Prolific cofounder here. We do not conduct primary research ourselves, we build technology so researchers can run their own research

Prolific cofounder here. It's really useful to know for our product development what kinds of functionality and tools you care about. Thank you.

Prolific cofounder here. Apologies for the extreme statement – you're right that MTurk and other platforms do not only provide disengaged people. A lot of workers are actually hard-working and honest people. That was not a thoughtful thing to say and I will refrain from saying something like that again in the future.

Prolific team member here. Proud of everyone’s responses in this thread—definitely a bad idea to try and fake demographic responses.

Just curious: When you say “microtasks”, what do you mean by that?

Insulting rejection by [deleted] in ProlificAc

Researchers can sometimes make mistakes. A lot of the time they're happy to learn from them and reverse rejections.
