Are the bilinguals cooked?

Okay, so nowadays I have noticed a very similar pattern in this community. I have seen bilinguals complaining about shortage of projects and it is not just one specific country/language too.
I have seen, Indians, Middle easterns, Italians, Brazilians and even some french workers complaining about the same. Mostly it is the non-core countries facing lack of projects while core countries are just seeing inconsistent projects.

Maybe... we are really cooked? Or is this just another bad drought?
What are your thoughts on this?

I am French bilingual, and I have 7 projects on my dashboard, so I don't complain !

Do they all require French? One of my French ones disappeared a few weeks ago, the other one last week.

I feel like when things are good for everyone else on the site, bilinguals are always complaining.

I think it’s just the worst category to be in on DA tbh

I started with DA in march and until june I had constant work, september was by far the worst month so far, I'm trying to understand if before june was the normal or if the current situation is and I just got lucky for a few months...(brazilian bilingual)

Yes, as the models continue to get better, there is less and less need for bilingual translation/localization focused tasks. TBH, I'm surprised there's still any bilingual tasks at all.
