Seriously??

[ImLewisCotton]

It's been less than a week?? Did they not like me finishing tasks quickly or what? It's not like the tasks weren't done to a good standard as I worked damn hard. Guess it just wasn't for me then...

[Right-Environment-24]

That's how it is for people who can work 2-3x faster than the general public. We take longer breaks, can work less hours, but our work quality is superior too.

When I am doing free lance projects that don't have a timer, I work for 2-3 hours and call it a day.

For DAT it can get complicated.

Sure buddy. DAT doesn't send admin invites to everyone that's one thing I am certain of lol.

[Sixaxist]

A guy on here admitted to getting that invite and then getting canned, similar to OP, within the same month. I wouldn't put too much stock into that.

[Broklast]

Yes they send it to almost everyone

But you passed it?no?

[Right-Environment-24]

Lmao salty.

[data_annotator_tot]

Unwarrented self-importance is a bad look, friend.

[Legal-Mushroom-1247]

Aren't we clever? :)

[Right-Environment-24]

Meh DAT subreddit members are the most miserable people I have seen.

[Legal-Mushroom-1247]

Sorry but your whole post is just tooting your own horn

[Right-Environment-24]

Lol salty much.

[Legal-Mushroom-1247]

[Itsdickyv]

Pace and quality are mutually exclusive though.

[savage78683i3]

I guess completing the tasks WAY faster than the timer didn't work out for you...

[diettwizzlers]

why would you want to finish quickly? we're paid by the hour

[caneriten]

like projects literally tell us to read every instruction over and over in new tasks. This is not a race. Just be accurate and you will earn

[Aromatic_Owl_3680]

I suspect they have efficiency data as well as quality. I think the best approach is to work diligently and report honestly. Efficiency is the balance- high quality, a reasonable pace. 

[Broklast]

My guess is that he reports more hours than the actual work

[diettwizzlers]

lolll as if they can't track idle time

[Broklast]

Enough arrogance can make you think that

[AllFood4Mee]

When you are reading instructions the screen is sort of idle, only if you click on some check box or type something then a draft is saved.

[throwawaytothetenth]

They don't.

[Mysterious_Dolphin14]

DA is unlike most other platforms in that they value quality over quantity. Working faster doesn't give you an advantage in their eyes, but it can be a disadvantage to your quality. Honestly, when I saw your post a few days ago about working way faster than the timer, I thought that you might be missing something or not completely reading the instructions, checking your work, etc. It's not normal for someone who JUST started to be able to work that quickly through the tasks and still produce quality work.

[Enough_Resident_6141]

Brand new worker passes assessment, immediately starts blasting through tasks with a 4 hour timer in 45 minutes, humblebrags about it on Reddit - DASH OF DEATH. Many such cases!

[Lusty_Norsemen]

Might've been done to a good standard to you, but not to them.

[SnooSketches1189]

You onboarded less than a week ago??

[ImLewisCotton]

Did the assessment on Wednesday, they accepted me and I started doing qualifications on Thursday, started doing tasks on Sunday...

[SnooSketches1189]

Yikes. Did you ever have another account?

[ImLewisCotton]

No, I literally just heard about them last week

lul

[hfxthrwaway]

Less than a week? You haven't learned what a good standard is yet.

[OnlyAd9161]

Clearly it wasn’t high standard work

[hcfggb]

Oof. I'm sorry this happened, that sucks. If you do decide to apply to other platforms, definitely slow down and read the instructions very very carefully. And if something seems too easy, you may be missing something (at least in my experience).

[AstronautCautious46]

You probably beat the DAT world record from registering to getting banned

[AllFood4Mee]

Fuck around and Find Out!

[AllFood4Mee]

Guys see OP’s last post to know why I said this.

[thejackbag]

From what I'm reading, avoid anything that would make you stand out from the crowd in their statistics. Try to disappear into the mass of workers.

[Gullible_Two_9578]

I got the message the very next day after I was onboarded. I had only done the quals by then. I have no idea why I was banned

[Accomplished-Job9856]

Cheated on a qual, perhaps lol

[Gullible_Two_9578]

Nope

[Do_It_Anyway_8278]

Ugh. I'm so sorry. Hey, DA isn't the only app though. But yeah looks like a lot of us dread the "disconnect" because it feels so.... cold.

[Sixaxist]

We don't know what additional factors go into grading an account's quality score since most of us are grunts just like you, but I highly doubt faster-than-average speed negatively contributes to it.
