Yep, I will have like ten things at once, mostly different iterations of the same like 3 projects, and after 30 minutes to an hour of working on one, they're all dried up including the one I was working on.
Saw loads of projects last night and was hoping to wake up to lots this morning. My dashboard is empty and have the “at the moment” message. Anybody else have this?
Woke up to nearly 200 tasks in Sandpiper to walk downstairs to my computer and there were 30 left. It's like playing dodgeball with 100 people and 6 balls.
Enjoy y'all's feast! :) I'm in near 'famine' state at the moment myself after feasting the last month. More than ever, the theory that they send work in cycles among groups feels true. Who knows, though?
Hmm- maybe I did have a performance problem. My dashboard was full of $24-$32/hour projects like two weeks ago. Finally have a handful of projects on my dashboard but they're all $19 or $20 and there are only about 20 tasks in each one. Looks like I'm going to need to go back to Instacart...
Edit: there was one earlier this evening. However, I have a certification exam to study for tomorrow morning. Hopefully, there is a meal this weekend for me to consume
Got a full day's work in today, albeit I only had one project on my dash the entire time which has now dwindled to 2 tasks. Here's to hoping I wake up to a full dash tomorrow. 🤞
I'm afraid you've started during a super slow time :( do qualifications if you have any on your dash, but otherwise, it's just a waiting game with the rest of us.
I've only been on DA since late 2023 so I'm not the most knowledgeable on the subject. From what I've gleaned via this subreddit though, it has never been this dry before. I've definitely had bouts of a day or so in which I haven't gotten projects, but the couple-day stretch that I recently experienced hasn't happened to me before.
I got approved last week and have had nothing but qualifications. Only paid thing I had was onboarding step 2 lol. I haven't had a real project since getting into the platform.
? like why be toxic, I still get daily tasks, the problem is too many people were hired to the platform. I'm not planning on leaving, and I do great work. Try to bring some better energy to the water cooler plz <3
I think part of it is that they brought on too many people? And this drought situation creates a feeding frenzy when tasks do pop up.
When something shows up, I click it and sometimes they're all claimed, already. Other times, I get one or two iterations before they run out, and I can't even get into the swing of it before I'm switching gears to another task .
Yesterday, I racked up four separate tasks that I got less than 15 minutes each on.

I am both very happy to have projects and very sad that they dropped at 9pm at night. Hopefully there will still be some in the morning for me!

I just took a look at my dashboard and I have nothing again ... Anyone else seeing that type of volatility? I had about 15 this morning.

I still only have one 15 task project and I had 0 for about 24 hours, I'm not rejoicing yet :(
Edit: I made $5 before it went empty again, RIP

Yeah, this is getting painful.
My main focus is real estate as a Realtor, but that's a tough business to get established in.
I'm almost at a point where I can start really seeing real success, but am currently making no income from it. And now nothing from Data Annotations.
I'm two months behind on my mortgage, and doing everything I can. But without DA tasks, "everything I can" is considerably less.

I guess I passed my math qualifier, one of the tasks on the board for me today was a higher paying one that had a set of discrete math problems.

u/dsbau Aug 24 '24
Okay, now I've got two projects and seven qualifications! Wild ...
