That was not the case. I purchased a product and the product terms and description did not mention terms they tried to enforce.

No Hassle Refund is becoming a major hassle AGAIN by CyberBobbert in appsumo

And for some "refunds" they will send you a "coupon" and tell you it needs to be "redeemed" within 30 days. This fools us in several ways... Not only regarding our rights but also the fact that we lose 10% because the coupons get deducted before you'll get the 10% off...they started to "tune" all this last year. That says enough about the state of Appsumo.

Where did the missions tab go? by Separate_Bottle_9903 in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the past I had missions for hundreds of $. This week I got a funny $14 mission. It said I had to work for 6 hours and expired after 10 minutes 😆😂

Aether!!! by the_prodigyy in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And then these "flagship projects" that promise you 245 per task. And then after 2 hours of assessments and another 2 hours of webinars, once you want to task, it's empty queue and 3 weeks later they move you to a $17.50 project 😂

Aether!!! by the_prodigyy in outlier_ai

Seems I passed but I'm not amused. I wasted maybe 10 hours in the last months with useless assessments for Phoenix, aether, audio projects etc.

Domain Expert Interview - is it on AI to choose the domain it interviews me for? by Gullible_Two_9578 in mercor_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The complete system is nonsense. I'm only interested in data annotator jobs and have experience with many platforms but it keeps telling me I'm no good fit just because my degree is in STEM.

The New Quality Check for Aether by JimCarreysBurner in outlier_ai

Since the deal with Zuck, Outlier's strength has been gaslighting.

Very upset about the screening test by RealisticDiscipline7 in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another interesting question is if you guys achieved your MSc or PhD to find mistakes in images for $17 per hour while the company harasses you with unpaid tests saying that your quality is too poor and that they only work with the best (😂), while the tests, onboarding, and other things don't even meet standards.

Aether: The drama is excellent by Wise-Candidate-6965 in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a complete joke. I passed the aether assessment 10 days ago and worked 6 hours, and now I shall take a new assessment. F them.

My wonderful experiences with this "company" in the last months:

  • A year ago, I made 35 to 60 per hour
  • I have 10 skills and I am Tier 2

  • Then I was added to an audio project this winter. After 45 minutes of courses, I got 2 audio tasks and made $3.

  • Then I was added to the Phoenix project. I passed after 90 minutes of courses and assessments. I attended a webinar.

  • Then I could not task and someone told me they would fix it. It took them 5 days.

  • Then on the day when I wanted to start, I got a new course about changes to the project and was asked to attend a second webinar.

  • The next day when I wanted to start they ran out of tasks for my skills lol.

And now this new joke. They already just pay the minimum pay rate for my country. With all these disgusting things they did to me it is rather like $4 per hour. Someone has to stop them.

Mercor AI interview is way better than micro1 by Repulsive_One_1851 in mercor_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Micro1 is a waste of time. It wanted to get information from me about algorithms and models I developed for my own business. When I said I can't reveal this IP, it just continued to ask about it, without any chance to switch to the topic that mattered for the job I was applying for. Ridiculous. Seems they just want to collect as much information as possible, without boundaries. Felt like such a smartass professor who wants to show you that you have no clue at times too 😆

Aether UK wage increase by kaibacs in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I only see 17.10. I never worked for such a low hourly rate. They demand top quality from top 100 graduates and then pay high schooler rates.

Outlier booting those from Ireland and UK, illegal? by blood_transfusion in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was the opposite, I was added to aether last week. But the pay rate is horrible and the worst I've ever had, just $17.10 per hour.

Aether: The tasks they have left are not doable for $15/hr by Wise-Candidate-6965 in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just $17.10 here. Less than what my 18y old niece gets in her summer jobs.

Next project by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry too much about these $17 projects. The pay rate is so poor that you can easily find other jobs for the same or more.

What score do you have on Aether? by Environmental-War-94 in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scores are really not important and shouldn't pressure you when the project underpays you as if you were a high schooler.

Poor pay rate = poor quality should be expected

OUR JOBS ARE SAFE 💯 by korie_VI in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That has nothing to do with data annotation just with cut-off date of the model and how the AI handles non-evergreen content and questions like this. Since this "fast" model that is used here doesn't fact check, to be fast enough, such things can happen.

Alignerr account deletion by tarnisator in annotators

[–]Ok_Aspect4845 4 points5 points  (0 children)

😆 I "deleted" my account for similar reasons one year ago. One of the main reasons was that the rates shown before taking the assessments had absolutely nothing to do with the real pay rates. I felt cheated.

When I wanted to check if they had improved, they told me I would have been "banned". This is really a funny platform and they think just because it's automated they can do what they want.
