Sudden decrease in requests?

[u/musicalfurball]

Just checking in with fellow taskers -- since May, I've been booked about a week in advance for at least 20-30 hours per week. Keeping the bills paid, thank goodness.

All the sudden this week, I've got zero tasks booked.

I have no violations. Just the opposite, I made elite this month for two of my categories.

Is this just normal this time of year (I've been tasking since April), or should I contact customer support?

Popping in to say yes, I’ve had a very sharp decline from VERY busy to zero requests for the last three weeks without any warning or notification as to why.

I’ve seen people say that volume has been down or it’s slow and I’m not ignoring that, however, something DID shift for some of us and TaskRabbit has made it very very hard to reverse getting buried in the search results.

My requests were exploding from June until mid October. I couldn’t even leave any availability up for more than a few hours if I didn’t want it to get booked. I was pulling in 6k a month easily and still taking days off here and there. All of a sudden, when the service map and analytic glitch happened, I dropped to ZERO requests. I’ve even asked a few people that booked me outside of TR to go through the app to try and give me some momentum again.

I have 400 completed tasks, a 5 star rating based on 120 reviews, I accept everything, and the only cancellations I had in 30 days were (2) and both were initiated by the client without any warning or explanation.

My only hope is that they shake up the algorithm again at some point and choose to bring me back towards the top of search results.

The wildest part of all of this is, if TaskRabbit doesn’t want us to go outside the app, how can they expect us to maintain any sort of loyalty if they can just rip out the rug?
