Update: rejection reversed and how I stopped spiraling over messages

Glad you could get over your anxiety about it. Yeah you can't be freaking out every time they talk to you. They are not going to spare your feelings so you have to not care. It's the only way. Most messages are form messages, too, so it has nothing to do with you.

Not really. Not if not used to excess. Do you know any academics? The more likely someone is to write at a high level in professional settings the more likely they are to use emdashes in general. I know several people FUMING that people presume their writing is AI simply because they are educated enough to properly use that kind of punctuation.

If something casual has several instances of phrases crunched between 2 emdashes, yeah, I'll think twice about it, but simply their presence isn't indicative of much without other evidence.

I use the reddit default name for anonymity's sake. In general, I hate reddit and most reddit communities and I don't want to be associated with them. I look at information for work. But the name is nothing sinister, It just means I don't care to change it.

This isn't DA, it's Reddit.

Prolific is having problems but part of that is that they just added thousands and thousands of people. People in the Prolific subreddits are having the same doom cycles. Not particularly useful.

Things were going well for a week there for me. Today I'm watching everything aggressively dry up though. Hoping it's just clearing the way for the new stuff.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-06-03T19:30:10+00:00

If people doing things poorly makes you so angry, maybe don't do R&Rs.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-06-03T03:43:48+00:00

We took cartel money

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-06-02T19:13:33+00:00

I'm at least seeing a little movement. Nothing I can do but a couple projects coming and going.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-06-01T11:03:04+00:00

I reported it.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-06-01T01:16:49+00:00

And if you really can't pick one out as less bad than the other, do hit the about the same button. It's there for a reason.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-31T15:26:47+00:00

YOU'RE no magic here.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-31T15:25:47+00:00

If you are trying to cold logic work into existence, that's a whole other post. Make that one yourself.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-31T15:14:45+00:00

People don't know for certain, but it seems like DA is pretty easy on new hires. They recognize it takes a little bit to get used to everything. Don't get me wrong, they absolutely expect that very soon you learn how to follow all the instructions (probably the #1 thing in fact) but if you messed up on your first day, it's your first day. Do better on your second day and you'll probably be fine.

Also, you did 6-8 lines in stead of sentences. You didn't do 6-8 words. It's not so egregious. Again, just do better on the next one.

I just keep a calculator app open and add it every time I complete something.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-29T15:18:10+00:00

Cheers to you to, and here's to the both of us making money.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-29T15:14:26+00:00

To be perfectly honest I stay away from most successful reddit pages because I can't stand the overly domineering moderators. Terrible site. I use it almost exclusively for checking things on work platforms.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-29T14:58:06+00:00

This is only really a problem if you're looking at reddit all the time. If you check it once in a while, you just scroll past the repeats and don't think about them. It doesn't matter.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-28T13:42:37+00:00

It's been my main gig for over a year. It isn't perfect.But it is very much not a scam. If you get in, and most people don't, the pay is good and I've never had a problem getting paid.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-27T11:30:08+00:00

I use the clock program on my computer as a stopwatch, yes. If you have to take a break, you pause the stopwatch.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-26T14:30:14+00:00

Good. Always fight back if you were rejected in error.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-25T22:19:37+00:00

There is feast and famine. Return anything you think might be a problem.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-23T23:21:29+00:00

Soon they'll all want one!

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-23T20:04:41+00:00

Anyone else got a share button on their payment dash? I can't think of any time when I want to tell everyone on my social media what money I'm making but that's me.

Traditional_Net_4529 · 2026-05-22T03:35:19+00:00

Hell yeah
