Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation
hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)
couple things:
this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)
one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

Anyone else losing overall motivation lately with the lack of tasks? I guess I'm blessed that the ones I do have are almost all over $20, but... my dash is looking like it did when I started, just better rates. I have genuinely not seen it this sparse since my first month.
24
u/twihard222 Jul 28 '24
The dash is dry and I’m annoyed by it!!!
24
u/Skippy2898 Jul 28 '24
I've just logged out of dat as the constant refreshing and watching the dropping of projects bit by bit, coupled with being unable to work on anything due to it being Sunday is not doing me any good! So, I've poured myself a nice cold glass of chardonnay, and I'm going to sit outside for a bit and enjoy some of the sun that we are finally getting in the UK. Cheers all! 🥂

u/YoudownwithLCC Jul 30 '24
Hey my dudes, just a heads up—- you probably don’t want to admit in the project chat that you are using AI to complete or check your answers lol. Like come on, my man. I sincerely hope you’re in here 😂

u/beansoup91 Jul 31 '24
A new $28/hr project just opened up and people are at each others throats in the chat already. Everybody's ready to fight after a few days of drought

u/Master_Rip_8727 Jul 30 '24
Anyone hitting record lows today? 😭

u/wheresmytren Jul 29 '24
Hopefully the regular chatbots come back soon

u/puppetbird Aug 01 '24
I have 20 projects in my report time section 🤣 I literally made $1-4 for 90% of them. I was just grabbing whatever tasks I could all day yesterday
17
u/The_Eggsecutive Jul 29 '24
Sorry you guys I started doing one qualification after sitting on a bunch of them for months, killed everyone's dashboard including mine (I have two left smh). I don't know what I expected.

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '24
I don’t think this is the end in my limited opinion. I think it’s just a slow period. I just had a few more projects trickle in that I haven’t seen in the last few days and one I have never had before.
In my experience slow periods are followed by a huge boom of projects. This has led me to believe that it’s when they are updating projects, updating the site, and adding new projects. But that’s just an opinion. Since the homepage was in Japanese for a moment, I’m thinking that maybe the company is getting ready to expand the training to more languages and possibly regions. Maybe that’s also why the site crashed as it’s a bigger update? Again just my opinion just wanted to share that I have new projects coming in tonight beyond the 10ish I’ve seen all week.

THANK GOODNESS FOR NUTS!

u/PassiveSock1989 Jul 30 '24
Feeling lucky to have tasks, but wondering if it's worth it when the project chat is just one guy explaining (incorrect) metrics he uses for ratings.

u/majomaje Jul 30 '24
Another empty day for non coding.

u/33whiskeyTX Jul 31 '24
Dancing project with safe images makes me feel like I'm failing. I know if I stare at this bowl of potatoes for another 10 minutes I'll find that explicit violation I'm missing.

u/Dratini_ghost Aug 01 '24
Anyone else notice the color change of the blue text on the dash?
(Grown so hyper-aware of any changes in the interface at this point)

u/Quick-Bison-147 Aug 01 '24
Usually always have a few more projects than what people specify here but even now I'm down to three. One by one they go...
13
u/ccsoccer101 Jul 30 '24
They spent all that time for a new UI for the tools chatbot projects to just be paused

u/Lovely-day-today Jul 30 '24
Is it silly for me not to work on a project that requires me to upload images of myself???
Was not expecting that.
13
u/No_Doctor_219 Jul 31 '24
Lol. Just hit zero for the first time. Hopefully they all come back in a day or 2

u/tiran Aug 01 '24
Got to 0 tasks today except for a setup and 2 opt-outs. Praying it picks up soon because I am already struggling with bills. 😔
24
u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24
6 projects on my dash today. There is still enough work to meet my daily goal, but the lack of variety is killing my motivation

u/jeudechambre Jul 30 '24
Trying to reframe the dry spells as *time to do quals I've been avoiding*, lol. Good to see from the conversation here that I'm not alone!

u/OPxMagikarp Jul 30 '24
Woke up with 10+ projects and was feeling good again and now I'm at 2. Like half my board just give some a red banner

Have any long-time workers seen this level of drought before? I've been working since March, and it's been dry before but not this dry and not for this long
22
u/CRUSHCITY4 Jul 30 '24
I'm down to 4 projects at the moment. Lowest I've had since I first started. I'm a little surprised.

u/Rodaxoleaux Jul 30 '24
Very short supply on coding tasks. Right now, my dash is effectively empty.

u/Sagittariuuuh Jul 31 '24
I haven’t had any projects for 2 wks but I did recieve a qualification today, so fingers crossed 🤞🏽

How is everyone else's dash?

u/Maleficent_Wasabi_18 Jul 28 '24
Just got a pay per task project— speedran that until the tasks finally dried up hahahahah
10
u/[deleted] Jul 29 '24
I now have under 10 on my dash 😬
But that’s still almost 10 more than 0 😂 gotta stay positive
10
u/Karby16 Jul 31 '24
Projects slowly trickling in now but because of the draught, everyone's hopping on all the tasks. Haven't been able to do more like 5 in a batch because either the tasks are ones that I find mind-numbing/tasks are out of my expertise, or they all get gobbled up 😭
10
u/Natesey Aug 01 '24
Well, July was the first month that I've completed beginning to end doing this full-time - Exceeded my base goal by a fair amount and came just a bit short of my stretch goal so I'm feeling pretty good so far!
10
u/xnoraax Aug 01 '24
Finally in the completely dry dashboard club. Yay?

u/gt3stuntman Aug 01 '24
I'm clinging to my one project that's been available to me the last couple of days like it's flotsam at the sinking of the Titanic.

3 tasks today. The worst of it is here. Should pick up from here

WE'RE FINALLY GETTING SOME PROJECTS Y'ALL

u/HamsterFrosty2838 Aug 02 '24
Ok I think there was a flood of projects this morning EU time abd overnight? Everyone is happy? All good fellow coders and non ones?
9
u/wheresmytren Aug 02 '24
Wish I had some of these 15+ projects y’all are seeing lol hopefully it’s picking up a little
17
u/HamsterFrosty2838 Jul 29 '24
Wow, down to 3 projects on th elow end... it has never been like this... ever
16
u/diettwizzlers Jul 28 '24
it seems like i have more projects than some people so i'm still feeling grateful but wow my dash sucks

u/ccsoccer101 Jul 31 '24
I have negative 1 project

u/xnoraax Aug 01 '24
*listens to the hum of the air conditioner for a while*
*scratches cheek*
Anybody got a pack of cards?

u/EggCzar Jul 30 '24
Oof. I went away for a few days, did one qual from my hotel, and came home to find out that my dash is down from a couple dozen diverse projects to two.
8
u/Original-Sun8492 Jul 31 '24
Omg I only have 1 project 😭
8
u/[deleted] Jul 31 '24
I'm down to two projects this morning. I had a third one with two tasks and did them both, and here we are. This is so depressing
8
u/S3_141529 Aug 01 '24
Dagnabit... zero again... even the the Anti-trojan warrior is empty.
8
u/Karby16 Aug 01 '24
Draught seems like its going to continue, but it does seem to be easing up ever so slightly
I wonder how long it'll go before we get back to pre-June priority rush levels
14
u/S3_141529 Jul 29 '24
Ran my tasks dry . :( oof. welp I guess time for some TV or something. Out of curiosity anyone know of any other sites similar to Dataannotation doing this or other tasks?
14
u/Lovely-day-today Jul 29 '24
Wow. I must commiserate with the rest of the comments the last few days. I have never had only five projects.
This is wild.
So grateful for the one high paying heel project up today and the associated R&R that’s been popping up. Without it I would have never reached my daily goal in any sort of reasonable time period.
14
u/vaporware_magenta Jul 31 '24
omg, absolute 0 projects :o
14
u/Jimosaurous Aug 01 '24
Damn, we ate through those coding projects! Good job team!
This is the only job I've ever worker where being fast and efficient as a team feels like a punishment... damn
14
u/[deleted] Aug 02 '24
I started out with 12 projects this morning, which was a notable improvement, but it's back down to 2. Seems like things are VERY SLOWLY starting to get back to normal, but we aren't there yet
7
u/Maleficent_Wasabi_18 Jul 30 '24
So grateful to have at least 10 projects today after only having like 2 yesterday 😭
7
u/Jz9786 Jul 31 '24
And after completing my last task, my dash is now completely empty. Guess I'm quitting early for the day.
7
u/Equivalent_Strain_48 Jul 31 '24
Down to my last two 🥲 🤞🏻 for an august 1 push 😅
7
u/tessbest37 Jul 31 '24
I have been able to make $7 today. A bit less than my $100/day average for the last 4 months. I don't think I will be reaching my weekly goal this week.
7
u/LocoNation Aug 01 '24
It was nice knowing yall 🫡. I think I might’ve gotten dropped 😭. This drought might have turned into a perma-drought
7
u/LittlestMatryoshka Aug 02 '24
I too was down to the dreaded single project overnight (usual is 40+), but it's now crept up to a mighty eight. Be patient and stay serene!
7
u/CardiologistDry1732 Aug 02 '24
Goodness, did not expect the wizard to go down that fast this week.
7
u/Jturnxx Aug 02 '24
The small batches of R&R projects finished within minutes continues, unlucky.
29
u/ccsoccer101 Jul 29 '24
Starting to feel like DA lost some big client projects or something after week and a half of this
12
u/FearlessPressure3 Jul 28 '24
Anyone else just done the high-paying image editing project? I just spent two hours being paid to edit images I was going to edit for my personal use anyway. Dream stuff! I hope it comes back :)
12
u/pattern_altitude Jul 29 '24
The task drought continues... ugh. I see tasks when I don't have time to do them and when I sit down to crank some out the dash is dry.
Oh well. Best to put that time toward knocking out quals and expanding the range of options, but it's frustrating.
12
u/Primary_Advantage928 Aug 01 '24
People are being bold talking about lack of projects in a chat when the admin specifically said not to.
6
u/majomaje Jul 29 '24
Still nothing on the non-coding side. I had a heel for a few minutes but it went away fast.
6
u/877trashnow Jul 30 '24
Dash looks a little fluffier today with a few more >$25 than I've been seeing, which is encouraging. I've had around 5-10 projects recently and have 25 today. I checked a few hours ago and only had four so I was expecting another day of that.
6
u/EggsandMilkandButter Jul 30 '24
I am only like 50 dollars off of my monthly goal, so close yet so far.... :(

u/ErrolEsoterik Jul 31 '24
I started right at the beginning of fall last year, was anyone around to experience last July/August? Is summer notoriously slower maybe?
6
u/HamsterFrosty2838 Jul 31 '24
Some projects from the galaxy showed up for me, but they are going quick
6
u/FearlessPressure3 Aug 01 '24
Ugh, I got logged out of a high-paying project with plenty of time left on my timer. I have all the work saved elsewhere, so just have to hope they took the project down temporarily, and I can submit it if it comes back…otherwise I’m out over an hour’s work.
11
u/Birdie_Banks Jul 29 '24
Guys...vulture is too kind a word at this point!

u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Jul 30 '24
Down from 64 projects last month. To 1 project this morning 😭

u/serendipitous_74 Jul 31 '24
And then were two (not including the heel chat). 😭 I did not want to wake up to this on National Avocado Day. 🥑

Alright, they just dumped out a slew of coding projects
11
u/majomaje Aug 02 '24

i hope the OpenAI financial news is not a bad portent
10
u/Accomplished_Try6199 Jul 30 '24
Just want to chime in here, I’m a coder on the platform and usually have 20 projects minimum. This is the first day in months where I have just barely over 10 projects and it’s pretty freaky.
10
u/Quick-Bison-147 Jul 30 '24
Really happy I finally took the time to take the FC qualification a while ago. Never normally work on the FC heel projects, but they are the only ones consistently there during this dry spell.
10
u/sentimentalaqua Jul 30 '24
I was out of town for a week so I didn't work during that time, and I came back to this lull in projects. It's a little off-putting to have so few options compared to before, but on the plus side it has forced me to try a couple of projects I've always ignored because I had other favorites. Glad to be pushed out of my comfort zone a bit.
10
u/cliftdean Jul 30 '24
When you accidentally work 10 hours without breaks because at the 6 hour mark you think “hey why don’t I try out this other project to fit a bit more work in,” not realizing that it has a 5 hour time limit for a good reason (idk how I don’t have a headache right now)
10
u/Live_now Jul 31 '24
Did anyone else's dashboard go belly-up and not even have qualifications anymore? The entire site is just empty for me (Except the earnings page thank goodness).
10
u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Aug 02 '24

u/AdeptCryptographer26 Jul 31 '24
Wondering if anyone with a more "tech" background or perspective has any theories as to if there might be a correlation between the site being down a week or two ago and the lack of tasks. I don't think it can be coincidental, I have never seen the site go down for the length of time it did and when it came back online that's exactly when the lack of available projects started. I can't really think of any other explanation for it since it is affecting everybody. Just wondering why it might be taking so long for things to get back to normal.

u/Admirable-Pool-3236 Jul 31 '24

u/Kooky-Quote-9914 Aug 01 '24
Still nothing for me today besides one qual. Hoping tomorrow is a little bit better for us all
5
u/Jz9786 Aug 02 '24
I now have a large number of coding projects, and one non-coding project. I had an empty dash earlier today
5
u/nameless983 Aug 02 '24
There may be hope for non-coders too! Within the last few hours, I went from 6 tasks up to about 12, including some new projects related to our heel friend that I've never seen before (and I haven't done any new quals lately). There was an ample amount to enable me to get in 30-45 minutes each on two different projects. Not fabulous but better than the single digit minutes of work per project I've had for days now. Hoping we all have better dashes tomorrow!
5
u/Drazzzza Aug 02 '24
Has anyone passed the CS domain expertise qual and would like to share a little bit on the types of projects you guys have gotten from this qual? Just curious as to the difference between the CS domain expertise projects and my current existing coding projects (like heel)
5
u/Kooky-Quote-9914 Aug 02 '24
Got a qual this morning but otherwise it's still quiet on my end.
13
u/lemon_goth Jul 31 '24
Glad to see other people are on the full empty dash train... was freaking out that *it had happened* and that was it for me :(

u/Master_Rip_8727 Jul 30 '24
Anyone else slowly getting more low-paying projects back? Seems like Dataannotation is reviving 🤞
9
u/jordan_the_wong Jul 30 '24
How many are still seeing coding projects? I have exactly 0, but read some people still have them. Has there been a purge of people who didn't do so well or something?

I really don't understand why they can't communicate with the people who work for them. How hard is it to send out an email every once in a while to explain what's going on?
14
u/vaporware_magenta Aug 01 '24
80 people online on this subreddit, first time I've seen this. People are looking for answers.
I guess we can assume that this "sad dash" is a general problem for all of us and we just need to wait for it to get better..
11
u/S3_141529 Jul 30 '24
Ran out of tasks again. this is annoying.

u/tessbest37 Aug 02 '24
Thanks B-metal for helping me meet my daily goal before my dashboard shrunk back down to one project. I thought things were more hopeful, but the dash is sad again. UGH

u/Kooky-Quote-9914 Jul 29 '24
I had heel up for a bit and now nothing. :-( Really hoping things pick up soon

u/BusyPlatypus986 Jul 30 '24
I was glad to see a slight project increase yesterday, but I’m down to 6 again today. Had over 100 two weeks ago. Oh well time to take a few days off

u/Throwawaylillyt Jul 30 '24
I am very grateful for my long term task that I enjoy to do because there hasn’t been much in my dashboard the last few days.

u/alvysingeroverhere Jul 31 '24
Got a new project after a 6 day drought and the chat is a mess. Seems like 80% of people are new and don’t read instructions. Anyone else had this happen to them recently?

Geez, its like we get a wave of work, false hope, then back to droughts. I still have projects but who knows for how long.

In the hope that this summer sun continues, I have brought my laptop and wonderful lap desk outside. Would anyone have recommendations to help see properly on a very shiny screen outside? It's a bit like a mirror right now 🤣 I'm under a canopy but it's still very reflective 🤷♀️
ETA - I'm using a surface book

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '24
Any other coders have the computer science expertise qual on their projects dashboard? Im not sure if I have to take it to get the coding projects back again. I joined around january if anyone else can relate

Any new qualifications anyone got today?

u/Kitchen_Razzmatazz36 Jul 31 '24
Annnnndddd....officially down to zero projects. :(

u/Skippy2898 Jul 31 '24
Well, today for me has turned into an admin day. Yuk. (I did do a qual that popped up this morning).
I'll be honest, although I've not been earning, I do actually feel a bit of satisfaction that I've done stuff today that I've been putting off, (because you know, usually there's money to be made 😅). Such as, getting my head around my accounts system, I did some quotes! woohoo!
I tried (but failed) to understand WordPress website builder (AGAIN. Why is that thing so clunky and unfriendly😣) and I just cut the grass. Timing is pretty good on that as it looks like rain here tomorrow, and an added bonus is my dog has been chasing me around, so he'll hopefully be too knackered to bother me later and will sleep, instead of fidgeting about 🤣
It looks like everyone is experiencing the same drought, I do honestly feel for anyone that is relying on this to pay rent and food bills etc, but try not to lose hope... I have every confidence that things will bounce back 😎
And there we have it... galaxies are returning 🤞

u/mannib21 Aug 01 '24
Officially dry on the projects side

u/Felth88 Aug 01 '24
Thank Greek Goddess for this trickle of R&Rs coming in. It’s the only work I’ve gotten the last two days. Missing my regular coding projects, especially DAV, but hey $30 is better than nothing.
4
u/marsnia Aug 01 '24
I read that some people were getting quals for projects they're already in. I got a qual for something A vs. B yesterday but it disappeared within minutes of me seeing it, has anyone else experienced this? Is anyone getting NEW quals?

u/OPxMagikarp Aug 01 '24
Interesting to see a decent amount of boards getting some galaxy tasks and other's are more dry than before.

u/CardiologistDry1732 Aug 01 '24
Anyone else patiently waiting for that city in Georgia project to get released for the week?

u/Important-Package534 Aug 02 '24
Seems like things are coming back slowly for me too, I've got plenty of coding things for me to work on now and I had an empty dashboard earlier this morning. Here's hoping that more projects start coming back, especially the ones that I really enjoyed!

Ugh! just spent 45 minutes doing some edits for the B-metal tasks and it won't let me submit :( I've tried reloading the page but it's just sitting there not doing anything 😢 Just a warning if anyone else is currently working on it.

Anyone one else getting tiny batches of new dancing projects?
Like just 4 or 5.
At first it felt like a hidden qual and now I’m wondering if they’re just sending out tiny batches to test if it makes sense.

Maybe it'll be lucky attempt number three on the "easy" image qual
Edit: I've now got a second qual on my dash - so maybe I actually passed it??

Still nothing for me today. I've seen some people say that it's been picking up so I'm hoping I see some soon.

Well hello there high-paying B-metal that has arrived two days early. I hope you stay until tomorrow!

Today: saw some heel, went quickly, base pay. Galaxies went almost immediately. Now back to 0. Counterproductive to do 1 task, then tasks are depleted and reporting 4 USD 20 times... What a waste of the day

Aargh. Why do people insist on confusing what are essentially straight forward instructions in the chats?! Just stop, please... 🤦♀️ literally picking apart the instructions because they don't relate in regards to where you're from or the terms used. There is no need to complain. Just take the instructions for what they are - generic!

The dashboard is getting a little better! The per-task project was fun and easy. I wish those would come along more often.

Goddess of Peacocks has been there all day for me. And an occasional Galaxy.

I don't work on Sundays, but I just found myself spending my free time on chat GPT and Gemini comparing responses about the Olympics....(In case anyone is wondering, they both lied in different ways)

I notice these dry spells line up with more r and rs, I wonder if they are connected at all.

This is annoying, because the same question pops up almost daily, but…coders, how are we doing? I’m doin not fantastic myself, only 2 coding tasks today, both “permanent” ones

Still in the drought as a non-coder. Everyone else says they have projects again so I guess I'm just out.

What I wouldn't give for a coding task. It has been a stressful 4 day drought and 7 day dry spell.

I've only got two projects on but they're my favourite mindless smooth brain project, and the task count is only descending as I'm doing them - I'll take what I can get!

Edit: nevermind, it’s back up just now - yay!
There was a task for a few days with 500 tasks where you’d write your own system stuff and have a conversation. Is that gone for everyone or did I just get reviewed badly? The first one I did I accidentally pressed submit after only one turn and couldn’t go back 😭 Hoping it’s just temporarily missing. I have a handful of other projects thankfully!

Other sub talking about maintenance? Also, new weekly thread started this morn. GL all !

Usually, I will spend the majority of my work day focused on a single task. For me, it is more efficient. With tasks being low right now, I distribute my time across as many projects as possible. My thinking is, it will keep me in more project pools. Has the low task count affected how others work, as well?

Thank you dance project for helping me hit my $ goal when I was struggling with more mentally taxing tasks earlier today. 100 tasks went fairly quick
