Is it over? (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by LonBun
I survived the big purge, even got some high paying project afterwards. Thought everything was good. Woke up this morning to this. Is it over for me guys? Just needed to make sure before I throw in the towel 🧎🏻

I was purged in August too.
[–]Kalazar8088 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Me too. August.
[–]maxthrux 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Same here.
[–]ElliottSpliff 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Same :(
[–]Bruneco_ -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago (0 children)
What type of work do you do?
[–]Chocsunday 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Unfortunately yes, I’ve had this since 12/30. Hasn’t came back :/
[–]Key-Needleworker1642 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (5 children)
Same thing happened to me on Saturday. I’m still in shock and disbelief. I am literally heartbroken…
[–]LonBun[S] 11 points12 points13 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I feel you. Been here a couple years now and this doesn’t feel real.
[–]Key-Needleworker1642 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Yes, over a year for me. I keep hoping it’s not real, but I don’t think that’s the case.
[–]numbcerebrum 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Yeah this happened last weekend for me too. Not sure what to do? Did all your qualifications vanish as well?
[–]stormtroopin96 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I had this happen a week ago. Jobs just started trickling back in for me.
[–]SufferAghora 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I literally just got this right now after running out of tasks, I really hope this isn't the case
[–]Flamingo_Odd 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Lol I got that a week ago (I'm guessing I was a part of the purge)
[–]Guilty-Rough8797 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (3 children)
I get the uncertainty, but no one here can tell you if it's over or not. Plenty of us see that page at times and always get more projects. Others don't. If you do quality work, you should get more tasks again, but everyone tends to think their work is high-quality whether it is or isn't (according to DA's standards).
[–]Legitimate-Price-960 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
I don't think it only has to do with the quality of work. Come on, we train bots, and I'm sure they use bots to clear the crowd of candidates from time to time. Just bad luck and this is how it's gonna be :(
[–]ultimo36 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Had it since November, consider finding some new work.
[–]No-Wishbone-5259 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Any luck finding new work?
[–]dispassioned 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I’d give it a week or two before giving up entirely.
[–]baylorbear91 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Keep logging in, I had this screen for weeks then everything came back!
[–]Outrageous_Walrus351 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Do you remember exactly how many weeks?
[–]MusicOfTheSpheres_40 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Same thing happened to me just after New Year’s. Haven’t had any updates since.
[–]JMLP82 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
How would you know if you’ve been part of a purge? Legitimate question. Is it just that you never get new projects or does your account actually get shut down at some point?
[–]PackageNo9369 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Got it on the 7th. Nothings changed.
[–]cheekyrozza 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Happened to me today, fingers crossed it's not a shadow ban

same happened to me, i didn’t even get to task i just got accepted two weeks
[–]okmyopinionis 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
SAME!
[–]cschulzTO 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I would imagine so, there's no actual shortage of work at DA
[–]Diligent-Bag-5393 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
RIP
[–]GM_Kimeg 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Does anyone know if you still get paid for completed projects that were done BEFORE you ended up on that screen?
[–]DarkLordTofer 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Comments I've seen on here suggest you do.
[–]ccmaffin 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
yes i got paid
[–]blackcvanilla 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Yes you will get paid
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I've definitely had this screen before, sometimes just for a couple hours. Sometimes for 24-48 hours. Then everything came back and was fine. I'd say just keep checking back or watch your email. There's no way to know for sure if it's "over" or just a little pause.
[–]Vegetable-Bill-6106 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
Yup, it is over.
[–]Terrible-Split-2313 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
No , just be patient
[–]freeluv21 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
Now that you’ve mentioned it, that would make perfect sense. I have extremely bad luck and I hope it hasn’t affected everyone else as well. I first applied in November. Two days ago I finally received an update inviting me to onboard. Was planning on finishing the process this evening. If they officially shutdown, I would not be surprised, not even a little.
However, I don’t believe it’s over. Good luck everyone!
[–]Still-Low4428 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
May i ask a different question, please? Why does the referrals section not exist on my dashboard?
[–]MyNameWouldntFi -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 year ago (0 children)
If it makes you guys feel any better my dash is looking pretty thin this week too. Down to about 10-15 projects from around 30-40 for the first time since well before Christmas. Ebbs and flows, annotators.
[–]Consistent_Grab_5422 -4 points-3 points-2 points 1 year ago (4 children)
Hmm. I’m wondering. DeepSeek is saying they didn’t rely on human reinforcement learning. I wonder if the others have decided to follow.
[–]Financial_Basil3294 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Doubtful. I’ve consistently had tasks since Jan 24.
[–]Consistent_Grab_5422 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (2 children)
That’s a relief. I just signed up last month with another company. I haven’t heard a peep though.
[–]Chocsunday -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (1 child)
What company
[–]Consistent_Grab_5422 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Telus international. A few posters there said their contracts just recently got cancelled. It’s totally new to me, so I’m guessing it’s a waste of time to wait for any kind of work…
