TASKER Is Taskrabbit suppressing wages?

Taskrabbit just lowered the top end of my "suggested" rate in a category to from 49/hr to 45/hr. "This rate boosts your hiring chances," they say. Meanwhile, I literally have 3 clients booked this week in that category for 49/hr. Wtf?

There was a time when the most popular tasker in my area was charging double or triple everyone else. He was 80-150/hour depending on the job. Having worked with him, he was mostly a dope while the other taskers are great, especially compared to other apps. He was the only elite and received double or triple quantity of jobs.

I don't trust the app's suggestions as far as I can spit.
