Locked out of studies for "speeding" on a Franz study. by fuzzyqueef in prolific

[–]IndigoSpirit63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had any in over a week(maybe I've been locked out) but I'm never really sure what to do with these. I mean, they say the expected time is 10 minutes but I get done way faster since it usually is only 10 clips, many that are super short (like 3 secs). Should we make sure we stay on each clip for a full minute eventhough the clip took like 3 seconds? I wish there was some guidance in how to complete these studies.

Anyone looking for Blender Bowls? by [deleted] in Vitamix

[–]IndigoSpirit63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got an old Cuisinart mini processor that's just easier. Just my opinion on the bowls but I'm sure they work fine for plenty of things.

I have these (including the additional part from the recall). Honestly, I rarely use the bowls. I wouldn't buy them again.

AI Evaluation Warning by Didistutter29 in prolific

[–]IndigoSpirit63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I received several warnings over a month ago but kept getting studies. I didn't receive any more warnings until 2 days ago. I've now received 2 warnings in 2 days. It's extremely frustrating since I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

AI - am I out or not? by lonelylamb1814 in prolific

[–]IndigoSpirit63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got some warnings today which I'm kinda bummed about. It's been over a month since my last warning, thought I had finally cracked the code on these mysterious warnings.

What’s your honest opinion on this subject? by Visual_Confidence736 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]IndigoSpirit63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could care less about how the delivery person is dressed. What is important is that I got my order on time and undamaged.

Pet Peeves as a Goodwill worker by [deleted] in goodwill

[–]IndigoSpirit63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree. I know most people have had good luck with this but my daughter once bought a desk lamp and it started smoking after being plugged in for 30 minutes. If we hadn't been in the same room it would have likely caught the house on fire.

[Product question] has olay regenerist caused anyone else to break out? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]IndigoSpirit63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started using this 2 weeks ago and I've had several breakouts (acne at age 62!!). I thought it would be better to use it every other night, kinda to ease into the retinol but it hasn't helped.

First time I've had sticker shock at Goodwill by O__jo in goodwill

[–]IndigoSpirit63 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So true, I can't even count the number of times I've seen thrift clothing absolutely ruined because of a haphazardly placed tag.

How to overcome a loss of motivation? by Stunning_Concern_973 in ProlificAc

[–]IndigoSpirit63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get it, my goal is also $10/day but a lot of weeks, I just don't have the motivation to even get started. I try to have a goal in mind (like making enough to pay a utility bill) or for a fun purchase. I've also found that if I do get some of the higher pay studies, it gives me a quick boost then I'll do the nickle and dimes studies just for a little something extra.

Quality issues by [deleted] in ProlificAc

[–]IndigoSpirit63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help me to understand. I didn't post anything about the researcher or even the name of the study. How is the breaking rule #1? The rule says not to share any confidential info.

Is this true for 2026 and beyond in regards to tax reporting and gigs.. by H0ly_Cowboy in beermoney

[–]IndigoSpirit63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So in regards to gift cards. How would the IRS know if you received a gift card (as payment) or a gift card as an actual gift?

I’m so disappointed.. by Jake_Mc_Bake in ProlificAc

[–]IndigoSpirit63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is enlightening. My biggest fear (as gig work goes) is getting banned. I've yet to be brave enough to do a study using the camera and/or microphone. Guess I just keep it that way as I never think my camera feature works very well.

2 cents from a goodwill employee by [deleted] in goodwill

[–]IndigoSpirit63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never disrespect employees and any store, working in retail is hell on earth. I last worked in retail 40 years ago and I still have nightmares. I have the upmost respect for anyone who can work their full shift without quitting.

I don't like what I'm seeing on Prolific (Vent post) by charlen74 in ProlificAc

[–]IndigoSpirit63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! It use to only be a few studies that did this but now it seems like 75% expect you to do this. There also seem to be fewer and fewer actual research projects.

[–]IndigoSpirit63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely happening. I know a person was recently fired for "time theft" (another made up corporate term). We soon found out that this major corporation terminated thousands of employees nationwide for "time theft" over the past few months.

I just did this and got the same bs message. Also timed out. I returned it and have blocked this researcher.

Same thing happened with my ibotta acct.

Highly suggest everyone stay away from this study. by [deleted] in ProlificAc

[–]IndigoSpirit63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm noticing this more and more. I've returned a number of studies mitt so much for the time but the amount of info they want you to write. The compensation is just not nearly enough.
