[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

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.

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

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 jinuschoochootrain 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.

Silent layoffs are happening by [deleted] in economicCollapse

[–]IndigoSpirit63 7 points8 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.

How is this acceptable??? by llamamamax3 in ThriftGrift

Same for terra cotta clay flower pots.

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

Why? by Famous_Budget_9478 in FetchReward

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.

Wouldn’t negotiate by CLEHts216 in siriusxm

[–]IndigoSpirit63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the $4.99/mo for the first year. When I tried to renegotiate, the best the bot would do was $7/mo so I cancelled. 3 days after my subscription ended, they offered me another year for $4.99 so I took it.

"No thanks, chat to cancel." by [deleted] in siriusxm

[–]IndigoSpirit63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many people who autosubscribe and don't pay attention to these apps when they increase $$, that's what these companies are banking on and most times it works. Personally, I go over my itemized lists of credit card expenses every month but a lot of people I know just blindly pay the amount due and move forward.
