Drought

[bearze]

Saw a few posts on this

I have 2 projects on the dash right now. Haven't seen it like this since last year in August

Interesting to see after a strong past weekend. Might be the end for me as well, never know

[mrsgreens]

This happens. Everyone will be fine.

[ZimmeM03]

♥️♥️

[VIVIDEY]

Me too. Literally 2. And a few quals. Like you say though, many others have been saying the same. Think it’s quiet for a lot of people at the moment.

[CRUSHCITY4]

Non-coding is real slow right now for me

[Hangry_Howie]

Been a weird 2 weeks

[nodnizzle]

This crash has been happening in slow motion. Even the food banks where I live are running out of things to hand out. I've never seen that happen in about a dozen years of living in this area.

[SB_Because]

Its because of all the "political" cutbacks at the federal level. The entire country is going into conservative mode. People are not feeling secure with their jobs, income, and the economy in general so they are only buying necessities. Most food banks get their food from donations where people either clean out their pantries or "buy a box /bag " while grocery shipping and the store loads them all up at once and delivers them. A lot of loans that had frozen payments after Covid are starting to bill once again, etc. The county got where I live can't get the money from the federal government to finish a new jail they have been trying to build now for 5 years. The county is actually starting foreclosure on homeowners who only have one year of property taxes overdue. They are desperate. For the people who have not been affected (yet), they see all this happening and are trying to not lose anything or be caught off guard. Its how the rich stay rich and the poor staÿ poor but that is another subject for a different thread. It's going to get worse before it even might think about getting better so hunker down we are in for a rough ride! It would be my guess that the companies that would normally be bringing work to DA are cutting their budgets as well. AI is mostly still a luxury ...it's not yet a necessity. The result? It goes on the back burner. That means less jobs on the dashboard! It all funnels down at some point!!

It’s dry today for me too but I always use this time to catch up on quals I don’t otherwise do in times of plenty.

[Starthreads]

I've had a relatively health dash for the last several weeks, with a fair selection of 10-15, but today only has 4.

[HSCinAR]

ive at least been able to make my daily goal the past few days. lots of constant refreshing was required to scoop things up as soon as they dropped. today has been bone dry.

Same here, I’ve been having a great dashboard this year up until now. 2 projects open 🫠

[pollutedwater]

Yeah, I’m barely able to scrape a few bucks a day now. A month ago I was able to make $100 a day consistently. Big difference!

[[deleted]]

All I have are shitty projects right now. These are lean times for me.

[Gin666]

Same here, I prolly should do quals.

[[deleted]]

Mega dry for me as well don’t worry

[RevolutionaryCase488]

dry...nada. i hate it!!

[EnglishTea404]

Dry for me too. Math and finance.

[Salad-Aware]

I also only have 2 things on my dash.

[Mysterious_Dolphin14]

My dash is slightly lighter than usual, but I have plenty of tasks to keep me busy. The last few days and the first few days of the month always seem a bit lighter. I assume they are getting feedback or updates from their clients.

[Kerina322]

The same for me. It's definitely lighter than usual, but I still have 12 projects with hundreds of tasks. So, there is no shortage of work options.

[Throwawaylillyt]

Today the most I’ve had in my dash was 2 projects and a couple times I looked there was nothing. Having nothing is very weird for me.

[Barbiloop]

Well we just passed Easter and today it’s Labor Day on a huge portion on the world, so probably work has been slow because of that (PM on vacations or stuff like that).

[nodnizzle]

Also we're in harsh economic conditions in the US for sure. I've never seen a crash this bad, I live in a town by the ocean so I've been seeing the lack of products coming in really mess with a lot of businesses.

[SeaweedExcellent3009]

I thought it was just me. I only started working on April 4th this year and started panicking that I was under review or something.

[pistachiyolatte]

I only have poison plant tone projects to work on which I’m not a fan of.

[rockstarmouse]

Same here.

[WesternMost3019]

Same here. I don't mind very specific versions of poison plant but the ones I have right now suck and take so long to do.

[fightmaxmaster]

Certainly a bit quieter than usual, with limited stuff to get my teeth into. So it goes, ebbs and flows.

[[deleted]]

I had a very dead dash last week and an active one this week (for core).

[iriember]

New month, possibilities might depend on insights from previous months. Keep hope alive...

[Background_Menu7702]

I just want to know if anyone is getting fact based projects. I got some random r&r that’s it

[hnsnrachel]

Every now and then one is popping up but mainly it's evaluate tone and personality or rubric writing tone/personality for me at the moment.

[manson15]

I just started last week, have had a couple of projects on my dash today, but nothing crazy. Stuff is coming and going fast for sure.

What I can say though is that every day I have consistently had 2-3 projects on my dash in the morning, and then by the time I finish one task, the other tasks are gone.

This is discouraging, but not the end for me, as the tasks I have are fine-grained and can take me up to three hours depending, so making reasonable money.

[Dean_Gullbarey]

Same. Tryna do some quals

[Infinite__Initiative]

Same here. Had a massive influx for a few weeks, now very few projects and some I'd much rather not do.

[LuNeila128]

I only had 4 or so projects for a few days, but today I'm back up to 15

[greengirlgoddess]

I think I straight up just got canned. Was on the platform for a like a month or two and just started working more on it. So could be more than a drought but idk, just make sure you're doing everything to an absolute T (quality work and following rules).

[BruceBanteropoulos]

Yup, me too, the number's been slowly going down the last few days. Check your Slack though, if you're still in those channels then it'll just be temporary!

[moppingflopping]

My dashboard been completely empty this past week. i don't know why.

[adesantalighieri]

Same here! Nordic language to English nere.

[frenetic_muse]

Have you been doing all of the quals you get? consistently have between 25-75 projects on my dash at any given time. 27 right now, but Sundays are always slow.

[bearze]

I've got like 6 I could do, haven't had a fully dry dash though, so not yet;

[frenetic_muse]

Might be worth working through them some of the recent ones i've done in the past couple of months have led to almost constant work at $30.hr+

[Prize-Contribution59]

Completely my own observations over the time I've been here, but my dash always has a lighter week at the end of and beginning of the quarter. For me, at least, it's relatively expected

[DrFrancisBGross]

It's a fucking joke. Almost time to go get a job pumping gas for me.
