What will happen to my proposal, when a client interacts and then outbid by someone with higher bids

[#1]

What will happen to my proposal, when a client interacts (e.g., it is viewed when it is in the 1st position), and is then outbid by someone who bids with higher connects?

• Will my proposal be retained in the 1st position?
• Will my proposal be dropped down based on the ranking of the number of connects?
• Or will my proposal be completely outbid and sorted with non-bidded profiles?

Any suggestions on how it works?

Let me summarize based on your specific question.

If you're removed from the top 4 positions, your proposal will go to the "usual place" (the exact words the mods used), which is a position determined by a secretive algo that could also place your proposal directly into the "other proposals" (trash) folder.

If you're removed after a client has already interacted with your proposal, they have noticed your proposal, which means boosting mission accomplished, your connects are not returned.

To be honest, I think this is pretty fair, don't you? But still, I'm not interested in joining the game. 🤑
