It seems that something strange is going on
Hello everyone!
Given that it has already been explained to me how the prioritization works in inviting for speedies, however there is something that does not convince me. I believe I have great stats with 100% approval and an average of 20 minutes to do reviews so far. Furthermore, to be faster, I always keep the browser window open and instantly click on the button to accept and I think I'm in the first group of Pros who are notified in fact in the project page, this is created "seconds ago".. But from about 20 days it has become impossible to work because the same Pro always take ALL the available jobs.
The strangest part is that every single time the project is already assigned!
Project created "seconds ago"
Pro notified "seconds ago"
And is there always someone (always the same) who takes the project?
Shouldn't I at least see the page with the 30 second button?
Maybe he uses a bot? It would be useful to implement something like CAPTCHA verification ... This is too suspicious in my opinion. See for yourself in the attached screen.
I tried to explain to support but when I write to them I always get the same pre-filled response on how speedies work but I think a timing check is needed. Thank you

Something is definitely different on the platform. I gave up, trying to figure it out. I rarely see work unless I am booked anymore. I'm sure it will crank up in the new year? But yes interesting times..
I have gave up on Speedies. The algorithm that is used, and the response due to servers on my side or VoiceBunny's side it just doesn't make sense anymore. I used to land a few a week and now I don't even get invites. Had high stats, just seemed like every time the chime went off, it was already being worked by another Pro, and most of the time it showed 2 to 3 minutes already passed. And like you, it was the same client getting all the work. I raised a few concerns on here as well and to no avail. For some reason when you look at the "This Week on Bunny Studio" email, you'll see a majority by one person. It's disheartening for sure.
However the support said to me that I have to improve my stats to have better chances. But how can I improve my stats if I CAN'T work?
And look, my stats are not bad...
As someone who was averaging 20-30 jobs a month over the past 6 months I noticed I only received 3 speedys last month but I assumed this to be due to a quiet 'settling down' for December period.
However I've noticed that the website has been through a variety of changes including the search functions for pro's being non-functional in some regard (Filtering for a language + All genders under Teenage or Young Adult for example come up with an error.) Nor are clients able to access the Audio Ads booking section of the site.
Depending on how this month seems in terms of bookings I'll directly contact the staff regarding this as it's a bit of a let down to see a platform I enjoyed using competitively and company I did work for no longer be viable for me to earn a generous part of my working Salary in Voice Over.
I'd even built a pro level audio booth and noise isolation chamber as part of my career just before the years end due to the extra income from StudioBunny, so here's hoping it's a issue that's soon resolved for those of us dedicated to the platform!
Stats for reference.
I feel confident they see these post, yet no one who would be able to share what is going on, is engaging in conversation around what's actually happening with the platform. Thank you for posting it lets us know we aren't imagining the slow down.
