[Seeking Volunteer Interviewees For College Survey On Freelancing And Retirement Planning]

If anyone from the university wants to do this, they need to get permission from Fiverr. not go around contacting individual sellers.

i was contacted about this, and I offered this as a solution, and it was declined because the interview has to be recorded and they wanted to do a Zoom call. I don't think any seller will be comfortable with this as its not for an order or a potential order. 

I wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions to help in a study, but I agree that their approach is not ideal. I will ask the support how to proceed and, if the given solution doesn't work for the students, then I won't be able to help them anyway.

Thank you for the suggestion.

It's supposed to be a video conference, and as I just recently started working on Fiverr I don't have it enabled on chat for non-clients. But would that be the best option, then?

Hi, everyone!

I know that contacting clients outside of Fiverr's platform is against the TOS. I'm ok with that and even like it, to be honest. Though, a group of students from the University of Groningen are conducting research as part of a larger research project on the use of generative AI by freelancers, and asked me if I could help them by answering a couple of questions on that topic.

Is it ok if they send me a Googe Meet link and I attend it? Because I definitely don't want to get in trouble while trying to help them.

It wouldn't be anything work-related, of course.

Thanks
