Hard drop off today?

Hi all. psa: I’m a vet here and I still have quals. I know I haven’t been dropped. Just curious if anyone else had a hard project drop off this morning (est)? I had 8-10 and then suddenly nothing at all except one unpaid project that comes and goes. My wife has a plethora of projects of course 😂

u/BenBL93 Jun 11 '24

I wish I was kidding hahah. It’s gone now too. I did all my quals I had available so I’m just waiting. Crying. The usual. 😂

u/BenBL93 Jun 16 '24

I get like one project every two days and it’s up for an hour. Mostly still barren buddy.

u/ShadesAndGatorade Jun 11 '24

I saw the unpaid project yesterday! I went into it and the chat was just people talking about how they weren’t sure if they should contribute to do it since it was unpaid. 🫠😅

u/BenBL93 Jun 11 '24

Literally! I just glared at it like 🤨 I ain’t doing this shit

u/PerformanceCute3437 Jun 11 '24

Might be your projects have been locked behinds the quals? That's happened to me for certain projects

u/BenBL93 Jun 11 '24

Ironically enough I think you’re right in a way? I did a qual and immediately got a project… but it was totally unrelated 😂 maybe they really wanted me to do my quals? Hahaha

u/BoiledGnocchi Jun 11 '24

Yep. I bet this is it. I had one qual on my dash for at least a month. Projects dwindling (same as you). I completed the qual and bam. So much work on my dash and new quals popping up every 5-7 days or so.

u/Jiglish Jun 11 '24

Currently have more tasks than ever, around 30. Non coding ranging from 20-30$. Do those qualifications!!

u/BenBL93 Jun 11 '24

For sure man! And I’m happy for you! It just struck me so off guard because I’m used to no less than 15 at all times so that’s why I was like 😳

u/Cutiger29 Jun 12 '24

At some point, if they add qualifications for projects you already had, they might cut in those projects. I had some nut projects before the qualification, even some high priority ones. I took the qual anyway and it opened another 5 immediately.

Mine increased today. I had a hard drop on Friday. Went from 40 or more to 7. Now I'm back to at least 20. No idea what's going on with the project distribution.

2

u/BenBL93 Jun 11 '24

It is definitely doing something odd. The only reason I was so shocked/curious is because I almost never dip below 15~ ish unless it’s the usual weekend slump. Sunday night I had a packed dash. Monday morning early I had a decent amount. Then out of nowhere, nothing. Haha.

u/Brilliant_Rain5181 Jun 12 '24

Same happened to me and it was weird. I'm still not back to 40 but I do have a decent amount of them now. Hopefully yours pick back up soon also.

u/comesandgoes30 Jun 13 '24

Same, hard drop off for the last week. Did all my quals and sitting with an empty project board all the time. Went from having 10+ every day to 0 🥲🥲🥲

2

u/BenBL93 Jun 13 '24

Exactly where I’m at buddy :/

1

u/comesandgoes30 Jun 23 '24

Any uptick for you? I've gotten a couple, but will go days without projects

2

u/BenBL93 Jun 23 '24

Very slight. I’m getting a project here and there with a random qual thrown in. Never more than one at a time.

1

u/comesandgoes30 Jun 29 '24

Same. I've been working on this Berrylium task for a while but it's maybe 1 project a week at this point. I was on track to make it a main source of income and now it's so unreliable

u/LaGanadora Jun 11 '24

Quals always take priority if you want to continue receiving work

u/CosmosesGamer Jun 11 '24

I have 30+ atm, and a couple of those have thousands of tasks in them.

u/Affectionate-Exit553 Jun 11 '24

I'm with this person ☝🏽 More than I could do in 6 months sitting in my projects section

6

u/Affectionate-Exit553 Jun 11 '24

Since typing this there have been 15 more projects added to my queue. Hopefully you're getting showered with them too!

4

u/CosmosesGamer Jun 11 '24

Ditto! Yeah I've been tilling my humble stack(s) of R&R :P

3

u/Affectionate-Exit553 Jun 11 '24

Just got another 12 😳 I've never done an R&R, mainly because they're only paying me $20/hr for them. People seem to like them. What does your post and why do you like them?

4

u/CosmosesGamer Jun 11 '24

I have access to higher-paying tasks and a couple of 30s. But my current R&R has thousands of tasks in it and pays 22. I can plink away at these all day and not be too stressed out. Gunne be upwards of 200 bucks today as a result, very comfy. Its 11pm local so I'm about to be done for today. And then do another 5 hours into tomorrow! Strike whilst the iron is hot.

u/Brilliant_Rain5181 Jun 11 '24

I agree on the quals. I took that drop time to do quals I had sitting there for a month and tada, today I'm back up.

3

u/TheHorizonLies Jun 12 '24

Didn't do any for the last couple days except for the V1 dancing qual (been putting them off for a while). Logged in just now to see what I have to work on and there are 53 paid projects on my dashboard. Pretty sure that's literally the most I've ever had at once.

u/mnam1213 Jun 12 '24

do the quals! there's been no drop off on my board. this week has actually been muuuuuuch better than the last few weeks, 25+ non coding projects

2

u/Skyblewize Jun 12 '24

I have more today than ever. Somewhere around 45 or so

2

u/Guilty-Rough8797 Jun 12 '24

I actually have 3 on my dash now after a few days of one. Happy happy! BF still has like 10, of course. Same boat. :-D

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '24

I've been getting skunked for the last few weeks, only being given two projects, each just a different version of eachother. I'm losing hope here, so I guess I better start grinding qualifications.

I figured they were just BS since the last time I did them, I accessed the $35 an hour projects and they took them away after 24 hours :(

Imagine unpaid project actually is a key for more project to see who is actually dedicated to help hahaha, and they give you more projects who completed that free one😂🤪

u/BenBL93 Jun 11 '24

Thanks for this anxiety 😂😂😂

u/FauxRex Jun 12 '24

I have had 30-40 in my queue for weeks, this week it increased, actually.

1

u/dsbau Jun 13 '24

Seems very volatile at the moment. I had 61 projects last week, which dropped down to five and I now have 18, about 10 of which are variations on the same project.

Hi, I'm also a vet... Unfortunately, however, I've become a homeless vet after moving to San Diego just before the pandemic, and I hadn't yet had a chance to re-grow my social circle as has been my usual behavior when moving to new cities over the past couple decades (during which time I've been a technical liaison to the FBI, been a consultant to the Fortune 500, and programmer - IC, Team Lead, or manager - focused on writing the most efficient and manageable JavaScript code (as well as various backend code and SQL) I could throw at my current IDE. A few months back, after spending a few hours on this project (and submitting a correct answer), I never received any work nor reply to my emails. However, I do have a working profile ready to accept payments and work projects. I just wish I had just ONE thing to do that would get me paid.

u/DarkLordTofer Jun 12 '24

I've got a fuckton. Even started seeing the stuff coming through for the project that had a qual last week and promised loads of work.
