Some sellers offer it as an upsell.

Just sell and label it as "AI content writing"? Why would anyone buy that at $5 or $10 when they can get a rytr or content.ai subscription at $39 month with unlimited/a lot of words?
And how long did it take for you to start earning? When did you join Fiverr? You give an impression that people will immediately start earning well on Fiverr if they get a good niche.
May i ask, how many reviews do you have?

Because we don't have time. Have you not checked out the marketplace threads offering such? They're bombarded with clients who just want to buy content.
Why do people buy houses when they could just buy wood and concrete for 10% of the price and assemble it themselves?

It's not 2011 anymore. With everybody and his mother on Fiverr, don't rely mainly on the site to rank your gigs on its platform. You have to bring real traffic to your gig pages, not hope faux reviews will make Fiverr help you out. Create a blog to promote your gigs, with each blog post preselling a different gig page. Send traffic (via SEO, guest posts, social media, You Tube, etc) to your pre-sell blog, to build traffic and reach for your gig activities. Few people are doing this, so take advantage of their laziness to get around the competition.

Sure, but I think people aren't doing that because Fiverr charges a ridiculous amount of fees nowadays.
If a writer has customers coming in from SEO/SMM, then they might as well charge them directly and make a lot more money.

It depends on the service you're offering.
For example, banners.
If you're just going to offer off-the-shelf, generic banners that are widely available on that platform, you're going to struggle for a long time.
Also, it's a race to the bottom.
Can you imagine being based in the United States and looking to produce banners for 100 bucks a pop and somebody from the Philippines or Bangladesh with the same skills as you bang them out for five dollars apiece?
Do you see the problem here?
My suggestion is to stop asking if Fiverr is over-saturated.
Instead, focus on what sub-niche you can get into so you can specialize and get paid what you deserve.
For example, you know how to create banners, and that's all well and good.
But everybody and their dog knows how to do banners as well.
So what you do is look for niches that would pay extra but use the same skillset.
For example, you can find fashion bloggers who need certain graphic headers, which are basically glorified banners.
If you specialize in that with a certain color scheme or style covering a wide range of moods and emotions and other "psychological signals," you can sell your work for more.
This is especially true if you give freebies to many fashion bloggers and they keep using your service and pay for it.
Their brand credibility starts rubbing off on you so you can tell people on your ad that you've been mentioned in the top blogs in your niche.
So upcoming bloggers in that niche would use you because you've done work for websites that they want to beat.
Do you see how this works?
A little bit of specialization goes a long way.
Instead of wasting time and engaging in unnecessary negative or self-defeating emotions by asking whether Fiverr is saturated, focus on making yourself stand out, your value shine, and distinguishing yourself.
You have to make sure that you're specialized enough in perceived value to get paid what you deserve.
Those are the things you should be focusing on and working on.
