It was many years ago when Micha Kaufman offered early stage Fiverr operatives in the UK to get together in a nice little London basement. 

I was apprehensive, traveling 100+ miles but I'd built up relations with fellow hard working Fiverr sellers so we all decided to meet up and enjoy whatever was about to happen. 

1) I stood outside said venue with Micha and I asked him to consider a "tip" scenario so really good work could be tipped. He looked at me over his cigarette and said, "Yes, that could work - let me look at that".... 6 months later, it was instigated. 

2) Micha took us inside and told us all about this TEAM dynamic. I bloody loved it. We were all part of a team. We helped each other out, we were there as a team for each other regardless of financial gains or losses. Great business model - a socialist agenda whilst remains true to capitalist ideas of actually earning money - made perfect sense to me. 

Only issue is, since that awesome time in London where we actually got to speak to Micha, he's fudged us. 

The latest AI invention is an absolute farce for sellers - just more revenue for Micha and his bulls*t idea of trying to keep up with the Joneses. 

I've produced about £150k in my time here, not a huge amount but something of substance - that's about 30k revenue for Micah. 

Fiverr was the idea Micha. It meant $5 for a good job. You've gone too far with your ideas of keeping up with the Musk et al, and you've forgotten about those who got you there. 

We are happy producing what we do (we're not all capitalist dictators like you and Musk), so allow us to continue with our £20k a year enjoyment please. 

Stop progressing this platform to a degree that will turn your absolute loyal users against you. 

What an absolute sh*t show you've made this Micha!
