Are Gumtree using restrictive software against users?

Users who are 'flagged up' in some way?

Gumtree advisors admitted I had been flagged up,
And that this changes the service Gumtree gives.

I notice that my stats,
For an advert in what SHOULD one of the busiest sections of Gumtree Brighton,
In a city with 300,000 people,
Shows a mere 101 people on LISTING VIEW in 8 days.

12 people a day, for
Miscellaneous Goods/Hobbies, Interests, & Collectibles.

If this Listing View statistic is true,
Gumtree is in serious trouble,
Because it is £20 worth of effort in,
For £1 worth of result ( if one is lucky).

If not even FREE adverts are worth the effort,
The Gumtree game is not worth the candle.

The suspicion is,
That Gumtree are restricting access by Users to my adverts,
And internally manipulating their process,
Because I find it hard to believe
That a mere 12 people a day visit that listing.

If Gumtree do not want me as a User,
Then I would appreciate the honesty of simply saying so.

Because if internal software is intended to grind me down,
To the point where I abandon Gumtree,
That's evil.

And the advert input page is a clunky nightmare,
Badly positioned,
And with silly time-wasting.

Why is the cursor not already positioned in the Post Code Box?

Why is ENTER not available, meaning one must move to the mouse?

Why is my Post Code not stored, saving typing it at all?

If 1 million people unnecessarily lose 2 seconds of time,
That is a waste of 555 hours.
