Is there spam ads on thumbtack?

I’m new to this app??

Full of shifty sh*t on thumbtack.
As a test I just put in a quote for a 2 story wash. Low balled the crap out of it at $140. Within 5 minutes the quote was viewed and passed on. I asked the lady if there was a licensed insured contractor with a lower price. She responded with yes, $90.
I’m befuddled…

I think that is the problem in some sreas that have lots of competition. My area it seems most of the leads only get 2-3 bids. Not much competition in my area which really helps

There are 5 bids in my area within 3 minutes. Even on Sunday.

I just looked at the “insights” on the app, and I was 3rd fastest, and put the bid in when there were 0 bids showing. So all 5 pros were virtually keying it in at the same time.

Yeah in situations like that I could completely see thumbtack being a total waste of time and money.
