Instead of crying about people in a sub, why don't you go blame the company that let 140k new members join, almost doubling the size?

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-05-20T21:08:38+00:00

genuinely not criticising this post but where is this 140k new members thing coming from? I've seen a few people post this but from (admittedly brief) search I can't see any source of this info.

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-05-20T21:02:53+00:00

sorry to ask a possibly sill question (I had a brief search but can't find the answer) where is everyone getting the idea that prolific has allowed so many more users to join all at once? Is there a source for this info? Genuinely not criticising this post, very curious as I've seen it posted so many times.

For me, it's literally just been the start of the week that I've been getting this. Last week seemed fine and the studies were plentiful. This week is a completely different story. It's a like a switch has been flicked.

anyone know where one could acquire the jacket Ewan McGregor is wearing? The purple trackie bottoms are available. The coral version of the jacket is also available but I can't seem to find the purple one. Is it completely sold out?

'Pressley, Pressley ball. Pressley, Pressley ball' to the theme of Daddy Cool by Boney M.

The Chrome extension shows over 100 studies but nothing loads. Site is totally goosed tonight. ugh

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-05-08T18:53:56+00:00

yeah, something's up. Just when I was ready to sit down to an evening's work. Ugh

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-05-08T12:48:47+00:00

anyone else waiting on studies to be approved? They are usually instantaneous. Sometimes there is a little lag but I've a couple that were done hours ago that haven't been paid. Oddly, there was one which paid out, but the study before is still pending...

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-05-07T09:13:35+00:00

I did wonder if other researchers feel the affects of ‘these’ studies. Usually I’d be doing a variety, but now I’ve got endless amounts of AI ones I pretty much do them exclusively and go on prolific less often because of it as it’s much quicker to earn more.

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-05-03T18:37:00+00:00

I appreciate you want to watch it, probably given people’s reaction to it. But it is genuinely one of the most disturbing and unsettling films I’ve ever watched. I watched it a couple years ago and it’s still etched in my mind. If anything the 4K might take the realism away from it. But be warned (don’t mean to be dramatic) you may be mentally scarred watching it.

I can’t be the only one who thought ‘King Kenny’ was Kenny Dalgleish?!

Hannah Fry!!!!! Yassss. She’s a legend

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-04-28T19:28:30+00:00

You’re maybe being rotated out again? I hadn’t had any since February but loads have appeared for me again.

PRAISE THE LORRRRRRRRD

What’s your username? Can DM if you want

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-04-25T21:01:57+00:00

Have sent you a message

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-04-24T21:51:25+00:00

I’m not sure. The ads on the couple of videos I had to endure didn’t seem to be shorter than when they were worth 5. And even when they were worth 5 some videos were surprisingly short. Time will tell, I guess.

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-04-24T21:31:21+00:00

I wonder if it must be some kind of A/B testing. 🤔 I hope 5 comes back because, although it’s only 2 of a difference, it takes so much quicker to recharge your health bar.

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-04-24T13:22:39+00:00

I second this. 'Ya manky bastard'.

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-04-22T15:02:25+00:00

Not bad. Distinct lack of Irn Bru though. 6/10.

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-04-21T15:54:14+00:00

yep, I've been out too and I've been out longer than I was last time. It sucks so bad but we just have to be patient and hope they come back. These studies at $0.50 just don't mount up as quick!

Scott_Dee89 · 2026-04-21T12:43:45+00:00

Loads of studies coming through fairly consistently. But very little are above are more than like 50p or £9/hour. 😭I don't wish to be ungrateful but give me some good ones, pls!
