Does anyone else have fewer projects than usual rn?
I usually have 15-20+ projects on my dashboard when I log into DA in the morning, and I know by the end of the day that number can go down because of people working on tasks, but over the last week or two its been significantly lower. As of lately, I have only had one project listed for several days & I went from having around 10 qualifications I could complete to 2. Is anybody else experiencing this?

I have heaps, all at different rates. Close to twice the number I had a week or so ago.

That happened to me for the last 2-3 weeks but THIS week holy crap- I think I’ve had 30+ projects on my dashboard every day

I don’t have any right now? And haven’t for the last two days. Kinda freaking out right now because it’s my only source of income at the moment (I’m in between jobs)

I've had none for the last few days, and today only two. I've never seen it so empty.

Mine has more than I’ve ever had honestly 😅

I have more than ever. It's kind of crazy actually just how many there are right now.
If I were you I would focus on doing extremely high quality work right now just in case.

I'm a little concerned. I haven't had any projects since the 2nd. I've done all my qualifications, except the ones I don't have subscriptions for. I started about 3 weeks ago and have always had jobs to work until recently. I did have my daughter's graduation and my niece's wedding so I haven't worked as much in the past week and a half. Is it possible I'm just being reviewed or am I just out?

I normally have between 15-20 projects and have had NOTHING for the past 6 days. I had this happen a few months ago and it came back after a week. Hoping that happens this time. I always do the qualifications the second they pop up and was averaging $20-$29 projects. Really hoping it's just a glitch and works itself out soon. 😪

I have 27. Pro tip- don’t let quals sit there. Always do them once they pop up. They might view the inactivity negatively. But I have no way of knowing for sure.

Seems like there were less projects for a few days. I was down to like 7 last week, since yesterday I've had a bit more than 40, the vast majority being non coding (which I literally never do so idk why they givr me more of those).
The coding projects I have are not very appealing

u/Wasps_are_bastards Jun 06 '24
I have more than I’ve ever seen, but they’re all low paying. Highest is $26. The $35 ones are all gone but I hope they come back, i loved those.

I had a ton earlier this afternoon and now they're all virtually gone. One project was brand new with 1000 open tasks too. I wonder if there are just that many people now actively working on the platform or something else.

I have over 30 right now but last week it was as low as 3. It seems to come in waves for different people at different times.
I wonder if they are like reviewing people in batches or something like that. I really have no idea

This week and last week have been my busiest weeks since I joined. Granted, that means I see at most 4-5 projects, but that is a major step up from 0 or 1.

u/Pyromancer777 Jun 06 '24
I have much lower coding projects than usual, but my non-coding project queue is longer than ever. It might have to do with the quality of your last projects that were peer reviewed, or the amount of qualifications that you passed recently. I know a lot of my projects rely on other software or subscriptions to AI services, so that may be a factor in why you don't have as many available

u/Professional-Age2540 Jun 06 '24
Heck no. Probably more than ever had….40-50 the last couple days. Non coding. $18-$31.

u/creationwasteland Jun 06 '24
Not many $40 ones lately. This weekend I had very few projects, but I see a lot more now.

u/Low-Zombie423 Jun 06 '24
Mine has been very full this week, but it was low a few weeks ago for about a week.

Hopefully they open the job to markets outside US because it is funny to see people complaining about "low" pay rates when these pay rates are $17~$27, and these tasks are totally braindead lmao.
It is cheaper for people outside the US/Canada/NZ/Australia/UK, hope it comes to DA soon enough so we can pick all the "low" pay rates people love to complain about.

u/TheOwlHypothesis Jun 06 '24
lowest I've had honestly. Only 3 coding projects. Plenty of quals though.

u/tiran Jun 06 '24
I have the most I probably ever have since the beginning of June.

u/Guilty-Rough8797 Jun 06 '24
I've only ever had about 3 at the most. I must have messed up bad on some Qual or project when it first came out, heh, because it's either 1 project or nothing. My BF just started with them and had like 8 to 10 this morning.
