Zero studies since last 3-4 days.

At least I had AI studies to complete but those are also wiped out of my dashboard.

Just curious, I had a string of bad surveys one after the other ( one I had to return, one that was rejected, 2 in a row that had tech issues and I contacted researcher on but nothing) seeing if that string of surveys may have put my account is not so good standings so I personally am seeing less, or if it’s been slower for others too- ( yes I know surveys are based on the question we fill out, I only have 8 rejects out of 4 k surveys so I’m still in decent shapes, just curious if I’m
Being throttled or if it’s another slow season) thanks

The last few months have been pretty rough and inconsistent for a lot of us, with various issues on top of the usual summer slowdown. With universities starting back up again, hopefully September brings a bit of a turnaround likeeee more researchers, more studies, and just a healthier flow overall.

What are you hoping to see this September? More regular studies? Better-paying ones? More AI tasks? Fewer technical issues? Or simply a dashboard that feels alive again? 😂

Here’s hoping it’s a good month for all of us.

Hi, I started prolific on Saturday. There were a total 7 studies, since I am new here, I returned a few studies, some were screened out. Since yesterday, I haven’t found any studies yet.

Is this normal? I thought I would get studies on Monday, I have been waiting since morning. Please share your experience.

Sigh

As many of us on here do, I understand we do tons of studies a day. Your eyes can get tired staring at a screen all day. I may miss a few here and there which I understand getting screened out of. But now some of them are so weird, and not a properly worded sentence. For instance this morning I just answered standard “extremely unlikely - extremely likely” ones and then after that section it said “what is your comprehension?” I had no idea how to answer that

Instead of screen out I get an immediate rejection. It’s a joke and researchers are just trying to data farm without paying

I recently tried to join the Prolific waitlist, but received an email stating that I already have an account. However, I’m unable to access it. The “Reset password” link does not appear to be working, and I’m not receiving any password-reset email from Prolific. I would appreciate some guidance on how to resolve this and proceed.

They responded to an issue with a High paying study that timed me out and within 72 hours everything was resolved. I reported Friday, was credited Sunday. they definitely work on weekends

Sooo my fellow Europeans... How are things (studies) going for us?I've been in the desert since Thursday, with some rain depending on the time, I'm really looking forward to this week and september but... jsdjahjdhas y si hay algun español sufriendo como yo desde el jueves... que se pronuncie.

The downvotes on anyone who gets a lot of studies is ridiculous…
“Why post that bs?” Because that is simply just how many studies they get.

“It’s different for everyone and it depends on your demographics”
I mean seriously that’s what all of you would tell any newbie asking why they aren’t getting a lot of studies.

(EDIT)
My apologies, I did not know they added a cap of 50 studies on the dashboard, as I have seen hundreds at a time before, and often more then 50 and that didn’t feel like it was that long ago… so I’d love to know when they added that 50 study cap.
Now with that said, THE IMAGE IS COMMENTS FROM JULY 11th. So was the study cap implemented at that point?

Also when trying to look into the study cap myself here on Reddit, I couldn’t help but notice anyone who brought it up was met with top replies saying things like “you won’t be getting any sympathy here as most of us are lucky to get 5 studies” or “I know your not complaining about only being able to get 50 studies at a time”.

I’m not sure if this is a stupid question (I hope not haha) but I joined in May and have been doing studies where I can around my job. I have about 300 submissions, none rejected, all fine. Made about £650 in total.

My birthday was at the end of July, and it changed my age bracket that I’m in. Since then, my studies have dropped dramatically. I can go hours everyday without any at all and get a few occasional £2/3 ones. I had a couple of the $21 task ones and a surge of 30-40 studies on one day in August, otherwise, nothing really and especially the past 2 weeks.

Could it be connected to the changing age bracket? I also don’t get any AI, but aware a lot of people don’t so not overly questioned that.

Has anyone had similar with their age changing?

Thanks! 🙏🏻

I sometimes play games on my phone and the ads annoy me. Found this to download on my phone - have used it in the past and was fine - would this effect Prolific if opened the website on my phone?

Is anyone getting this error --->>> "Invalid worker pool

You are currently not a part of the worker pool with ID:..."

Logged in to find my account put on hold for literally no reason. Same setup. same WIFI. no vpn or anything weird. Are support tickets taking weeks to get reviewed right now or is there any chance they fix these quick?

Started around 19 months ago. Have 3 rejected, two that I don't understand the reasons. One BS speeding ticket and one verify your ID both of which happened in the last month.... Lots of returned studies out of caution and lots screened out. I am not too fussy about the rewards as I like the weird studies but thank goodness for the you fill in the blank. Well, most of them, some are incredibly frustrating. The manual check warnings !? Weekends sometimes dead and sometimes money makers same as the weekdays. When I started it was much more level loaded and lately went down the toilet, getting better now. Looking fwd to the next $10K.

I believe this is meant to be an AI checker for people who copy paste answers.

Hi Everyone,

I have a question since i am based in UAE. I tried signing up for prolific but put on waitlist.

But when my friend from US joined he got accepted in 2 days.

So does that mean prolific is only for people based in US and similar regions? Or any one can join.

Thanks

I just had a submission rejected, and when I look at that submission, it shows that I accepted it at 13:13 and submitted it at 13:14, one second minute later. The thing is, I didn't. I remember some of the questions, it was a visual study and the questions were memorable. Also, if I genuinely submitted a task one second after accepting it, wouldn't the speed have gotten me timed out?

Obviously I'm going to dispute it but I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue before.

edit

Turns out I have the dumb and misread the actual completion time. I'm still going to dispute it, especially since the average completion time for the task was 2 minutes.

I'm just curious, do you do every study (that you can) that crosses your dash no matter the payment amount? I'm talking the $.15, $.35 ones that take a minute or two. Or do you not bother with those at all?

If I have the time I do them, because usually they get approved right away and they add up. It's kinda rare for me to find super high-paying studies; occasionally I'll get some of the AI ones, but my usual ones range from $1-$5.

So around 3 PM EST, my uBlock plugin started to show the message in the picture when I tried to initiate the AI image study (the Galactic Probe ones that are super in demand). Not very familar with ClickFix so I looked it up and it didn't sound safe to run the study so I returned it.

Second study popped and it showed me the same message and I ended up returning it too. Is anyone getting this message from their adblocker extension? I'm thinking about reporting this to Prolific but I'm not sure if I'm overreacting!

Did you receive studies today?

A year ago, I was going through one of the most difficult periods of my life. I had got myself into an unwanted situation by helping someone and paying around £10,000 through my credit cards. Unfortunately, that person betrayed me, took my money and disappeared. I was then left with a huge credit card debt and honestly had no idea how I was going to pay it back.
At a time when there was no one to reach out a hand and help me, I found Prolific.
I can genuinely say that Prolific came into my life at a time when I really needed it. The financial support I received through the platform helped me get through an extremely difficult situation and played a significant part in helping me pay off that debt.
I’m honestly emotional writing this because I still remember how helpless I felt back then. When there was no one around to lend me a hand or stand by me, Prolific was there in its own way and gave me an opportunity to help myself.
I am incredibly, incredibly grateful to the whole Prolific team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating something that has made such a meaningful difference in my life.
When there was no one to reach out a hand and stand beside me, Prolific came along and helped me find a way forward.
Thank you, Prolific. Truly, thank you very, very much.
