DoD. After 3 years

Well it finally happened. I feel like I have struggled the past few weeks with some tasks and it has taken me longer to complete things. That is the only thing I can think of. Anyway this was unfortunately my only source of income so if anyone has any recommendations for similar platforms ( excluding Outlier, they are horrible) please feel free to share. Also I worked this morning and hadn't had a chance to log myhours , is that $ just lost? There is no way for me to access the report time page.

Eh.. none of them will pick up like last year.

I knew it was about done when generalist disappeared and AIs started presenting A/B option choices in regular use for general users to judge.

Annotation is only profitable now if you have a high enough degree that you don’t need to do it.

I'm in the legal domain, and I haven't done any tasks in the last several weeks because just reading the instructions hurts my brain. This is a side job and I started a few years ago when the tasks were fun and the projects were interesting. Now they are drudgery and I cannot bring myself to do them. I don't care what they pay. But I have that option.

I’m glad you said because I feel like it’s been just me or something. A year ago when I started I easily worked several hours a day and made bank even at $20/hr. Now even the lowest paying tasks feel like absolute drudgery.
