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.

Is this about public profile visibility (i.e. visible on the public internet) or visibility to recruiters using triplebyte for hiring?

We don't currently have any concept of public profiles open to the internet as a whole, so (at most) we're talking about visibility to recruiters on our platform. (In this case, it turns out that OP had in fact enabled visibility in the past - see the response from our CEO at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31771836)

You can get a shareable link to share on e.g. your personal website if you want to, but you have to manually enable it.
