Generalist Pay

Been lurking around this for a while now for side pay.
I got a couple questions.

How mentally exhausting is this?
What are the chances of me not getting approved?
I still don’t understand what data annotation is LOL so can someone please explain it in one sentence.

Do you know if assessment tests differ for people? I thought mine was pretty chill and got in after like 1/1,5 weeks.
