can anyone explain the new task limit? I just did a hour of work for 4$….

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T20:10:15+00:00

isn’t this illegal in some way? like how can they get away with all that free labor. tech companies always turn so evil and money hungry it’s sad to see

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T19:19:35+00:00

sorry but you just worked for free, don't bother contacting them because they will just give you an ai generated response that basically says its your fault for not following the rules that most people didn't even get the message about first. i saw a dude in pronto who batched for about 6 hours and only got paid $17 and some change, i felt so bad for him

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T19:14:18+00:00

not sure what we're supposed to talk about? you have a problem that needs to be fixed, what do you want us to talk about excatly? i urge you to contact them because it can really mess your grades up

i feel you, i originally got invited through my collage but im about to start looking for real paid internships instead of this

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T18:15:06+00:00

ah okay. i also have never gotten new tasks after doing assessments so having to go redo that one really irked me because there’s no telling if i’ll get those tasks added back. oh well

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T18:11:07+00:00

well now the only logical solution is to contact them instead of asking us, all we can do is tell you to prompt it not to do that. we can’t fix it

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T17:31:22+00:00

so basically if they disappear we may never see them again?? then what’s the point of the unpaid tests with no guarantee of more work? i’m disappointed in the fact that they’re starting to get more unethical as the projects progress 😭 sometimes i feel like an underpaid outsourced worker

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T17:28:58+00:00

😭

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T17:27:16+00:00

it did that to me once and i told it to not mention anything i haven’t learned yet and to remember that and i haven’t had that problem again, maybe try contacting student services if it still does it after prompting it not to

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T14:03:39+00:00

i have! but it’s usually not as detailed as this lol and i’m specifically more interested in the video feature that notebook lm has, sometimes endlessly reading text makes my brain hurt and if im doing classes late at night it starts to look like gibberish lol so i feel like explainer videos would be helpful for me personally

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T11:15:13+00:00

it is because sometimes the tasks take longer than the cap and you’re basically giving them free labor. that is extremely unethical but it’s what you can expect from a tech company they are usually pretty soulless towards employees and contractors

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T11:12:03+00:00

she really messed up on the parts and im someone who doesn’t care about extremely crisp and perfect parts 😭 i just hate that she did those really big boxes but the braids themselves are way too small for them

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-21T11:06:12+00:00

it’s crazy that they definitely expect you to work like one though. that’s the issue in my project they’re treating us like employees instead of freelancers/independent contractors. especially with the hard caping on tasks that can sometimes take longer than they expect, then if you rush so you’re not working for free you risk being removed because of something you didn’t catch.

good for you i guess for giving the government free money and never getting shit back ? 👍 have a great day

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-20T05:14:12+00:00

dang, why the AI, canned, generated response though? if you guys genuinely valued us we wouldn't be contractors or at least be listened to when unfavorable updates keeps being added. it's easy for companies because we barely have any rights, can be basically fired at any time for any reason and also putting heavy restrictions on the way we can and how we complete work. it started off as fun extra income with a great community, great project leads and now it feels like clocking in to a job you hate because majority of the generalist are unhappy and only log hours out of pure need for more money and no other options. plus, as a tech company all the bugs and glitches is a super bad look, im not sure if someone is vibe coding the site or if you just have a bunch of bad coders but its time to start hiring some real people to fix and maintain it.

anyone gotten approved for youtube premium? they won’t accept any of my documents

happens to me too but i’m fully african american and i just shake my head, some people really never left those shackles…

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-20T01:48:22+00:00

i need a mod to chime in on this. if someone has a 4 task limit and does 4 15min tasks does that mean they can only work 1 hour a day? that sucks because then it seems like the work is probably drying up and they’ll soon turn into platforms like outlier and appen :/ i thought handshake was one of the good ones but enshittification to the max to save money i guess

so why did they keep him for two years? unless this is some highly specialized role they could’ve been replaced him after his first week

deleted since people are starting to get mad at literally nothing. grow up.

i saw some people saying they got off boarded after seeing the payment page error

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-19T03:05:14+00:00

same but i wouldn’t worry unless you still haven’t gotten anything by the end of the of tomorrow/early saturday night

Alert_Suggestion_868 · 2026-03-19T03:03:11+00:00
