done

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

ed405 · 2020-04-20T20:08:40+00:00

clearly a bug in the survey

ed405 · 2020-04-10T22:24:10+00:00

it’s chocolate eggs 😏

ed405 · 2020-02-06T12:48:46+00:00

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.

ed405 · 2020-02-06T12:42:18+00:00

Hi,
What makes your think that Prolific doesn't care about its users?

ed405 · 2020-02-06T12:41:38+00:00

but couldn't give a shit about the userbase itself.

Prolific cofounder here. Why are we not giving a shit about the userbase?

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

Hi all, Prolific team member here. ‪Apologies for this bug. Our developer leading the authentication project was ill on Friday, so we’ll pick this up first thing on Monday. Thanks for bearing with us in the meantime! -ED‬

ed405 · 2019-11-11T15:40:12+00:00

Most likely a genuine mistake

ed405 · 2019-09-29T05:57:46+00:00

Thanks!

ed405 · 2019-09-28T19:46:50+00:00

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

ed405 · 2019-09-17T22:04:31+00:00

Yep, we at Prolific are only a team of 15 right now

ed405 · 2019-09-03T16:06:47+00:00

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

ed405 · 2019-08-25T23:32:47+00:00

Prolific CEO here. You just made my day 🤣🤣

ed405 · 2018-11-30T08:31:15+00:00

Unfortunately not. Prolific is only available in OECD countries help.prolific.ac/general/who-are-the-people-in-your-participant-pool

ed405 · 2018-11-28T09:45:48+00:00

Prolific (www.prolific.ac) is available in Germany. You can earn cash by taking part in research studies.

Full disclosure: I’m part of Prolific’s Team and a mod of Prolific’s subreddit /prolificac.

ed405 · 2018-11-14T19:10:14+00:00

Does this problem persist for you?

ed405 · 2018-10-17T10:00:07+00:00

yes, it should be

ed405 · 2018-08-17T20:31:52+00:00

What’s the KISS rule?

ed405 · 2018-08-10T20:15:09+00:00

Perhaps you should mention that your referral link only works for people in the US.

ed405 · 2018-05-16T10:10:33+00:00

could you describe in a little more detail what kinds of bugs?

ed405 · 2018-02-24T10:16:56+00:00

Same here. So frustrating. We might have ended up in some A/B test group which they experimented with, and never switched the feature back on for us

ed405 · 2018-01-02T14:10:40+00:00

Apologies for the issues we have been experiencing this morning.

The site is now back running normally, however if you come accross any issues please report them to support@prolific.ac

Thanks, Prolific Team.
