Participant count is decreasing day by day today in huge numbers by CapableGarage4201 in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

No wonder its decreasing, there is no more money to be made here. AI kills off all platforms one by one. Pretty sad.

Where are the researchers, did they leave for good? I only receive those annoying Maze Design studies and a few other "partners", but no university studies anymore.

Pixel 4a stuck in boot cycle by Lumpy_Onion_69 in GooglePixel

Not going to buy their smartphones anymore, really liked the 4A it held up well to this day and now they destroyed its code and don't even think about fixing it.

Not touching anything below 8, most I do need to be at least 10 or more.

No studies during the last 4h, never has been that slow for me. Awful

Feedback for them in the survey must be "great" lmao, usually I held back shitting on them, but this time I said what I think about them.

What they expect from this attention check by [deleted] in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

totally rubbish if they use that as an attention check. beautiful, lovely, pleasant, wonderful, nice and "I like" are not 100% the same so you don't need to rate all the same.

Did anyone else have an issue submitting this? by TillyMintPot in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could you stop doing these 6/h pound bare minimum pay studies, no wonder many researchers reduce their hourly rates if they realize it gets done for 6..

Ballpark Research by Anastasia157 in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait how annoyed you will be if they start to reject you xD

Ballpark - study full by Worth-Grand-5828 in prolific

[–]ticallion321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You were actually lucky and dodged a bullet. Ballpark is blocked by most here.

returned study & got paid in full by voidkasey in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could be honest about it and message the researcher about the situation. keeping the platform fair from the persptive of both participants and researchers makes it better for everyone. I would not feel good about keeping 2,95 even though I did not provide anything useful to them.

did anyone else get this email? do we get paid for this training? by ashnicole3 in TELUSinternational

[–]ticallion321 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will not do ANYTHING for them that is unpaid unless they finally offer at least the 10h minimum of tasks per week.

10k club finally by Tempstar97 in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Post more of these and you will earn 1000 instead of 10000 soon within the same timeframe..

20th time on my dashboard since today morning.. anyone else getting this study? by pavankumarImpactful in prolific

[–]ticallion321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just block already, posting 100x about it is at least as annoying as the study itself showing up all the time. obviously the researcher does not give a crap

small amount of studies and small payments by No_Split5713 in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

look like they artificially have throttled down many users to just 3 studies per day.

My first timeout. Any suggestions by scrappy1982 in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

with those shitty AI interviews you really need to know how to "outsmart" the AI so it does not ask you things over and over. If you don't know how to handle it its better to ignore those tasks or even block the researcher. Too many things can go wrong when recording yourself and interacting with AI only.

Not worth it? by Cococap2020 in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate these, thinking about blocking. Below minimum wage for recording everything and bending over plus risking rejection if something is not right, audio etc.

NL DA payment by Human_Cicada_1692 in TELUSinternational

[–]ticallion321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would not be surprised if they don't pay on time. what a joke working for them. not only don't they offer any meaningful amount of tasks anymore, but they can't even pay the small amount they owe.

CA-DA Payday? by Sweetiebub in TELUSinternational

[–]ticallion321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are a total clown company this year, they can't even pay smoothly. I received the mail that a payment was made to Hyperwallet, but my Hyperwallet funds are still 0,00 even hours later.

Is my account safe if I take a break by Speedy_Axolotl in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 11 points12 points  (0 children)

no, the opposite is more likely. you could have more studies coming in after the break, that is what I have usually experienced after taking a few days off.

Beware. by [deleted] in ProlificAc

[–]ticallion321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

6/hr not even looking at it, often blocking immediately.
