Hi everyone - I'm the head of product here at Triplebyte. We did not make any intentional change to how profile visibility functions and (to the best of my knowledge) the issue referred to in OP's support response (and mentioned in the second half of OP's post) was fixed last year. (See my comment at the top of OP's link [4] for more from then.)

We'll have a more complete answer shortly.

EDIT: This does not appear to be a widespread issue. Continuing to investigate.

Edit: it looks like I was wrong about some things. The team at Triplebyte has also answered my questions. In the interest of fairness, if you read this post, I encourage you to read their responses as well.

At this point, if you (Triplebyte) haven’t set private the profiles of everyone who didn’t explicitly consent, then you are irredeemable. You’ve had, what, two years to work this out?

I would love to understand what the goals and numbers here are, and what the revenue implications of public profiles are? It seems to me that you’re trying to build a social network of some sort with verified-skill capability.

I went to your site, and your about me page, to see what your business model was. What you stated, the mission and the copy, does not align with a public profile and social network style feature.

If you truly are trying to make hiring better, how does public profiles achieve that?

If you truly are trying to make hiring better, people on all sides of process should be benefiting. And there should be nothing to be afraid of in terms of mission.

Your /manifesto document falls short. What, exactly, is your business model? You should have no shame in it. Unless you think it’s shameful, in which case, please stop.

Like your manifesto claims, transparency is good!
