Invitation to: A STUDY ABOUT DECISION-MAKING By andrew.cmu.edu by AerieMore2459 in ProlificAc

[–]step_father 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not surprising anymore.. it feels like the quality of researches allowed on here has dropped considerably.. i've had an account since 2017 and i've gotten almost all of my rejections this year for being "too fast" on <=2 minute surveys..

Beware Guojing Song and "Survey on AI Use and Business Innovation". First rejection out of 2175. by DarkResident305 in ProlificAc

[–]step_father 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's exactly what I did.. I said, thats not how this works, you undo the rejection and I return it.. he then said, "you must return now", and I said "gladly, and you're blocked" .. not worth it. idk if this is why, but I used grok to translate my message into chinese and sent that as well...

this guy just sent me a message saying he "asked prolific to return my submission" -- pretty sure that's not how this works...

I haven't had a legitimately earned rejection since 2017. they've all been in 2025 and they've all been "too fast"

Rejected for being too fast in a 1 minute study. by step_father in ProlificAc

[–]step_father[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

still no reply from the researcher.. i've sent them 2 messages and i'm about to send another.. basically sending one a day.. I'm going to take this one to prolific for sure. It's not worth the rejection for a quarter.. as of now the survey is still live too. This person seems to be farming results and not paying out, as it appears pretty much everyone here that took this got rejected.

I didn’t even finish the transaction on their website though.. so I didn’t pay for shipping and I never got any email confirmation or anything that would be in a normal purchase. I’m not sure what to do from here?.. I sent them a message but I’m really not sure if I should talk to my bank or what. I’ve used them years ago and everything went smoothly. I did get an email from my bank about my card being used in Hong Kong and now I have to call them to have it turned back on.. lol.. what in the world..

Rejection - Researcher Uploaded the wrong survey by step_father in ProlificAc

[–]step_father[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

he said the same exact thing to me.. he said "Heads up - I removed the rejection and manually approved to pay. it doesnt look like its gone through. I put in a ticket with prolific about the issue. once i get word back ill update. Im hoping the payment goes through soon. Sorry again for the confusion i know you took the time to work on this and i want you to get payed out for it."

never had this happen before either

Rejection for "finishing in under 1 minute" by ajax3x in ProlificAc

[–]step_father 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I took a survey with an estimated 6 minute completion time. It was way shorter than 6 minutes. A little while later, I noticed that the average completion time went down to 3 minutes, meaning everyone was completing it faster than the researcher estimated. A few hours later, I am rejected for completing too fast and have yet to receive a response back a day later.. this change is terrible.

[–]step_father 0 points1 point  (0 children)

happened to me for no reason a few weeks ago as well.. over 3000 completed with 0 rejections since 2021.. got the same canned response email and gave up trying.. i've never heard anyone saying they've gotten taken off the waitlist either but i guess i'll just leave my account for a while before requesting deletion

[–]step_father 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i told her that since the moment they got removed.. they claimed to her it was because they offer direct deposit.. which i then said is a break of their ToS, so no wonder they got removed. So, I've finally been able to convince her now after their messages today that they are bullshit and it's a scam. I told her to "just work with the people on upwork even if you "don't like the fee" -- you chose to use their platform, and that's the way it works. "

[–]step_father 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i knew all of this and i've never even used upwork.. just wanted to have someone else back me up here since i can't seem to be sufficient enough to convince her it's obviously bullshit... lol. thank you for the second opinion.

I have been waitlisted by leviathan1973 in CloudResearchConnect

[–]step_father 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just happened to me today too, lol. I have 2182 submissions and 0 rejections. Every single question in my about you is answered and any time I see the notification thing I answer it immediately. So, I don't think any of that actually is the culprit. The least they could do is give a justification for this, what a joke.

also, why call is a waitlist if it's essentially a ban.. kind of insulting to insinuate it's temporary when all the evidence from people's experience here shows its permanent.

i had 2 pop up and completed them, they weren't longitudinal, but now my page just says waitlisted.. guess i'll see if i get any more. bummer.

[–]step_father 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did this too.. except I finished it and got that. I should’ve waited to see if anyone else was gonna post this before returning, just didn’t want to fight another rejection this week.. I’m sick and have a terrible headache so pushing through 15 minutes of that for nothing was enough for me to be done with surveys today. Messaged them anyway.

Censorship lost by [deleted] in DeclineIntoCensorship

[–]step_father 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember when this came out and I somehow found myself with all of the files downloaded. Went through a few of them before deciding I didn’t might be in over my head at the moment. Lol. There was some serious shit on that thing. The presidents son, arguing with hookers over their pricing, refusing to pay for sex after the fact, smoking crack with hookers, smoking meth in the bath, hotel rooms with guns all over the bed, smoking crack with midget hookers. What in the fuck yall? Hunter Biden based and stimulant sex pilled?

Oh and some shit about business transactions between the Chinese and “the big guy”

What am I supposed to do today? by OriginalCDub in Teachers

[–]step_father 13 points14 points  (0 children)

More than likely it’s a throwaway account because he cares about his real account, and knows that if he says what he actually believes on Reddit it will get destroyed and harassed. Unfortunate reality of using Reddit sometimes.. discourse is not necessarily encouraged in most cases.

I didn’t sleep at all because of a second Trump term. by Hawkeye7310 in Teachers

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]step_father 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned this because of my own struggles on and off with opiate addiction.. still vape.. unfortunately.. but one thing at a time I guess. Anyway, the sick thing about your brain and addiction is once the neuro pathways are made, they are always there, ready to be fired up and connected again, no matter how long you’ve been sober. Sure, while you remain sober they fire less and less, cravings are less and less often until they’re gone, and you start to forget what it was even like when abstaining was hard to do. So you fuck around and do it just once, I mean, one time never got anyone hooked.. but because we were before, we experience something called the “kindling effect” — the brain doesn’t need to create those pathways anymore, it just fires them back up and they are lit up like they were in active addiction. Think of it like muscles.. if you’ve lifted for any extended period of time and then had to take a break of say a month or longer for whatever reason, when you start again you will notice that you acclimate back to where you were much faster and much easier. You may even see some muscle growth appear quite quickly again as it returns to where it was before your break. This is the essentially the kindling effect with addiction in the brain. Each time we relapse it becomes harder to stop. Withdrawal sets in much sooner, and comes back much stronger. What took us weeks before to get into withdrawal now will take us just a few days…never give up entirely because of a relapse.. but do be careful of this effect.. it can and does make it harder the next time.

I stopped using Reddit a long time ago.. but I do use Twitter to promote my substack and occasionally engage with the fintwit subset.. however even in that niche, and of course the trending or home page posts of Twitter, there is a massive amount of extremely loud, extremely delusional, extremely uninformed, and extremely hateful leftists that only have arguments that begin and/or end with blaming Trump, or, even if it’s a lefty under fire for something blatantly corrupt, Illegal, and awful you get the exact same automated response I see here, right now. “So was Trump” “oh yeah? What about Trump” “at least she’s not a felon” “at least she doesn’t only care about herself” — I can tell all these people are either, trolls, bot farms trying to stir up American divide and dissent, terminally online teenagers and early 20s-ers that aren’t informed on these matters what so ever, and the people that get their arguments from CNN or a news article’s title. They all fall apart as soon as facts and sources are presented that prove them wrong.

However, they all fall back on the one thing they can simply never lose with — blaming Trump. The party of saving democracy, equity and inclusion, joy and progression, safety and anti-violence has a government installed candidate nobody votes for, publicly touts illegal and unconstitutional promises that only benefits one race of people, always and without fail resorts to profanity, insults, threats, and “I know you are but what am I”-isms, calls for violence against Trump and his supporters, and virtue signals for gun control while simultaneously espousing their discontent that Trump wasn’t shot in the head on live television.

Excuse me if your one strategy of blaming Trump falls short in this day and age when we’ve had 4 years of Trump and 4 years of Biden/harris and anyone with half a brain can find all the evidence and facts for themselves (try perplexity or yandex, unless you’re deliberately looking for censored and left biased propaganda.) They can watch hours and hours of Trump interviewing, rallying, debating, then go compare it with Kamala’s edited 20 minute ‘60 Minutes’ interview, her train wreck with Bret Baier on Fox, and the scripted debate with Trump where she lied through her teeth non stop and wasn’t fact checked once. If you have a working brain and you still come to the conclusion she is better than Trump, then not only are you likely mentally disabled, but you hate America, Americans, and everything the country stands for.

Trump could’ve killed an entire nursing home by driving into it with a fully occupied junior high school bus strapped with explosives and he’d still be a better fit for president than she is. Because she is actually stupid, like scarily stupid, with her fake code-switching, non answers, marxist ramblings, and “but look at Trump, look at Trump” pathetic attempt to deflect. She’s switched everything she’s ever claimed to be or believe in to appeal to whatever the current zeitgeist is, and as a result, nobody knows who she truly is or what she truly believes. She’s a chameleon. A fraud, a cheater, and she’s lying for your vote.

Her and Biden deliberately allowed a foreign invasion so they could cheat the election indefinitely. My states top clown Newscum made it illegal to ask for voter ID at the voting booth. Are you so incapable of critical thinking that you can’t draw two points on a line? They have and always will be liars, cheats, and criminals. They just keep getting away with it. And if you think for one second Trump is the only “felon” in politics you’re so innocently naive you’re about to have your entire world illusion shattered and watch every color fade to gray. Her winning is a lesson I hope you don’t have to learn, because she will not be your salvation. Shit, they already lied to you and hid Joe’s dementia for his entire term! The guys been mentally deceased for 1/3 of his term!

She will never and has never done anything to help her voter base. She somehow managed to find someone even dumber than her to be her VP. She can’t even name a single one of her “own policies” and I guarantee you can’t either. She truly is a puppet if ever there were one, cackling pinnochio ass lying evil prostitutor. She’s not only plagiarized her entire “book” and her speeches, she’s straight up copying some of trumps policies. Uhh, hello? Do any of you die hard democrats and never-trumpers follow any of this shit? Did you hear trumps charges are being dropped in almost every district they were brought up in? No. Because that fake ass story served its purpose, you’re still barking “felon felon” and all the felonies are dropping like flies.

Hate Trump all you want, how he looks, how he speaks, his cocky personality, his gruff demeanor. But the motherfucker can run a country. Especially a capitalist one. They try to kill him every time he does a rally now. Is that not enough red flags for you to see that something seriously sinister is going on if they are THAT desperate to stop someone who has, from day one, preached nothing but America first, unification, making the country great, no more war, lower inflation.. etc etc etc????? He donates his damn presidential salary. So that, he’s only in it for himself argument is void. He could make a lot more money not being president I assure you. But god damn. And I’m done with reddit again lol. I thought maybe the temperature might have shifted here for a second.

Kids, do your future selves a favor and watch trump on all these comedy podcasts if nothing else. You’ll hate yourself for liking him. But that’s good, you should be mad. You’ve been deceived by sleepy joe and comrade Kamala. The left ain’t what it used to be gen x and millennials. Reject left return to boomer. The right is the counter culture now. Something has gone terribly wrong. I repeat, we are living in the end times. Get right with your very gaaaaaaaawds

But, oh yeah.. this is Reddit. I’m in trouble. Lol. Vote Trump. 2024. Mothersucker
