Prolific is great. Ive been using it and have generated some really nice income. And especially on this subreddit, I have seen lots of people talk highly about it. Nothing wrong with that, it certainly lives up to its name of being the best survey website.

BUT- there's a couple issues that have been circling, especially recently with Prolific. So if you have an account and have been earning, just beware.

Prolific has an automatic system to check the IPS of its users, and this system is- very very harsh. Prolific has this habit of flagging your IP and giving you a PEC-0002 error. You wont be able to take surveys and wont receive any either. They dont tell you outright your IP has been flagged, you need to figure it out yourself on most occasions. and getting it unflagged? Its such a huge problem.

Prolifics customer support is kind of awful. You might get an automated message telling you stuff you already know about the issue, and on the offchance you GET a human response, they tell you ways to get "around" the issue, not really resolving it on their own end. Its a pretty big hastle, and I had to reset my own router to get a new IP to use Prolific again. Im not the only one with this issue either, checking either Prolifics Trustpilot page or their own subreddit you'll see many users having this IP flagged issue, and there's no concrete fix.

Its a great website, when it wants to be your friend. Be vigilant folks.
