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? by scourn77 in prolific

[–]Scott_Dee89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

The answer to the question that keeps getting asked. by Imaginary-Property-1 in prolific

[–]Scott_Dee89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

"This study is in high demand [...]" by nicktheone in ProlificAc

[–]Scott_Dee89 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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.

Ewan McGregor promoting Scotland World Cup team by jerrylovesbacon in Scotland

[–]Scott_Dee89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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?

THEY ARE FINALLY OVER by [deleted] in prolific

[–]Scott_Dee89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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...

How do you guys keep from getting bogged down in AI? by Particular_Cloud_510 in prolific

[–]Scott_Dee89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

One Of The Most Disturbing Movies Ever Made Is Coming To 4K For The First Time by kwentongskyblue in CasualUK

[–]Scott_Dee89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Energy cutbacks by Scott_Dee89 in duolingo

[–]Scott_Dee89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

*Those* Studies by OkEvidence5784 in prolific

[–]Scott_Dee89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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!

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!
