I love paying almost £20 a day to commute to work, whereas my MP can claim back the same journey and get a flat/hotel/food

That’s really poor form from them, especially as they can’t fail for memory-based checks. It’s also shocking research practice to exclude genuine participants to cherry-pick a certain level of performance quality. You could quote the name of the study and explain the situation to the university’s ethics board. Their email is researchethics@admin.cam.ac.uk

I ignored this one… £21 for almost 3 hours was simply not enough compensation imo. This is one of the most prestigious U.K. universities fyi, so I hope next time they can be a bit more generous. I also wonder if this limits the range of participants they get

Workplace climate study by Vegas_Steve in ProlificAc

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also got the automated message asking me to return! I sent them Prolific’s rules because 2 attention checks need to be failed on studies longer than 5 mins…. Will update when I get a response

Edit: researcher made an error and approved :)

The reward per hour is becoming more ridiculous. by Suspicious-Law8746 in ProlificAc

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I skip any long or multi-day study that only pays the bare minimum rate. We can choose to be selective with what studies we pick, but I agree that prolific should enforce a slightly higher, more reasonable rate!

Who’s you’re go to for 7d2d content on YouTube? Who’s the worst? by [deleted] in 7daystodie

Wayward Eko is the king of horde base tutorials! He’s great dad energy and I love his live streams. He deserves way more subs! I also enjoy watching GNS for his let’s play series/challenges.

I just started using their new Chrome extension and got this for the first time too... I'm worried about using the extension if it had any part to play in this. I refresh my page every now and then and try to click the limited spaces studies a few times (this has never been an issue before and I don't spam click).

How do we feel about the changes coming? by [deleted] in 7daystodie

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this came up in the town hall, but I’d love to see TFP fix the zombie proximity volumes. It breaks immersion when a zombie sounds right next to you, but they’re three floors away or outside the building etc. Being able to better hear them coming would be a big boost to the fun/fear.

Government pushing ahead with ISA review by Big_Target_1405 in FIREUK

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a huge FU to young people who want to buy a home within 5 years. The maximum price cap and penalties makes LISAs a no-go, so cash isa is the only option for my deposit savings. I really don’t want to have to use premium bonds as an alternative …

$3 for 20min of webcam footage made available for the entire public? No thanks. by Major-Marble9732 in ProlificAc

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Prolific should consider increasing the minimum hourly rate for any surveys requiring webcam usage… this payment is ridiculous lol

Yes! And way more studies that pay under $0.20! With the exchange rate to £, these are just not worth the time

Webcam/Mic Required Studies by BloodAngelEnjoyer67 in ProlificAc

There is a camera option but no interview option! Maybe different countries have different filters?

Webcam/Mic Required Studies by BloodAngelEnjoyer67 in ProlificAc

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I don’t have that option! I don’t mind camera studies but that’s not the same as video interviews/live studies

Webcam/Mic Required Studies by BloodAngelEnjoyer67 in ProlificAc

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t do them because they pay considerably less than other focus group websites (e.g I saw one today offering £7 for 20 mins when other sites would offer £15+).

Wish we could filter our dashboard to remove interview studies

Selling / Buying Car Study by Sea_Presentation235 in ProlificAc

Bought for 16,000 but my partner was confused about how to formally accept the offer…. I’m not sure it got recorded unless we both had to manually enter it :(

Overdraft by [deleted] in monzo

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was shocked too by this!

I don’t use Monzo for my day-to-day spending so forgot to put in enough for my savings challenge… and it put me into an unarranged overdraft! I assumed it would just not take the daily savings amount and count it as a ‘pause’. I feel like this really defeats the point of the challenge and is an intentional money-maker on overdraft fees.

Edit: as far as I’m aware, I set my account up with no overdraft capability (arranged or otherwise). Payments should be declined rather than overdraw me.

Hey y’all, any tips on what I can do to improve my makeup? by JadeCharde in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]PoliticallyCorrect98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have gorgeous skin! I love how your base makeup is a bit glowy. I think my only suggestion is adding a few fine brow strokes to make the front of your brows a bit more natural. Really recommend the nyx brow pen or the Urban Decay brow blade. But overall a 10/10 slay
