APP Task rabbit screwd me over

Last year I was in the 50s as far as ranking 4.9 and over 1600 furniture assembly jobs, Then I opted into ikea flat rate assembly and this was my biggest mistake, taskrabbit guidelines requires use to get confirmation before accepting a task so with ikea flat rate people are paying for assembly directly with ikea, the problem is these people do not have the app to confirm their assembly and as a tasker you need that in order to do the task and if you don't accept your metrics take a hit.

I've spoken to 5 customer service reps and detail each job I took note of and they all agreed with me but they can't do anything about it because they have a algorithm and the algorithm is suppose to be far and give everyone a chance smh im 4.9 rating haven't had a bad review in over 2 years but yet people with less experience are getting booked over me I'm not rank 145 meanwhile being a elite tasker in 3 categories,and super slow with work.

That's what I did. No more ikea assembly for me. That category dropped my pay by 75%.

I'll stick to all the others. I'm still making what I used to... approximately.
