the platform.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
