I am writing to express my concern regarding a pattern I have noticed among sellers on the Fiverr platform over the last three months. Several sellers, including myself, have experienced a sudden drop in order clicks and overall engagement, leading to a state of silence. It appears as though our profiles and gigs have been shadowbanned by the Fiverr algorithm, resulting in a significant decline in business opportunities. 

I have diligently followed Fiverr's guidelines, maintained high-quality services, and delivered exceptional work to my clients. However, despite my best efforts, my gigs have become invisible to potential buyers. It feels as though an algorithmic shadow has been cast over my profile, blocking me from reaching new customers. 

I kindly request that you look into this matter and provide clarification on the following: 

Are there specific changes to the Fiverr algorithm that may have impacted the visibility of seller profiles and gigs? 

Have there been any platform updates or policy modifications that could explain the sudden drop in engagement for sellers? 

Is there a mechanism in place to appeal or rectify situations where legitimate sellers are inadvertently affected by the algorithm? 

As a dedicated and hardworking freelancer, I take pride in providing valuable services to clients. The sudden lack of visibility has significantly impacted my income and ability to sustain my business on Fiverr. I would greatly appreciate your transparency and assistance in resolving this matter. 

Thank you for your attention to this important issue. I look forward to your prompt response and hope to receive clarification on the algorithm's behavior and any potential solutions. 

How many sellers from the last 3 months have been shadow banned by fiverr algorithm orders just went silent no clicks nothing
