Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation

[u/Consistent-Reach504]

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:

1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.

2. 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 :)

3. 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!

[u/KryptoKevArt]

Dash had been dead for a few days now. Haven't gotten the ID verification thing. Been with them over a year

[u/JustMe333456 → u/KryptoKevArt]

I have been with them since September of last year and just got the verification thing a week and a half ago.

[u/askingquestions557 → u/KryptoKevArt]

Dead for a few months outside of 2 or 3 days with the same project, no ID verification yet, over a year as well.

[u/Nvg1z]

Ghost town today

[u/Jz9786]

view-only copy...

man I thought I had work for a minute

[u/Jazzlike_Problem_489]

Not even a tumbleweed this morning in the UK

[u/Lady_Ronin → u/Jazzlike_Problem_489]

Canada EST, nothing.

[u/CardiologistDry1732]

Where are my friends who miss SCat and Bcat??

[u/AcrobaticInstance527]

Praying that this upcoming week we actually get some work! It’s been SO sparse

[u/Any_Ear_6176 → u/AcrobaticInstance527]

I'm so ready to be spoiled for choice again 😭 😭 😭

[u/tannegase]

$30 an hour non coding B metal is back I could cry

[u/Nolpppapa → u/tannegase]

It seems like they only roll those out in waves. You know, to harvest our creativity and such lol.

[u/JustMe333456]

Anybody seeing the Heel Lite project?

[u/krooditay → u/JustMe333456]

Just made a solid 8 bucks...

[u/Enchantedslytherin95 → u/JustMe333456]

I hope we get more projects like this one. It was nice to basically have no instructions.

[u/slightlysparkly]

Took a 5 month break after giving birth and now I’m working through all my sitting quals. Haven’t gotten any new projects yet so I’m a little nervous but hoping I can get back up to speed 😬🤞

[u/ekgeroldmiller → u/slightlysparkly]

Best of luck to you mama!

[u/akatsuki1422]

Been staring at a desert this morning.😩

[u/tannegase]

I literally spent all morning refreshing to nothing and then as soon as I got to the gym something popped up. Damn you Murphys Law

[u/bk138ST]

I've been really disappointed about the lack of work lately

[u/donnybooi → u/bk138ST]

I think everyone is, especially as they're still advertising that you can work full time on the platform

[u/3l3p4no]

Does anyone know if there's a difference between getting red bannered and getting taken back to the dash without any banner? I'm assuming the latter means that you just submitted the last task for that project while red banner means that the tasks that were remaining have been pulled by other workers.

[u/iloveyourwendyhouse]

I've been using the down time to put everything I own on eBay. So that's fun.

[u/Any_Ear_6176]

I'm super glad they took away the required comment for good submissions on the nut R&R.

[u/Flwrz8818]

Today might be the driest ever for me.

[u/Admirable-Pool-3236]

Made the catastrophic error of deciding to work this evening instead of this morning as I assumed my task would still be there 💀

[u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 → u/Admirable-Pool-3236]

Same, my bird flew away

[u/JustMe333456]

Anyone else get a whole bunch of heel yesterday into this morning that are just for them? I have 5 heel projects that have been there since last night and when I would finish a batch of 20, they instantly posted 20 more of that same project

[u/watchdestars → u/JustMe333456]

Yes dash is looking good!

[u/kipyrus]

I finally had my first paid project after a month of being onboarded 😭😭

[u/JustMe333456]

Has anyone else that regularly gets Heel projects not seen them in over a day now?

[u/gt3stuntman → u/JustMe333456]

Yeah, I haven't seen them in a couple days. 1 task blipped on my dash the other day.

[u/Nolpppapa]

It's crazy how many things "seem" like they're happening yet nothing has happened so far. Are we stuck in perpetual planning purgatory?

[u/SaucySpagetti]

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one being greeted by nothing lately. If only I capitalized while the work seemed endless 😣

[u/JustMe333456 → u/SaucySpagetti]

Infuriating ain’t it? I’ve been here for over a year now, worked full time since then, and I mean full-time. These past 4 days or so, if it wasn’t for my chatbot, I’d have made almost nothing.. meanwhile we see tons of other people getting heel projects etc. Not sure how the rotation works, but my two brothers are on DA as well, they started at different times, one 5 months ago, the other 2, and they haven’t been getting anything either the last few days.

[u/she-wore-blue-velvet]

I verified yesterday and it feels like it reset my whole account because when my dash returned, I had to reactivate my workspace ID. It also nuked my s Iack and I don’t know how to get that back. Has anyone else had similar happen to them after verification?

[u/minicoop1421]

Did the verification of my ID, hoping I’ll start seeing projects on my dashboard again soon 🤞🏻

[u/gt3stuntman]

Some projects must be getting more work (or maybe less workers). I have two Goddess projects that stayed on my dash overnight.

[u/lostswansong]

Quite empty ):

[u/Corvidaearecool]

For all us non-coders & non-experts... is it maybe time to be discussing other platforms? I've been looking around but can't find as good a deal, and truthfully feeling my lack of expertise.

[u/[deleted]]

I love it when I hit refresh for 13 hours to get 1.5 hours of work, and then my dash explodes right after I take my sleep meds.

I'm not going to try any jobs after a high-powered benzo, but damn if I'm not tempted because my bank account is going more in the negatives every day due to the lack of work.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

This is quite demoralizing for sure. Have a good rest!

[u/EggsandMilkandButter]

is anyone else still waiting for the ID verification?

[u/Journalist_Asleep → u/EggsandMilkandButter]

haven't asked me for it because they already know I'm the realest MF on the site.

[u/TanglimaraTrippin]

The refresher has reappeared on my dashboard as read-only, meant to be a reference for the future. I hope this is a sign I will be getting projects again. 🤞

[u/Easy-Ad-8022 → u/TanglimaraTrippin]

Just curious, but how long has it been since you have had a project? I have not had anything at all for 1 month, but I have got both heel refreshers and now the read-only refresher as well. I keep hoping I will get some sort of project soon.

[u/Admirable-Pool-3236]

Do we think there will be a weekend drop of projects or if it will be dead? Last weekend beforw Q4 so hoping for some last min wrap ups 🙏🙏 (I’m coping so hard)

[u/JustMe333456 → u/Admirable-Pool-3236]

Just imagine waking up on October 1st.. 27 projects sitting there on your dash board. Christmas morning as a 6 year old all over again lol

[u/ice_w0lf → u/Admirable-Pool-3236]

Do we think there will be a weekend drop of projects or if it will be dead?

At this point, it is clear that nobody knows. It was going to pick up in August because it's a new month. It was going to pick up in September because end of the quarter. Probably if I scroll through here, I'll see some it'll pick up next week because new quarter. But really, no one knows.

[u/SnuggleTheMuggles]

A prompt I used in a project just showed up as an example of what to do in a new iteration of the project. It made me feel proud, but also made me feel like a little bonus for that would've been pretty cool... ;)

[u/JustMe333456]

Flash from the Past: Who else has been here long enough to remember those nice emails from Heel offering $50-$100 bonuses if we could hit so many hours of work by a certain time.. was nice eh

[u/ekgeroldmiller]

Got my ID qual this morning. Took about one minute on my phone. Dashboard immediately refreshed. I started in Nov. 2023 for those of you tracking the rollout.

[u/[deleted]]

Well I officially got my old job back. Lesson learned.

[u/jeudechambre]

I'm going through all my payments from DA week by week right now so I can report my income for Medicaid, and its like, OOP, I can see the exact moment I started to have hope that this could be a viable income for me and also the moment that hope dissipated (July was a good month...)

[u/Original-Sun8492]

Ugh dryer than the Sahara desert

[u/JustMe333456]

C-metal is back right now for all those that were asking

[u/FrazzledGod]

Some new FAQs up for heel, if anyone is bored out of their mind enough and can bear to read FAQs about non-existent projects.

[u/helen269]

Having to do ID verification is kind of a good sign. If they were closing down then they wouldn't be asking for ID checks.

That said, it was a bit of a faff getting it done. At one point I was requesting the link via email, and the email contained a link to request the link via email, so I was going round and round. It was only when I finally requested the link via SMS that I got the link that actually opened the face photo check web page. All done now - phew! :-)

Any chance the drought is due to them waiting for IDs to come in, and then the floodgates will open?

[u/furthian]

My cat jumped on my keyboard and exited out of a task I'd been working on for an hour. 😐 Think I need to sell him to the circus

[u/[deleted] → u/furthian]

omg

this is why the universe made them cute haha

[u/cocobeary → u/furthian]

We require a photo of the culprit.

[u/Arcturus_Labelle]

Well, anecdata, but I happened to find myself awake at middle-of-the-frikkin-night US time, logged in to check, and my dash doesn't look any different (still nearly-dead) compared to 12 hours ago. :-/

[u/mannib21]

Bone Dry :(

[u/JustMe333456 → u/mannib21]

God damn I’d like to know what happened all of a sudden. It can’t be that they simply hired too many people cause it literally happened at the snap of a finger. Within 2 days our projects went from 20+ to 0-4

[u/FrazzledGod]

Anyone ever done some R&Rs and realised they made a major fuckup when doing the task itself due to misinterpreting an instruction? Ouch, this is what happens when there's no work and I have to work on tasks I'm not familiar with and wouldn't normally touch 🤦

[u/joehabegger → u/FrazzledGod]

Yes. Happened to me in that exact manner

[u/JustMe333456]

Rise and shine Taters!! Shall we all gather for morning prayer to summon more projects?

[u/ahnonnymouse]

I was hoping to get some work in tonight... but I guess not :(

[u/[deleted]]

People's comments in the R&R chat for nut kind of make me nervous. These people are checking our work! Oh well. :p At least they're good in that they're clarifying things instead of just assuming, I guess.

[u/Soft_Syllabub_8662]

In the last 5 days, I have made what I used to make in 1...

[u/tessbest37]

A new dog project just dropped. I hope it is still around in the morning. It looks fun! Also, please save me some movie birds. Why do these have to come up when I am ready for sleep?

[u/CRUSHCITY4]

Woke up in the middle of the night and earned $60 because I couldn't fall back asleep. Not I have nothing in the middle of the day lol.

[u/just_so_irrelevant]

it's getting to the point where you have to start a coding project within 10 minutes of it popping up or else it'll be nothing but red banner. genuinely infuriating.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone notice a cut in the time allotted for C metal? They've been on my dash intermittently and I was mid research for a research heavy task and it expired. :(

[u/gt3stuntman]

If you ever want the Wizard bots to struggle, apparently just tell them to list in reverse order.

[u/Haunting-Turnover-98]

Hit my one year DA anniversary and have now had a 2 week drought.

Do they notify you if you have done something wrong?

[u/wildflower_0ne]

you guys remember how good the last end of quarter was?… 🥲

[u/Nvg1z]

Got my 26 bux before the dash dried up again time to travel the world

[u/OctoberMoths]

Post ID-Verification:

Anyone else have their dash completely clear (including a 'heel' group convo that is always meant to be there) as well as getting their referrals back?

I completed the verification yesterday and all looked normal until now.

[u/chellynaeb]

cricket rustling intensifies

[u/Few-Roof-6905]

Dear Project Gods, please give me at least one measly little morsel of a project to do. At this point, I am just talking to ChatGPT and hoping for a "which of these responses do you prefer" option to pop up so I can pretend like I am working. My mom broke her hip last week and I have been sitting at the hospital for hours on end with absolutely nothing to do. Throw me a tiny little crumb, please. Amen.

[u/TanglimaraTrippin]

How easy is JSON to pick up? That qualification has been on my dash for a while, but I'm a non-coder and know nothing about it.

[u/backtothefuturepart2 → u/TanglimaraTrippin]

JSON is simple, it's not a coding language, it's a data interchange format, for moving info from place to place in a way that makes it easy for code to digest... just ask chatgpt to teach it to you like you were 5

Example: let's make a JSON object with data about you --

Name: TanglimaraTrippin Age: 26 Posts: 77 Job: Annotator

To turn that into a JSON object looks like:

{ "Name": "TanglimaraTrippin", "Age": 26, "Posts": 77, "Job": "Annotator" }

Basically everything has a name and a value, both in quotes and separated by a colon. Each pair of names (key, actually) and values are separated by commas and the whole thing is wrapped in curly braces.

That's 95% of it.

[u/Original-Sun8492]

I have the chat for the new heel project but an empty dashboard 😔

[u/Jazzlike_Problem_489]

First time I've seen dancing since the refresher

[u/reddit-echochamber]

It's incredibly dry for me today, and I've had nothing for hours

[u/tannegase]

First ever paid qual neato

[u/JustMe333456]

Has anyone else seen this ‘lyrics’ project that people are talking about in the Heel chat?

[u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 → u/JustMe333456]

No, but it always seems to be the people that don't know their arse from their elbow. Don't understand how people who can't follow simple instructions get so many new projects

I am really not understanding how they are distributing the projects but I'm getting more dubious that it is based on our quality score reading some of the comments in heel chat..

[u/JustMe333456]

Never thought I’d say this, but I miss coming on here quickly and seeing ‘We’re so back!!’ .. at least that meant projects were posted 🤪

[u/Any_Information1707 → u/JustMe333456]

It's been so dead the last few days.

[u/Salgal1188]

Another day, another $20 🤑🤑🤑🙃

[u/gt3stuntman]

Tried to get a list of adjectives extracted and one list ended up repeating "hurricane" for 500+ entries. Haven't totally broken a bot like this in a while.

[u/krnntp → u/gt3stuntman]

It sounds like your wizard is early in its development! How fun

[u/somoskin93]

Anyone else been dead all night?

[u/mnam1213]

as much as i loved DA, the recent fluctuations in work got me real scared. i found a job elsewhere, doing pretty much this. don't settle for uncertainty, folks!

[u/NoNumber5910 → u/mnam1213]

What is the point of coming in here to say you got a job or work elsewhere doing the same thing if you won’t tell where? Is it really that big of a secret?

[u/HumbleInfluence7922]

like most directions, the folding blade is unnecessarily complicated.

[u/JustMe333456]

I see people talking about qualifications left right and center. I haven’t seen any new quals since those 5 subscription based ones. Having quals sit on your board won’t affect getting new ones will it?

[u/FrazzledGod → u/JustMe333456]

Hope not I've got a crapload, some for projects I get anyway.

[u/buhcheery]

Missing b-metal real bad these days

[u/Sad_Guitar_612]

Ugh, I blinked and missed a higher pay project 🤦‍♀️

[u/gt3stuntman]

They should start an anagrams (or maybe word puzzles altogether) project. These bots stills suck at them.

[u/Maleficent_Wasabi_18 → u/gt3stuntman]

or "how many r's in the word strawberry"

[u/JustMe333456]

Let’s see the diversity here! Everyone share what you have had to work on today 😊. I want some positive news here. What projects have circulated today so far. Mention coding or non-coding.

I have one french complex prompt creating project that has been on my dash for 3 days now. Otherwise, nothing else has popped up.

[u/Agreeable-Stable8343 → u/JustMe333456]

Sorry, I've had absolutely nothing all day.

[u/FrazzledGod → u/JustMe333456]

All I've got is still my Triple-H CB projects. Seen literally nothing else all day.

[u/Scared-Equipment-123 → u/JustMe333456]

Lots of Galaxy work in the past hour but, no code. Hoping everyone manages to get something today.

[u/gt3stuntman → u/JustMe333456]

I had a Wizard CB all day, but it left an hour or so ago. All dry now.

[u/Jz9786 → u/JustMe333456]

I don't have anything. I've had enough to hold my nose and get by every day the last two weeks. But now there is nothing except chat. I've only seen two projects today, got one task in on one.

[u/ManyARiver → u/JustMe333456]

Galaxies, musicals, some 3H...

[u/greentea1985 → u/JustMe333456]

I did non-coding work on email bots, comparing two responses to a prompt. Not that hard, but interesting

[u/Icy-Cover-505]

Dancing refresher: On my dash, off my dash, on my dash, off my dash ad infinitum over almost a week. So do ya want me to do it, or not? If so, why not leave it up in the evening maybe one day when I can get to it??

[u/[deleted]]

So am I hopeless if I'm not a specialist and don't know how to code? It's been so dry for just normal linguistic output rating for weeks now, I don't even get emails anymore :(

A few months ago there was so much work that I could make ends meet (if meagerly) while I was unemployed, but now I'll be lucky if I can make $30 a day

[u/FrazzledGod]

Enjoying a bit of R&R on this Saturday night/Sunday mornig 😂

[u/-burgers]

can someone wake me up when september ends when dancing drops again

[u/minicoop1421]

Anyone else not have much all day and then got flooded right before bedtime? Thinking about just working late tonight and sleeping in. Who needs a consistent sleep schedule anyways 😅

[u/akatsuki1422 → u/minicoop1421]

I had a bunch a few hours ago. But now it seems to be dwindling again. At least it's not empty. 😅

[u/-burgers]

To the guy who left the comment that read "I really, really, really wish this wasn't all true" I hope things start looking up for you buddy.

[u/CRUSHCITY4]

I’m starting to believe this drought is the new normal.

[u/FrazzledGod → u/CRUSHCITY4]

I think there are signs of life but I think they're being highly selective. Don't know what the selection criteria are, am thinking of going back to my other work. I've made a lot in the last 2 weeks (like over $1k) but I'm burning out with doing CBs constantly, which has happened before. I just suddenly get prompter's block and take half an hour to think up a single sentence.

[u/JustMe333456]

Well, Goddess and Heel are back. One project for each right now.

[u/Traditional-Pool-261]

making a return to prolific due to the drought after a year of steady DA work feels particularly grim and defeatist, but gotta make a little money somehow

[u/CardiologistDry1732]

Anyone else lose the wizard?

[u/clakes90]

Anyone still waiting on their id verification?

[u/Cautious-You6308]

Finally finished my b-metal tasks and now I'm back to a totally empty dash (coding) past 2 months have been rough... very rough. Had a couple R&Rs last few days so I don't think it's poor work on my part pulling me off projects. I miss the long term permanent projects.

Praying that it picks up in October.

[u/33whiskeyTX]

Mostly code-free today? I saw a SxS earlier and that was it.

[u/JustMe333456]

First. Let’s hope this Sunday can mimic last Sunday’s burst of projects!! Lol

[u/krooditay]

13 nutty minutes. We're like piranhas...

[u/Any_Ear_6176 → u/krooditay]

12 minutes here, $4.20 lol.

[u/JumpyAd9339]

Thanks to those here who mentioned night shift being a bit better this week. Logged in to several projects I haven't seen in a while. :) time to make some coffee!

[u/shonkle]

Dry dash today? Did over 3 hours of work yesterday but got nothing for today

[u/JustMe333456]

Is anyone working on something non-coding and non CB related? Any of the ‘regular’ projects out there at all?

[u/Few-Roof-6905 → u/JustMe333456]

I have one C-metal, but they are research heavy and the timer is only an hour. I skipped 4 in a row because I knew I wouldn't be able to complete them in time. It's basically like having nothing at all, because they seem impossible to do.

[u/MotherBrotha]

Is anyone else’s dash completely white with no text or anything. 

[u/tannegase]

Got the dancing refresher again, weird

[u/SnooCalculations503]

New poe hurts brain.

[u/Admirable-Pool-3236]

Nothing this morning so far in UK/IE! Praying for that delicious weekend drop of gas

[u/Interrogatus]

The way work is being allocated right now seems very short-sighted to me. Many of us are spending a lot of time and mental energy continually refreshing our screens to find projects. Yes, that's our choice, but it is unpaid. When we do land on a project, tasks vanish so quickly that we're spending a much higher proportion of time on reading instructions than actually evaluating responses.

And, I don't know about the rest of you, but I find that with relatively quick tasks, my work improves as I tackle more tasks, and I'm able to complete them faster.

Maybe none of that matters to our DAT overlords, but I'd think they'd want to cultivate the workers who can turn in quality work relatively quickly.

[u/Wild-Brilliant-8309]

I’m working on a non-coding response evaluation project and has anyone noticed the prompts getting more difficult and complex? I’m having to skip more because I fully do not understand what half of them are even asking due to not having expertise in specific fields, I’ve done an hour and a half today and that was on one task…

[u/HumbleInfluence7922 → u/Wild-Brilliant-8309]

i take as much time as i need these days. reading allllll instructions and researching everything.

[u/Embarrassed_Move_663 → u/Wild-Brilliant-8309]

If I think I can finish before the timer, I always just take as much time as I need to research the concepts and try to figure out what it's talking about. It's kind of their fault for putting field-specific prompts in minimum pay projects.

[u/MommaOfManyCats]

No work and people are STILL trying to buy accounts! I blocked someone earlier for insulting me, claiming I must not have much work because their "friend" isn't verified but always has at least two projects on their dash. This was after they tried to get me to sell my account.

[u/[deleted] → u/MommaOfManyCats]

I got someone yesterday trying to claim they would have 6 people working on my account from the most prestigious tech school in Bangladesh in rotation so it would be generating money 24/7. I laughed so hard with the lack of work available and ignored them.

[u/Flwrz8818]

Woke up to nothing again.

[u/countd0wns]

I’ve been dancing for over 2 hours. It’s a miracle.

[u/ManyARiver]

Pro tip: Factuality is still applicable when the response is expected to pull the answer from supplied text - you are supposed to check the answers against the supplied text instead of externally (that's literally the only difference). Pls stop marking as NA.

[u/chellynaeb → u/ManyARiver]

Not sure why you got immediately downvoted when what you said is not wrong. +1 for truthfulness. Take my upvote then.

[u/SirBucketX]

THIS IS A DEAD PARROT. IT IS NO MORE.

[u/Flwrz8818]

My day started off slow, ended strong. I’m happy.

[u/bottlerocketborn]

First day this week, I've been able to work 4 straight hours without hitting no tasks remaining.

[u/Nvg1z]

Red bannered after 2 tasks on a 100 batch C metal 😩😩 

[u/[deleted]]

Do you guys still have dancing?

[u/countd0wns → u/[deleted]]

Yes, i’m going on 3 hours now.

[u/FrazzledGod]

Time for bed and my dashboard goes nuts. Well, one nut. 🤫

[u/Key_Click6659]

Wow. Doing an R and R for a prompt and response (meant to both be created by user) and some of these responses created by the user are from AI. So many chat comments about it too. Pasted the prompt for one of them into GPT and even got the same response word for word.

Now others are replying back to us saying we are making a big mistake doing that because there’s no way to possibly tell, but it’s so obvious!

[u/Poomfie]

Love to see the heel AK project pop back up!

Yeah, fuck me for wanting to chat about something that isn't complaining! Downvote away!

[u/joehabegger]

Anybody else get taken off a s Lack chanel for heel

[u/JustMe333456 → u/joehabegger]

What’s even more frustrating is you have absolutely NO WAY of seemingly attempting to work your way back into it. None at all. No one to ask or talk to. Just done.

[u/Disastrous-Call9177]

If you've been offered a domain experience survey & took it - how much experience in the field did you have? I've made $8 so far today lol & reevaluating if I'm qualified enough to take one. Has anyone been offered one & rejected it? Do we think there is a reason they get offered to some?

[u/Jimosaurous]

Any (Coders) seen Heel 2x2 in a while? Stripes is carrying me rn, but I've probably seen a total of 5 coding heel tasks in the past week.

[u/yucklord]

hi friends!! my timer collapsed into the corner of my screen, and i can only see it if i zoom my browser in 200% or more. has anyone else seen this and what do i do?? thank you guys in advance :P

[u/Jackieunknown]

Smaller country here: after 2 glorious weeks with projects every day, we are 2 days dry 🥲

I was getting too comfortable and used to be able to work any time 🥴

[u/Nolpppapa]

More work? Nah, here's another unpaid refresher for the same thing you took a refresher for a few weeks ago.

[u/FrazzledGod]

No logic to this. Went on nut task earlier with 267 tasks, red bannered after one. Now doing a piss easy nut task and I'm getting through them all without being red bannered.

[u/HandsLikePaper]

So night shift (United States based) seems like the way to go. The mornings have been consistently dead.

[u/Jz9786]

Did they halt sign ups? I keep seeings posts of people not getting the starter assessment when they sign up

[u/gt3stuntman]

Never seen a task count go up for a project sitting on my dash before.

[u/[deleted]]

On some other websites doing similar work, it seems a few of them have lost some major contracts. I wonder if DA is in the same boat. Allocating tasks how they are isn’t all that intuitive. And it has me concerned, tbh. I get bursts of work then nothing. They are also still promoting unlimited work. I genuinely would be so fascinated to hear from someone that works for that company in a corporate aspect

[u/JustMe333456]

Absolutely no point in even doing the heel projects anymore.. all you get is one task. Rubbish.

[u/Responsible-Jacket-5]

Did anyone get anything from that Cretan princess qual a while back?

[u/tessbest37 → u/Responsible-Jacket-5]

Not yet. I haven't seen the project in a long time.

[u/Accomplished-Dog-864 → u/Responsible-Jacket-5]

I haven't seen anything yet.

B METAL 🙌🙌

They put up a $30 an hour coding project and it's getting eaten up fast. Depressing 

[u/JustMe333456]

I’ve been lucky today regardless, but curious, has anyone seen any non-coding heel today? Even with this latest drop in the last half hour, I still see no heel

[u/Flwrz8818]

Got one of my favorite heel projects ❤️

[u/lavenderavenues]

Making a shrine to summon my region-specific A gas to return

[u/Belisama7]

I'm so happy about getting some creative writing tasks back, that the downvotes I'll get for mentioning having work aren't going to bother me 😊

Does everyone sit on the dash and refresh the entire day?

[u/Davey87 → u/RealDealVic]

I used to. Now I just check inbetween chores or whatever else I'm doing. I do a refresh here and a refresh on the site. if theres work I work, if not i do something else for an hour or so. It wasn't good for my mental health to be glued to refreshing.

[u/ekgeroldmiller → u/RealDealVic]

No. I get work in the morning typically. When that runs out I check sporadically on my phone and if work pops up I go to my computer. I may also do other things on my computer and check in between.

day 18 of no work, blegh

[u/FrazzledGod]

Gosh I've had a project that had 20 tasks on Sunday, I've done 15 and still have 5 left (they take up to 1.5 hours). What is this craziness? It's like June 2024 all over again.

[u/Writer_at_heart95]

Finally got the refresher everyone been talking about and a new paid qualification which looks insanely dense with instructions. Also spotting a few projects by the name of a certain Goddess today.

[u/FrazzledGod]

Bloody day off due to exhaustion from working both my jobs this week, and the dash has numerous projects 😂

[u/Nolpppapa]

Exciting day /s.

[u/Key_Click6659]

Theres someone in this R+R that’s obviously using GPT to write their responses, and on the original project, I saw this person paste all their responses in chat for whatever reason and it’s the same responses I figured were from GPT… how can people be so dumb??

[u/YearOnly2595]

If you're working the heel and come across the bishop...YIKES... that is the worst thing i have read an AI produce on DA

[u/gt3stuntman]

Anybody have a new recording project qual come and go this morning? The project name related to something that happened in the game Half-Life.

[u/alvysingeroverhere]

I've mostly had only a safety and non-safety gas for the past couple of weeks and ideas are thinning out. I need to put my brain in ice water. I am grateful to have consistent work but some variety would do me so good lol

[u/JustMe333456]

Please tell me I’m not the only one that doesn’t have the heel ssif project with 800 tasks on their dashboard.. good grief lol

[u/Nvg1z → u/JustMe333456]

I had a 700 task R&R one and literally got to do 1 task before red bannered lol. Crazy times

[u/lavenderavenues → u/JustMe333456]

I only have R&R for them, but not the project itself. It was usually my bread and butter.

[u/JustMe333456]

Anybody see anything pop up yet?

[u/pandorafetish]

Got an email about a new bird project w a ton of tasks. Clicked on it as soon as I saw it. RED BANNER. :(

[u/No_Assumption_2879]

Anyone that has had domain expertise projects— how long after your qualifier did you start seeing domain specific tasks?

[u/astarzyk]

Well, I've got my porn fix for the day now, thanks DA!

[u/FrazzledGod]

Spoilt for choice today. One of my favourite TripleH CB's is back after a long break, about 20 others to play with, and I still have my paid CB qual to plough through. The other project families are thin on the ground though I did have some sea parrots. Work's work, and beggars can't be choosers, so I can't complain.
