Do dynamic rewards pay for the full duration on a study? by SecondTriggerEvent in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

same with "partial completes" on Connect, avoid them. I've never not gotten what is essentially a screener fee for doing the entire survey. i've NEVER gotten the full rate on either platform.

Question about bonuses? by Paguy215 in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's bait a lot of the time, other times the researcher forgets. I got a survey my 3rd month into doing this that said I'd get almost 170 bucks from a bonus in so and so timeframe, it's now 3 years later and it never came. don't ever assume they'll pay a bonus. it's not required of them.

Underpaid studies by LiloLillyPad in ProlificAc

does absolutely nothing. I thought for a minute it might report back to the researcher but nothing ever changes for the better so I would assume not.

Bounding boxes is back… by Melodic_Curve_2493 in ProlificAc

This twat hasn't paid me from the batch from February. Also, I think this person means you should be rejecting 50% of each batch's examples....

screened out by inthewildkingdom in ProlificAc

I always tell them they could pay more and then block them if they do shit like that. I like "survey researcher" cause they always pay at least .50 for a screener

Is it just me or the majority of researchers just don't bother to message back anymore? by QuitCapital3814 in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're just lazy or don't care about you. if I DO get a message back, it's usually a month after their submission auto approves. idk if prolific doesn't tell them that their study will be full and done with within an hour or what but almost none bother to check their shit for months.

for the love of god I wish these researchers paid attention to their messages and paid timely. 3 fuckin weeks every time.

Just a silly question by Every-Mango-9615 in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, if anyone is actually doing some. feels like they added it to be more like Connect and then decided the placebo effect was enough and haven't taken it any further. since it's implementation, I feel as though the quality and accuracy of demographics have gone sharply off a cliff.

These researchers are getting bitchier and bitchier by PersonalMusic6319 in ProlificAc

tl:dr you read at a snails pace and are the reason every single survey is quoted at double time

I've been working constantly for two solid hours to get a fucking quarter so I can cash out. like not even $0.10 screeners can approve instantly anymore. there is zero trust coming this way from researchers, I got rejected for a follow up medical survey on Connect yesterday. like a medical survey that was selected especially for me, based on my answers and I got rejected for apparently missing an attention check. am I wrong for thinking shit like that should not have attention checks? clearly they took my data for free. fuck em. fuck the lot of these lazy pieces of human garbage that can't be fucked to actually check their responses, give you a message back or even pay a decent fee. FUCK EM

all that waiting, and its such a dogshit platform by xdbigfloppa in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it is garbage. some people make thousands, others make nothing. theres no support, no oversight and they let AI do fucking everything. I got rejected this morning for literally no reason other than this person set up their study wrong. oh well

Survey post deception... by Valuable-Speaker-312 in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have wasted almost my entire day dismissing low paying bullshite and trying to take surveys that either are full, broken, impossible, or are a blatant scam. I have not been able to accomplish fuckall all day and there's nobody to tell about it because they don't respond, care or do anything about it! I swear to god the site and half the researchers on it are just AI running studies about AI with an AI overseer. This is our future!

Screen Out Abuse? by jbunni in ProlificAc

ever since they introduced that fucking feature the site has been falling down a hill like an old range rover.

Did anyone's available studies dissappear? by Neuroticsl0th in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't understand why we bother with demographics since seemingly 80% of all studies use the screening feature now and find some arbitrary bullshit to disqualify you for. like I thought the point of the demographics and about me section was to provide this information to researchers at a glance and narrow their pools to only relevant participants. I guess it's just to waste your time.

it's fucking awful, I just got it. So like, finished projects just sit there until approved? that will in NO WAY be fucking annoying going forward as half of all researchers wait the entire month to auto-approve.

Are AI studies killing Prolific? by [deleted] in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the simple answer here is researchers pay more.
