Fiverr Puts All Pakistani Profiles in Unavailable Category Amid Internet Slowdown
Fiverr, a leading global freelance marketplace, has temporarily placed all Pakistani profiles in an "Unavailable" category due to ongoing internet slowdowns in the country.
This decision comes as Pakistan experiences significant disruptions in internet connectivity, largely attributed to recent issues with the country’s submarine cables and internal infrastructure challenges.
The internet slowdown has affected millions of users across Pakistan, hampering online businesses, communication, and access to essential services. For freelancers in Pakistan, who rely heavily on platforms like Fiverr for their livelihood, this development poses a severe challenge. Many of these professionals are engaged in providing services such as graphic design, content writing, software development, and digital marketing to clients worldwide.
Fiverr’s decision to classify Pakistani profiles as "Unavailable" is likely a measure to manage client expectations and maintain service quality during this period of unreliable internet connectivity. By doing so, Fiverr ensures that clients are aware of potential delays or interruptions when working with Pakistani freelancers.
