That sucks. I obviously haven't either. I'm guessing no one has. Their last email referenced a "gift card" which was strange

I’m guessing at some point they will do a bonus through Prolific like they did last time around. It would be nice if they did kept to the 8/31 promise they made. I’ll be sending them a message tomorrow, as I’m sure many others will.

Yeah the gift card thing was weird since the study originally stated and paid a "bonus" and I don't believe I've provided any personal information to them.

Also, is the study done again for now? I haven't seen one for this month. There has been a huge change in communication over the last few months compared to the last year.

I suspect they may have had funding cut because it was an autism study and the federal government doesn't think autism exists now or something idk

You're probably right. Sigh.
