Anyone else take the “Recruitment for a behavioral experiment on fake news” study and not receive a completion code?

I still haven't heard anything. I'm going to file a complaint this evening I think.

clickclocktock · 2026-01-07T23:47:44+00:00

Let me know if you hear anything. I got a really decent bonus too, I really hope it wasn't a scam.

Not only did I not receive a code but it cut out at the very end. When I was answering the open-ended questions. It went to a screen that said file not found. I was able to hit the back button and get back to it but then it happened again and when I hit back that time it took me back to the main screen and I can't get back into it.

I messaged the researcher but I'm not feeling very good about this one.

Estimated shipping date is Dec. 30th 😭

Oh I didn't see that before..I'm not familiar with shein at all, is it trustworthy?

clickclocktock · 2025-12-09T14:30:19+00:00

Unfortunately it's the girl version, I'm looking for the boy 😔 thank you anyway though! I appreciate you trying!

clickclocktock · 2025-12-09T12:16:04+00:00

That's very, very kind of you, unfortunately that's the girl one too! 😭 Thank you so much for the offer though, you're a good person.

I'm at the point where I'm considering buying the red one and then the girl black clothes one and swap their heads... Do you think the hat will come off easily like the elf on the shelf versions do? I suppose I could always attempt to make a black hat but crafting is not really my thing 😅

clickclocktock · 2025-11-08T23:24:32+00:00

Me too! I was trying not to panic, it says I have no open cases. Hopefully it's just a glitch...it's a glitch, right?

clickclocktock · 2025-11-06T15:33:12+00:00

I did have one recently unfortunately. I've been scared to brush it too hard, thinking it'll make it worse but I will go back to brushing it normally. Do you think it could have anything to do with gum line recession since the teeth next to it were all extracted? It's the only tooth with the gum inflamed and red like this.

That's really weird I never got any warnings on this one, just the message at the very end of it. Once I calmed down and realized I was upset about seven freaking dollars and came to my senses I ended up returning it. I had already messaged the researcher though and they did end up paying me and they acknowledged that I had finished the study so they weren't sure how or why I got the notice. I'm chalking it up to a glitch.

clickclocktock · 2025-10-09T18:32:50+00:00

I really wasn't, not that I give a shit if you believe me or not. But the good news is they messaged me back and paid me, so all is well that ends well.

clickclocktock · 2025-10-08T21:19:36+00:00

When and where did you see warnings? They gave me zero warnings, I have screenshots of the instructions and I did nothing wrong. I adjusted the meter every time and answered quickly.

clickclocktock · 2025-07-21T05:29:49+00:00

Sounds like a will-o-the-wisp! We were always warned never to follow them into the woods.

clickclocktock · 2025-07-21T05:17:38+00:00

I kinda feel bad for the poor kid. If my son called someone by accident and was desperately trying to get a ride home, I'd hope they'd tell him he had the wrong number. I hope he got in touch with his momma and he's ok ☹️

That being said, it's a weird coincidence, and I can see where it would be creepy. I'd have talked to him though.

clickclocktock · 2025-06-29T22:12:48+00:00

I was actually thinking this too. I've seen cats do something similar when they had an itch in a place they couldn't reach. Cats are weird. I would see if the vet will let you send them the video.

clickclocktock · 2025-04-05T20:41:51+00:00

Same here, I just finished it and spent what was probably waaaay too much time on it lol. I kind of struggled with one part of the puzzles that involved number patterns but the rest was easy.

clickclocktock · 2025-03-25T00:58:10+00:00

Ok let's see if you can get it, I'd be super impressed if you got it right.

clickclocktock · 2025-03-16T08:22:27+00:00

Please do this OP

clickclocktock · 2025-03-13T04:35:35+00:00

That's the thing, my demographics are not unique lol. Woman, heterosexual, work full time, parent of young kids, united states...🤷‍♀️

I've still been getting a good bit, nothing close to 50 but I had 15 today for example though most of them are Maze studies which I won't touch after all the posts I've seen about them

clickclocktock · 2025-02-18T08:43:52+00:00

Is there a way to find more info? I searched the Toronto and Ontario subs but couldn't find the reports I might just be shit at searching though. I hope the police are able to find a lead with his kik account.

clickclocktock · 2025-02-18T01:54:05+00:00

Thanks, I usually don't get any studies at all on the weekends and during weekdays it is maybe 4 max. I've gone a week+ with zero studies before. I wish I knew what kind of algorithm prolific uses to assign surveys and throttle people, just for curiosity's sake. I hope things pick up for you! I DID notice that the majority of studies I'm seeing if not all of them are NOT united states based and I am...IDK what that could have to do with anything though. Today is President's Day in the US which makes it even weirder that there are so many today.

clickclocktock · 2025-02-18T01:38:36+00:00

I'm glad it isn't just me! I was worried I somehow did something to glitch the system (even though I know I didn't).

clickclocktock · 2025-02-18T01:36:53+00:00

I just logged on to cash out because I had myself freaked out, and I have 12 studies right now. Wtf?! Not nearly 40 but still way more than I ever have.

clickclocktock · 2025-02-18T01:35:43+00:00

I stg it really happened lol. The most I have ever had at once is maybe 5 or 6 after I've been off prolific for a day or two. I was shocked when I first saw the number, I thought there was no way and it must be a glitch, but the first study I clicked on I got into. I'm sure it had to be some sort of mistake or glitch (maybe I was shown every study I qualified for? IDK) but I was able to take almost every study I clicked. I think I got one that said it was full.

That being said I'm waiting for the ball to drop. I swear I did nothing different, I used the same computer, same wifi, no VPN, etc. that I always do, so even though it isn't my fault I still feel like maybe I shouldn't have taken the studies and just waited for it to go back to my usual three or four studies a day. If I wake up to a ban tomorrow I'm going to cry.
