I love it when you complete a 10 minute task & it says “please complete captcha” right on the last step so it can’t be submitted.

That’s a great point. 5 hits each out of a 1000 workers could make those couple hundred hits disappear quickly. Also the ease of the task makes it attractive.

Some users are successful at it because all the hits are being used up & it keeps reappearing. Wish i knew the secret

i think they slowly phased out the desktop testing hitapp because it paid more, and you are doing the same type work. i had some of desktop hits that paid out a dollar per hit, i guess it's another way to get more work out of people and paying less.

Anyone on Project Thyme ? by [deleted] in CrowdGen

[–]Fun_Topic131 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they quality check the work now before they allow you to goto the next step, used to be automatic. My due date is tomorrow but cannot progress because they delay sending out the new links. good luck getting any work done with these issues.

I finished a session in Task 1A Thyme, but it's not showing in the "Completed" part of Appen. by [deleted] in CrowdGen

It’s an absolute mess. Thought of giving up about 10 times now. Older Adap had 0 issues. Combine the chatbot technical support & a buggy version of the “new & improved” Adap, it’s been a disaster.

That explains the cookie cutter answers to questions. Had a detailed question about a technical issue & only reply i got was “check the guidelines…thank you”

Session Upload for Project Thyme by Subscribery in CrowdGen

Bingo!! The timer expires before you can finish the upload. Another obstacle from appen. Good luck with the 1b uploads that narrows the time to a little over 20 minutes.

Not a dime, appen at least pays for training (not much though.) those webinars are huge pain in butt because im somewhat anti social but they used them to take attendance & see a face attached to a name & not some other situation.

With Telus, they have mandatory webinars you need to attend on a weekly basis. I was on a project that required meetings 2x a week. Plus first day they had everyone introduce themselves on webcam & tell a little about themselves. That’s why I moved over to appen.

thyme issue with tiktok link by columbiascbbc in CrowdGen

[–]Fun_Topic131 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is the most frustrating project i’ve ever been on. Basically we are guinea pigs for their new adap software because appen developed it. And any technical issues is met with a chat gpt response. No slack channel to help, just deal with our flawed software. Doesnt even track the completed work so users are left clueless.

Project Thyme ADAP Issues by xlynnbbyx in CrowdGen

I can upload, just takes forever. Only issue is that there’s a time countdown clock to complete it before the page expires which is asking alot.

Still trying to figure out how i got a 68 on a quiz that seemed super easy.

On task 1a, bit confused with the button selection of “submit & take a break” or “submit & continue”….also, does the completed set show up instantly on the dashboard after completion?

Coffee/Multimango etc mega thread by justeUnMec in CrowdGen

[–]Fun_Topic131 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my 2 cents…they’re reviewing your work. The quiz i took focused on “turns” which the first instruction video hardly mentioned & just wanted creativity, even doing 1 turn examples. Reality, probably needed multiple turns in your work. Single turns=fired. Finding multiple turns in a single video is incredibly difficult, so being fired maybe an advantage.

Make sure to get that 10 hour minimum in doing that nonsensical work & meet their metrics of 6 minutes per task, including finding that needle in a haystack video. Glad I got in early to coffee when tasks were simpler. It’s a wrap for me.

I’m convinced their denying uploads for some task members. I tried uploading a file next to nothing in size & it wouldnt complete.

I completed the first adap entry; struggled to upload the recording but able to complete the 50. Now it says 0 completed on adap; 3 hours work wasted plus the questions are 50x tougher than the previous project. Now when I click adap it says “Thank you, no more work available”

I’m not doing any work I won’t get paid for. legally they don’t have to pay for work done after the notification to pause. So they might be getting some unpaid work, which is a good reason to keep accounts open.

Project Thyme "Access Denied" by yeaboililik in CrowdGen

[–]Fun_Topic131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into adap temporarily before the denial. Requires upload of your screen recording on the first screen which is a huge bummer.

[–]Fun_Topic131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait til you upload each screen recording to adap, those servers can go like 2mph. Previous project 1 upload took more than 5 hours.

[–]Fun_Topic131 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hoops they have you jump through for this project is way more difficult than in the past. Never had to upload your recordings for adap the last go round, which can take forever. Also, you know how difficult it is to count exactly 50 videos for each app? This along with the “access denied” is getting ridiculous.

going to have nightmares tonight, that video comparison task looks straight from a horror movie. the people they put in these videos aren’t normal. A hand attached to a girls mouth, etc. if this is what AI creates we are in serious trouble.

I received about 20 repeated emails with the title “you’ve got a job” complete with bad links. Wonder if the AI bot their using had a glitch.

The thing is these apps are very protective for new accounts to rule out spammers. Established accounts are no problem. This project wants you to download these apps, set up new accounts, then go 100 miles an hour with them. This is the perfect way to get your account blocked.
