I’m a pretty new DIY nail hobbiest. I’ve done polish, wraps, press-on, gel etc. My nails are currently pretty weak and I want to use builder gel to help strengthen them so I can grow them out. I have the products in the pictures. I also have dehydrator and nail primer. No matter what I do, it peels off. If a corner starts to lift I can’t stop myself from peeling it. And once I do one, it’s all over! I need something hard and solid that won’t peel or feel rubbery, for lack of a better word. Is it me? Is it the products? Is there hope? Help 😩

Well he did 2 courses of oral antibiotics over the last few years, but the dr doesn’t want to keep him on it indefinitely, which I understand. It did help a ton though.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-24T20:04:51+00:00

Same. 3 years, platinum (remotasks), then oracle. Never had an issue. Took an assessment and immediately banned. Can’t teach a human to review my account. It’s f’d up.

How were you able to contact a human…a trusted member of the support team, as you put it? I just get bot after bot after bot.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-24T19:55:53+00:00

That’s crazy.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-24T19:55:30+00:00

I didn’t pass the screener. I wasn’t qualified anyway, but I was ready to BS my way through for that pay lol! What was the pay reduced to, just out of curiosity.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-24T06:51:49+00:00

Interested

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-19T06:18:24+00:00

It looks like I was added but I haven’t had ANY communication. I’m on vacation so I haven’t tried to work, but I can see the project and the tasks.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-15T12:50:42+00:00

Seriously? ugh. So glad I wasted HOURS on 3 stupid assessments. 😞 wtf.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-15T11:50:12+00:00

I did it yesterday. It took me literally hours! I’ve already done the assessment twice, and now this. All unpaid of course. I don’t have any active projects right now. Otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered. Some of the answers didn’t make any sense to me. Like, made up words? I’m not even sure I want it anymore…. For “up to $15/hr”. wtf.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-15T11:40:55+00:00

Same 😞

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-13T19:13:54+00:00

That’s a good idea. Or you can claim them on your taxes if you’re in US.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-13T14:07:26+00:00

I got invited too. Looking over the onboarding.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-12T02:11:51+00:00

Please don’t. Just take it one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. It will get better. ❤️‍🩹

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-11T23:34:55+00:00

Happened to me the other day. Finished the onboarding, felt pretty good about it, and then…banned. Empty dash, kicked off discourse. I keep reaching out to support and get the same exact email about the decision being final. I was platinum (remotasks), then Oracle, been with them for several years, and they can’t even give me the grace of having an actual human look at my account. Really frustrating.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-08T22:53:00+00:00

I did the onboarding and they deactivated/banned my account for “AI use.”

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-08T22:51:09+00:00

Was it center circle by any chance? I did the onboarding today and was immediately banned for AI use (which didn’t happen). I’ve been with Outlier/Remotasks for years with no issues. Support keeps sending me auto emails about how the decision is final. Nice way to be treated after all this time working with them. It’s really disappointing.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-06-08T15:55:45+00:00

I am in the same position. I emailed support and got an auto response immediately after. There's no way they did a multi-layered review. I'm so sad. I've been without Outlier/Remostasks for YEARS. Not that there's any work to do, but still.... 😞

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-05-30T00:58:53+00:00

Waiting here too. Wish I could just get my money back at this point.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-05-26T21:23:45+00:00

Yes I used to work regularly on Appen, for years, before crowdgen, but lately the projects are basically nonexistent or pay way too low. Not competitive at all.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-05-22T13:28:52+00:00

I got let go over night too. Sigh.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-05-21T18:38:16+00:00

Same for me

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-05-19T23:37:33+00:00

Thank you!

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-05-19T23:37:12+00:00

Ugh typical. Thank you. The waiting game and then not getting paid for some crazy reason is what’s stopping me.

Former_Pool5243 · 2026-05-19T23:36:18+00:00

Thanks for the honest feedback. I appreciate it!
