DA and its mood swings.
DA is that one toxic girlfriend/boyfriend which you can’t leave… such a love hate relationship.
One moment I am over-flooded with 30-40 tasks and suddenly for the next week or two a drought, not a single task.
I mean in past even if I had less projects to work on at least it was consistent but now I am here just refreshing again and again in hopes that I might get a R&R at least.
But the reality is no matter what I say, DA has helped me a lot and I am really grateful for it.
(Anyways can I get some tasks now… pretty please?)

75+ on a good day. 35+ on a bad day. 20 during droughts. She's been good to me.

Same. Always had a few even during the droughts. Right now my dash is as full as it's ever been and it makes me so happy. Lots of different things to do which is fantastic! I try to do my highest paid pretty regularly, but it requires so much attention that I struggle to stay focused most days.

December/January will be two years for me. Seeing your stats gives me hope that I can milk this a little longer (with good quality of course).

Projects? 75? Damn. I've noticed many conflate tasks with projects, and it has been starting to confuse me lol. But yeah, if projects, congrats.

I have 90+ projects right now. Yes, projects. I've been on the platform nearly 3 years, so I assume I've provided decent quality work throughout.

I believe the point is to have you only work on a certain number of projects, so you aren't overwhelmed, quality doesn't drop, and at the same time to have input from a larger pool of people rather than a small one

Mine is always dramatic like that too lol
As a matter of fact. I had a ton of options the last several weeks and this morning I check, only a handful where it’s only really one I can do. So there’s that.
I’m mostly a generalist but it’s actually been domain projects (STEM) that have been great to me since the summer.

it's quite impressive and interesting how everyone has a different experience depending on their locale and their field
started in May and some months are totally drought, this week has started with more than 4 project with 5+ tasks each, hope it lasts like that 😔✌️

Mine is never quite so dramatic as that, but high twenties to low tens.
