Avoid Bulk reduces connections?

I recently switched from cargo to “avoid bulk”. Ever since, none of my flights are appearing as eligible connections in the Scheduling section and my overall transfer statistics have also reduced drastically. Would this be a consequence of changing to “Avoid bulk”?

I can imagine this could be because only if another airline is also on “avoid bulk” can the connection be possible? Or because they are containers, they would go only point to point and not transfer through as it would take more time to open them up and redistribute?

What is the most commonly used method? No cargo or avoid bulk or everything on?
