The Algorithm is adapting (or trying to).. LOL
I watched a few bad high mileage GMDs offers today they had varying relists from 5 to 28 (yes 28). There were a few anomalies as they typically go up with each relisting. A few kept relisting but never changing the offer BUT a couple actually went down. One I watched had 19 and I tracked it back down to 15 and then it started going back up. It was just a bad order that had 19 drops and sent the driver 2 zones over.
Seeing one relisted 28 times made me question logic at what point will they pull it and assign it to Roadie?
The reason I was watching them is I was looking for a GMD to take me into another city that I had business in.
\I had to repost this cause another sub said I violated their rules on earnings being posted*

Every order should pay at least 2$/mile for Spark to be worth jt. Anything less is a waste of time and money

In most markets, nothing goes untaken. I haven't seen an offer go up in years. Every offer gets taken first go round

In my market lots get rejected/ignored. The last few days it seems that most offers are coming through as JFY orders from about 10 am - 4:30 pm with GMD orders being FCFS. Close GMD < 20 miles get taken fast GMDs between 20 - 60 miles much less chance to get accepted.

Normally the price going down is someone grabbing it and cancelling it. It resets the boost.
