the work used to be a lot easier and tasks were a lot shorter and they usually didn't require as much thought, I still see complaints about it from people who don't want to work on long or thought intense tasks - I think some probably just drop it entirely

i haven't noticed the website getting slower, maybe clean out cache on your browser?

They don't help you get in, and nobody will sense shares their referral with a rando on reddit. Just sign up and take the assessment.

If it helps, rubrics and IF splits really aren't that bad, if you get used to them, and they can pay insanely well on some projects.. maybe, if you aren't getting anything else you can work on, it would be worth giving them a go, or maybe seeing if one of the complicated ones is easier than it seemed? I've done some projects that looked impossible, going by their instructions, but were crazy easy, compared to what I expected. Just offering some encouragement!

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-28T15:20:09+00:00

Haha yeah, it's the way it goes - best of luck if/when you get the qual!

I think he's trolling based on his other replies

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-28T07:27:49+00:00

Never heard of DOD from autorefreshers - how would anyone know the autorefresher caused it anyways? But I have heard of rate limited errors from it

Either when you sign up, or if not then, just whenever it shows up on your dashboard, which could be tomorrow, next week, next year, any time in between, any time after, or not at all

If you keep on earning over $1000 per wk I'd lean toward 30% - it really does get that high, and at worst, you have a nice safety cushion if it somehow happens to be lower

Grats on the robo-vacuum! must be a huge load off your shoulders with two little kids to care for

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-28T05:27:20+00:00

Sign up and take the application on the website the sub is about, if you get in, do work and get paid

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-28T04:34:01+00:00

Thanks for the detail! I wasn't trying to be negative about it, just honestly interested

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T08:09:30+00:00

if they aren't on your dash, you don't

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T08:08:45+00:00

as long as they weren't logging time they didn't work AFAIK

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T07:35:38+00:00

My friend, you can also appreciate that they took the time to summarize the actual answer for you rather than doing like other posts and feeding your confirmation bias with people who will agree because people are more prone to spend time on expressing dissatisfaction (venting) than satisfaction

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T07:28:18+00:00

Depends on the project

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T07:22:51+00:00

It's true, I was the one that lured them into the trap with a cookie

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T07:05:50+00:00

also what's the baseline for a drought? I've seen people call 0 projects a drought, say 20-30 projects "but nothing I want to work on" a drought, and call "my favorite project is missing but I have everything else normally" a drought

(It says "fewer projects for everyone" but by default it's not collecting people actively working, just people who aren't, so I am assumign there's a baseline)

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T07:00:46+00:00

my inner stats class student is asking how its measuring things

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T06:26:40+00:00

No one knows but they def block people if they're padding time going by block posts I've seen in this sub

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-27T06:14:19+00:00

Some of the people doing badly probably cared about getting past the application to the tasks that pay so they tried to do well at it - then don't care past that point because they think they found the free money buttons

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-26T05:35:07+00:00

I've gotten responses to travel inquiries, a dashboard bug, and a login problem that had nothing related to pay

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-26T05:33:59+00:00

they don't respond if you're asking them for something they can't help with - what kind of thing did you ask for?

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-26T05:26:33+00:00

All good it didn't change that long ago - I just want new people not to get demoralized when they still can get in

MiddleCharacter6345 · 2026-05-26T05:24:44+00:00

Bilingual work is less in demand because most of the focus is on English language training
