Did Fiverr just mark Pakistani freelancers' status ‘unavailable’ over internet issues?

The Dark Side of Freelancing in Pakistan!

As I write this sitting on my not-so-comfortable couch, its harrowing that MY COUNTRY on the eve of 14th August “Independence Day” is facing trouble over internet issues.

More than 4 million freelancers are affected due this internet outage. A country that ranks 4th globally in freelancing facing internet errors is so sad.

Fiverr issued notification for Pakistani Freelancers

The people here are already dreading over basic necessities and Internet is with a doubt a basic necessity for past two decades now.

Was inflation not enough?

Was unemployment not enough?

Or the cries of people over basic necessities like Electricity, Sui Gas Shortage and Water not ENOUGH?

Now that people have managed to make their ends meet through Freelance platforms, they are deprived of optimal internet connection as well.

There is nothing more saddening for a Freelancer than to lose a client.

Imagine a country that is already advocating for PayPal for smooth transaction is now eager to have basic internet. ALAS!
