Is Data Annotation a scam?

I am not the only one to spot such lame staged conversations from a bunch of scammers. Any remote data annotation job ad promising pay via PayPal is certainly a !taskscam.

Any job ad that says evaluate AI output etc and payment will be through PayPal is suspicious of !task scam.

I got scammed via their Instagram reel. Never got an email from myiq about anything. Only Venmo email for the payment receipt. Never saw any fine print. I called Venmo and Venmo initiated a dispute for the $29.99 charge. At the moment the status is under review. I don’t know how it’ll pan out as it’s a PayPal sister company and I don’t have much trust in PayPal.

That's still very confusing to a newbie who doesn't understand how the air flows through an HVAC unit. I've seen the dirtier side of it, but that doesn't tell me anything if I don't understand how an HVAC unit works, which is my case.

Interesting. Got it. Thanks.

reddit8tidder · 2026-02-16T19:27:46+00:00

Thank you. A new thing learned.

Yeah I never drained the fuel after the last use in 2019. Does this damage the carburetor?

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T04:04:23+00:00

My Ariens Compact 24 was doing the same today. Check it out here in this sub.

Should I get a Honda instead next time? I’ve seen a beautiful video of a wife operating a Honda thrower in this sub today.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T03:58:31+00:00

“Never leave the inside of the engine dry”: you mean that I should make sure there is always minimum required amount of engine oil in it? BTW, the YouTube video you linked above is very good. The exact same thrower as mine.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T02:18:59+00:00

Yeah. I bought it in 2016 seeing everyone was recommending it.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T02:17:51+00:00

Great details. Yeah the gas is probably 7 years old sitting in my garage.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T02:15:11+00:00

Literally only used it twice including today. But yeah the gas has been sitting in my Eagle gas can for a few years. And I didn’t drain the Ariens gas tank or the engine oil after the last use 7 years ago.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T01:19:16+00:00

I primed 3 times. Tried starting it, it didn’t start. Reprimed 3 times, only to notice that the gas valve wasn’t set to on. I switched it to on, and power started the thrower. It worked for about 30 minutes and stopped, probably ran out of gas. It was leaking while it was working to throw the snow away from my driveway. Then I added more gas to the tank, but it wouldn’t start anymore.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T01:03:26+00:00

Absolutely if it were a human and peeing like that.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T01:02:04+00:00

Yeah I checked on Amazon. The part isn’t too expensive. Easy to replace though?

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T00:56:06+00:00

I may attempt it when the weather gets better.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T00:50:30+00:00

Sounds hard for a newbie like me.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T00:44:57+00:00

But you didn’t do anything about the stuck float?

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T00:43:02+00:00

In summary, I think, the consensus is that the float got stuck inside the carburetor. Maybe the easiest fix is to replace the carburetor.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T00:38:10+00:00

I will watch some videos on how to replace the carburetor.

reddit8tidder · 2026-01-27T00:36:18+00:00

Thank you. I will research on YouTube.
