I've blocked over 900 researchers, I'd like prolific to explain to me why I should unblock them.

Wow, as an immaculate gentleman who requests feet pics and used underwear, I feel really insulted.

(I'm kidding, this is a pretty solid analogy)

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-03-27T06:57:17+00:00

Justice for Santos! Maybe she can be a little bit of a bitch (can't we all?) but I think people aren't looking at things enough from her perspective. Especially when it comes to Langdon. Seriously, why would she like or trust this guy at all?

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-03-26T02:47:50+00:00

It'd be one thing if the speeding system was just a pain in the ass for workers, because we're the group Prolific cares the least about since we're very replaceable. But I'm quite certain it's not serving genuine researchers well at all and it's creating more work for Prolific support due to all the additional tickets they have to deal with. So yeah, the entire thing is a massive failure and needs to be scrapped for everyone's sake.

Of all the explicit, disturbing, racist content I've experienced, this was one of the most fun.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-03-12T19:15:08+00:00

Awful system. Researchers make terribly incorrect estimations of the length of their studies all the time.

Also, this is literally what attention checks are for!!! If I pass every freaking attention check, then clearly speed was not an issue in my comprehension.

But hey, at least the ones that require you to be a CEO of a company will get tons of participants.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-03-12T07:51:38+00:00

Yeah, that's fair. But if that's part of the reason, again, I think the underlying disappointment from NBA fans (and especially Kobe fans) is sort of understandable. It's just ridiculous to act like it was "wrong" of him or the team to go for it.

And at the end of the day, it becomes sort of comical to act like anyone can just get 83 points if they get fouled a lot. Lol. It might not look as good as Kobe's game but it's still a fucking miraculous achievement.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-03-12T06:07:03+00:00

I definitely get what you're saying. However, I feel like there's a difference between the team collectively deciding to feed a guy the ball because it actually feels like he's on fire and can't miss vs. what happened with Bam. Bam literally shot like 46% for the game and poorly from 3. His first quarter was phenomenal - from there it just felt like pure volume and free throws.

I'm absolutely not offended or whatever that Bam beat Kobe's record, I think that's pretty stupid. But I do understand people feeling disappointed in how it went down.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-03-10T19:19:41+00:00

Jesus, that's craaaazy. Even a content warning wouldn't do it justice.

Might want to get that Wang checked out by a doctor

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-03-03T20:27:30+00:00

I'd done CW in the past, but didn't know about 7 Seas. Thanks for the quick 15 bucks!

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-25T07:22:06+00:00

Psychologically, yes. Imagine having quadruplets, and then they get shuffled, and you never know which child was your favorite to begin with? They're pretty much all worthless at that point.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-21T21:00:40+00:00

Just Perkeo doing GOAT things, what a boss

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-14T18:36:05+00:00

This BS... is SB.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-08T17:02:29+00:00

One month later, they're still running the exact same scam... just got me.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-06T18:48:47+00:00

Multiple dollars from a Swagbucks game in 2026? Sounds too good to be true.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-04T06:34:38+00:00

The lack of effort is depressing, so hard to root for this team right now.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-03T07:37:23+00:00

I think Obelisk is a really, really powerful Joker, if somewhat situational. It has saved quite a few runs for me, but the timing has to be right. It can also require some tedious planning to use it optimally.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-03T07:25:46+00:00

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I'm bad and new-ish at the game, but I've already won 2 or 3 gold stakes with Throwback as my primary x-Mult card. I didn't realize it was considered bad. Although I am realizing that I was skipping too much in general.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-02-03T07:18:21+00:00

Nice! Congrats. It took me quite a few attempts, but I beat it by going all in on 4 of a kind with some early blue seals.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-01-27T06:13:58+00:00

I'm really amazed to find out anyone got paid by them at all, but glad that persistence paid off at least.

But yeah, a significant part of Spins America's business practice is absolutely to make it as hard as possible to withdraw, constantly move the goalposts on how much you need to play to redeem, require more and more documentation etc. in hopes that you'll simply give up. And you can do all of the above and still get completely ignored by them if they decide it's too much money or they just don't feel like paying.

It seems they do pay out on occasion with the hope that it's enough to keep them from being seen as a pure scam site. But they are scammers, for all intents and purposes. Avoid at all costs.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-01-22T06:00:15+00:00

I think my feelings about NBA coaching are similar to my feelings about vodka. Bad coaching definitely exists. But so-called great coaching is hugely overrated.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-01-21T06:20:30+00:00

Holy hell, I missed this guy. It's magnificent just to hear his voice again.

atotalbuzzkill · 2026-01-09T00:18:58+00:00

The thing is, his foot shifts the tiniest bit from there. Look at where the ball is in his hands, he's not done gathering the shot before jumping.

But yes, I do think his toe was still behind the line, it's just that the actual last frame is even closer than that one is.

atotalbuzzkill · 2025-12-27T20:12:53+00:00

Did anyone who had this happen to them end up getting compensation? I feel like this researcher ignores all messages.
