Support & Troubleshooting

I watch very little television, but I happened to stop on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Watching, I realized that it is the exact same script as most posts in the Fiverr Forum. 

KN: Desperate couple asks Chef to come and save their failing restaurant from bankruptcy. 

FF: Desperate sellers come to forum and complain about no sales, falling sales or other such deficiencies. 

KN: Chef samples the food in the restaurant. Points out the deficiencies such as frozen food, microwaving, boring menus and unskilled cooks. 

FF: Seniors look at the seller's gigs and point out poor grammar, unoriginal work, stolen images/descriptions and exaggerated skillsets. 

KN: Restaurant owners respond, "That's BS. People love our food." "It's a family recipe, Ramsay is an idiot. 

FF: Seller ignores suggestions, but uses AI to post nonsense like "Stay online always," in an effort to appear successful. Also keeps profile pic that looks like a mug shot. 

KN: Chef finds old slimy chicken, improperly stored foods, rotten vegetables, dead bugs and mice in fridge. Owners lie, "baffled" as to how any of this may have happened. Yelling ensues. "Ramsay is an idiot. I should punch him." 

FF: Seniors find false "Fluent English," fake degrees from invented universities, and other outright lies in gigs and profiles. Point them out. Seller doubles down on lies. Yelling ensues. "You are all idiots. I should punch you." 

KN: Yelling and crying, threats to leave. 

FF. Yelling and crying, threats to leave. 

KN: Owners realize Ramsay knowns what he's talking about, promise to reform and do it the right way. 

FF: Sellers sometimes agree to make the changes suggested, thanking us for providing the proper steps. "Amazing info." 

KN: 3 months later, owners reverted to their old, lazy ways within 2 days and now are out of business. Meanwhile, chef gets back on private jet to London to visit his Michelin starred restaurants. Owners still tell anyone who will listen that Ramsay is an idiot. 

FF: 3 months later, seller starts new forum thread that says "I cannot Mek Sells, since 3 months please guide me."
