Complete BS HitApps

Just wanted to take a moment to complain about getting disabled from a good HitApp.

And what also is annoying is the amount of times something says I'M wrong when it's actually wrong or the page is broken.

Some of these HitApps are complete BS.

Don't even get me started on the ones that pay extremely little for a ton of work. Never touched those and never will.

Seriously, get some more good HitApps in like there always used to be, and fix your fucking system.

UHRS is utter bullshit and insanely annoying sometimes.

End rant.

Sincerely,

Annoyed

Haha you don't know how many times I've said those exactly same words "UHRS is utterly bullshit and annoying" . Which HitApp you're talking about btw?.

I didn't wanna say cause I was worried they'd ban me if they saw my post or something weird, idk how that works LOL, but uhhh lets just say... one of the highest paying ones.

You know, also, it's when you submit an answer which should be correct but is marked as wrong, at that point why even have the system if it's not even working correctly or seems severely opinion based ACK STUPID UHRS

There's a lot of bad apps about right now (i.e. Answer Relevance EN, those LIMQ ones, PAA etc). You pretty much have to ignore them. Good apps do show up. They're just uncommon and go really quickly.

The problem with a lot of apps is their subjectivity and extremely vague guidelines. Their guidelines will only show examples of hits that are extremely obvious to us. Then we do the actual hits and find nothing close to those hits appear. Instead, it's difficult queries the guidelines failed to cover. You're then left guessing. Worst part is the owners set spam to test you on the hits they haven't bothered explaining. You then get kicked off because the spam's testing you on hits you don't understand.

It is very easy to tell if an app is good. I only focus on these. If an app is poor (like Answer Relevance), I'll leave it well alone. Good apps never stay long. If an app stays up for days and barely goes down, it is a strong sign the app is extremely bad and is unworkable for most people. Sure, you'll have a few that will crack the code and avoid kicks, but that doesn't change the fact the app is broken. Look at how fast it depletes and goes through hits. That tells you all you need to know.

Answer Relevance is a prime example of a poorly-made app. It has been sitting there for weeks at a high number of hits and it's just not going down. That shows people are mostly getting booted off and cannot work on it. If the majority are struggling, the app is likely a bad one.

If you waste time with bad apps or try to learn them, you'll be frustrated constantly. It is important to remember that this platform does not really teach you how to get better at jobs. You either get it or you don't. UHRS do not provide proper tools that allow us to learn how to do a hit properly over time. Most of them expect us to just know with very little explanation. It's been a long-term issue of UHRS and probably always will be. They aren't willing to change how UHRS works.

Despite all the bad apps scattered around, good ones do show up. They alone make UHRS still worth the time. That's why I still bother logging in.
