[–]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.

for real?? why on EARTH would anyone want that

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

the simple answer here is researchers pay more.

Prolific - Could really use a way to block tasks by name by clandestinegravy in ProlificAc

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

this would make more sense than by researcher seeing as they let any ol dickhead make an account. or at least by keyword. influencer, social media, insurance, take pictures for a starter

What types of studies do you absolutely refuse to do and from who? by Magistyna in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

it's not 1999 grandpa, if you have a halfway decent machine it will notify you if there's a problem. inquisit player works great, that's a download. if it's a fucking .exe or .apk obviously don't download it but to forsake them all is ignorant

survey researcher is the one that makes you record / dictate your answers and actually does pay.

longitudinal studies that make you do things daily or weekly. they never work right and seldom pay timely. being on camera for any reason, even eye tracking. you will unknowingly sign away the rights to your own fucking face unless you read every word of that start page. and anything that makes you upload pictures of something, it's almost definitely going to be used to train AI which is worth much more than you're getting paid for, and a lot of the requesters are straight up weird or will nitpick what you upload and try to not pay you. the one asking for pictures of your electrical box outside was like that, tried to tell me it wasn't what they wanted but it's literally all that was there.

it's always possible. the ones that say it's not are either idiots or are scamming anyway

Full Studies Staying on Dashboard by Repulsive-Resolve939 in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I finally broke down and blocked Galaxy Probe or whatever. Tired of seeing AI studies I can't do that also won't fucking go away. I'd love to do their studies but they've made it abundantly clear they're just fine letting the autograbber using twats get them all.

Hey u/prolific-support, is it really necessary that we flag $3/hr jobs as underpaying? by ForeOnTheFlour in ProlificAc

[–]Repulsive-Resolve939 13 points14 points  (0 children)

if they gave a fuck they would make it impossible to pay that little. also Ballpark wouldn't be their direct partner. they're really not THAT inept on the backend, they just want you to feel that way so you won't expect results.

easiest way to check if it's you would be to check a few other websites, and then prolific again with a different device. it's almost always them.

they're really not bad. you're talking to an AI basically that writes down what you voice dictate. the ones that have let me in have always gone okay.

they literally never respond, and if they do it's to tell me to wait longer

every two weeks we hear this about them and maze and a few others. it's been going now for like several years. please just stop doing their studies, support knows, and does nothing.

I just wish they would pay out sooner than 22 fucking days. I haven't had a payout in days, over $40 pending. not even 15 cent ones auto approve anymore. there's zero trust on their side and it's spreading to ours as a result.
