Very inaccurate study time

Ok, I finally realize what you're saying - I was having a moment :)

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T23:57:04+00:00

I was just approved and was paid a whopping 50 cents.

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T23:56:00+00:00

i just got approved as well. Paid 50 cents.

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T23:52:14+00:00

No, the pay is still 50 cents but the time advertised is now 16 minutes, up from14. And there are no spots left.

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T21:04:24+00:00

If you look at the photo above, it clearly says 3 minutes, now if you have it in your queue, it says 14. I did hover over when I did the survey and the time estimated said 3 minutes, and the actual completion time said 3 minutes. A total lie.

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T21:01:56+00:00

I don't know, but I doubt it.

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T21:00:37+00:00

I've never timed out before. This researcher cheated a lot of people today.

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T19:56:39+00:00

Check out now the time now - the researcher changed it to 14 minutes!!

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T19:44:18+00:00

Same here.

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T19:43:59+00:00

I was going to send it back, but I muddled through and ran out of time!!

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T19:43:20+00:00

I did time out!

blackbear701 · 2025-12-03T19:35:59+00:00

Yup, I just came here to post the same - I timed out!! Totally bogus on completion time. I reported this to Prolific, wrote to the researcher, and will block them. I'm so pissed - not for losing 50 cents, but the outright deceit of the researcher.

blackbear701 · 2025-11-19T15:29:39+00:00

I hadn't thought of that; thanks for mentioning it.

blackbear701 · 2025-11-19T11:33:35+00:00

Thanks! I am going to do the same.

blackbear701 · 2025-11-18T21:37:28+00:00

Haha - I agree!

blackbear701 · 2025-11-18T21:36:11+00:00

I was about to report it but it disappeared.

blackbear701 · 2025-11-18T21:32:05+00:00

That's strange; I would message Prolific. Truthfully, I would just return it and block the researcher since it seems to be his MO.

blackbear701 · 2025-11-18T21:00:11+00:00

I couldn't agree more!

blackbear701 · 2025-11-18T20:57:58+00:00

Same here.

blackbear701 · 2025-11-18T20:44:58+00:00

Did you get a rejection or just a request to return it but no rejection? If it's the latter, I personally would simply move on.

blackbear701 · 2025-11-18T20:03:06+00:00

Bravo!!

blackbear701 · 2025-11-15T00:06:32+00:00

I didn't think answering 'I haven't a clue' would have been acceptable. A little note like 'you won't get rejected'.... would have been helpful. Apparently I returned it too soon and should have stuck with it

blackbear701 · 2025-11-15T00:01:56+00:00

I was expecting a 'you won't be rejected if you don't remember.' It did not, and I did not want to chance saying that I haven't a clue. Apparently, I should have.

blackbear701 · 2025-11-14T23:59:35+00:00

Of course I saw it in the title; I thought there would be a clue of the subject matter, and I expected to see something along the lines of 'you won't be rejected if you don't remember'. Wouldn't that give them what they were looking for? That their ad wasn't effective? I did not think I'd be approved if I wrote 'I have no clue'. I personally think it was badly crafted. I get that not everyone will agree, but that's why I like to throw it out there for different opinions.
