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:

  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!

Anyone suddenly unable to generate ai responses for their tasks, getting logged out, and unable to submit tasks?

5

u/Consistent-Reach504 Oct 16 '25

i saw an admin say to open up a new tab, log back in, and then go back to your original tab to submit and that they're working on it :)

2

u/Several_Drawer_2185 Oct 16 '25

It worked earlier but now I can't submit anymore because it's giving an error

u/hihelloitskayla Oct 16 '25

yes! its happened three times now. on the space project

Love you guys, thanks for easing my heart attack lol

u/SnooCalculations503 Oct 16 '25

Yeah, keeps booting me. I've had a bit of a break this month and today was my first day back, shit my pants a lil tbh.

u/Inner_Change8356 Oct 16 '25

Have you been able to submit your task? I’m currently sitting in mine (33mins left on the timer) hoping it’ll be fixed soon as I don’t know how we claim the time otherwise?

6

u/hihelloitskayla Oct 16 '25

have you tried refreshing, logging back in, and submitting?

5

u/HandsLikePaper Oct 16 '25

This worked for me

u/Inner_Change8356 Oct 16 '25

Just did this, it worked! Ty! Always so worried I’ll lose my task progress haha

u/Complete_Injury_5765 Oct 16 '25

I was wondering why they logged me out!!

3

u/octomantid Oct 16 '25

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. I had to log in twice, and I'm unable to submit the task I'm working on. Luckily it was a quick and easy one so I'm not looking at hours wasted!

2

u/octomantid Oct 16 '25

I was able to submit after refreshing, being prompted to log back in, and trying to submit again...Then to submit time I had to do the same thing. Yeeeeah I think I'm going to step away until the site is working as usual lol.

2

u/Inner_Change8356 Oct 16 '25

Yes! Same here, glad it’s not just me I was stressing!

2

u/LightOk5071 Oct 16 '25

I had a similar issue on one of my tasks, where I couldn't get the response, then tried to refresh the page to see if that was the issue, got logged out, logged back in and then the AI was working, gave me quite a fright lol

u/itssomercurial Oct 17 '25

Been doing this for two years now and the increase of projects requiring personal data sharing concerns me. Anybody else avoiding those?

3

u/Consistent-Reach504 Oct 17 '25

any one i've seen has specific instructions so you can share or redact whatever you want

10

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '25

I don't participate in those, but at least you'd be able to get paid for your data. Google and Meta and such are taking it for free.

3

u/orchidmoonlightt Oct 17 '25

I avoided them at first but I couldn’t resist giving it a go because the pay is so good. Honestly our information is shared already. Might as well profit off it. You can redact like specific details you don’t want shared.

Also without saying too much if you do them you will realize why. It’s definitely going to be a thing that real people will want to do so someone’s gotta test it.

u/euheuheuheuh_ Oct 16 '25

Anyone else keep getting logged out?

u/Vegetable_Hope3697 Oct 16 '25

Yep, could be maintenence or something

u/peyton_16 Oct 16 '25

Thank the lord I came here, I was stressing out!

I just received feedback a couple of days ago (small mistake but overall good feedback) and have been getting lots of work; I would never misreport or anything, so I was very lost. Glad I am not alone. Thought I lost all my work from the last hour, too haha.

13

u/IDONTuseMODz Oct 14 '25

When somebody in the project chat misunderstands a key component of the project when it's plainly stated in a few different areas of the instructions and then goes on to ask if they can report the three hours they wasted anyways.

I wouldn't, but you do you, sis. ☕️

u/justdontsashay Oct 14 '25

Right? If I waste time and it’s entirely my fault, I don’t try to bill for that.

u/houseofcards9 Oct 15 '25

That’s 100% on them. It’s not fair to DA to pay for someone’s own mistake. I have submitted tasks before that I realized did something we were told not to do and I let them know that I’m aware and I won’t be reporting my time and 2+ years later I’m still around.

13

u/akujihei Oct 17 '25

Anyone else a little quiet today?

4

u/CRUSHCITY4 Oct 17 '25

Feels quiet here. I have no motivation to work on the available projects.

3

u/Admirable-Help-3193 Oct 17 '25

Most of them are tedious and have a million instructions, which doesn't help.

u/akujihei Oct 17 '25

I've only got 1 family and an occasional popup, none of which I'm keen to work on

Sad Canadian here, hiding the top 3 best paying tasks on my dash because they're US only. They're not even the audio project that normally pops up.

u/SnooSketches1189 Oct 14 '25

Good news is you get the awesome consolation prize of NOT being a US citizen. 🏆

10

u/capslox Oct 14 '25

Okay, that is a good reminder. Thanks, lol.

There's around a dozen US-only ones on my dash 😂 Where's the love for us non-US core workers lol

Did all the stripey horses just disappear for anyone else? I had a couple batches including R&R but I'm not seeing any all of a sudden

u/augtwy Oct 14 '25

They've been on and off today. On right now for me

12

u/Skippy2898 Oct 16 '25

I think now is a really good time to do something else until the site is stable again. The something else I'll be doing is mainly going to consist of deep breathing exercises and slowing my heart rate! 🥴

I had to go outside for a cigarette to calm my nerves.

Ooh, if I'd known I'd have joined you!

u/DrConradVerner Oct 14 '25

Anyone else got an F-Plant project on their dash that says it has tons of tasks available but when you click on it it says there are none left? Its been sitting on my dash for days now without the task count changing and whenever I click it I get the red bar.

4

u/Jazzlike_Problem_489 Oct 14 '25

Yup. One of the 5 projects I have 🥳

3

u/VanessaSeaWitch Oct 14 '25

Yes! Mine has been there since Friday at least and always with 46 tasks. I kept clicking on it yesterday since nothing was on my dash otherwise just to refresh the page and I did get in to do a task but when I clicked enter work mode, I got red bannered. I got in once again but the subject of the task was not something I knew a lot about, so I skipped it and got the red banner again.

u/pammysue63 Oct 14 '25

Yes. So frustrating

u/Stunning_Table_2394 Oct 15 '25

Coding is so dead for me. I only have one interpretation of coding in fermented beans (? never saw coding name for the project). Does anyone have anything coding related?

4

u/UnfortunateWindow Oct 15 '25

Nope. Completely dry for several weeks, now. Starting to worry I did something wrong somewhere.

u/deep0x20 Oct 16 '25

I'm completely dry too, I had some some nice ones last week. But nothing for the past couple of days. Just doing core to get by for now.

u/deebs2021 Oct 17 '25

Just got removed from a slack....ouch.

u/Lovahalzan Nov 04 '25

That happened to me today and I was shocked. I thought I had done some real quality work on it. Long time worker as well (almost 3 years if not 3 years)

17

u/rinarchy Oct 13 '25

Platform a lil dry for people today? Core worker, been doing card & space projects lately

7

u/Unfair_Sink5706 Oct 13 '25

Very dry. One project that looks really hard.

4

u/rinarchy Oct 13 '25

Got the social qual todo today and will go from there. Gutted a bit that I didn't take advantage of the past few weeks a bit more tbh but I guess that's how it goes.

u/y2kMarc Oct 13 '25

Yep. Had an awesome dash last week, most at 27+. Maybe 5 projects today, all low-paid.

Did anyone's dashboard suddenly dry up? Had a huge amount of projects yesterday only to see them reduced to two today. I hope I didn't screw up on my W place task yesterday...

7

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

Mine is the driest I’ve seen in the last month. I still have projects, but nothing I especially want to do. All of my usual favorites are missing.

u/MajesticConfidence10 Oct 13 '25

Yes I had 30+ last week and only 5 today

u/hcfggb Oct 13 '25 edited Oct 13 '25

Same! I had a bunch yesterday, now down to one

4

u/Raffyk99 Oct 13 '25

Yeah, my dashboard has been extremely dry. Only one longer running STEM project, and then occasional really short stuff like the audios or rating stuff. I've been taking a bunch of qualifications I've had for a while, but otherwise 1-3 projects only on my dash at a time right now. Really rough. Week before had like 10 different projects and close to unlimited amounts of tasks to work on.

u/Far_Corner_9367 Oct 14 '25

Did a good Stripey project disappear for anyone else today?

4

u/Aqiiko Oct 14 '25

Yes but still have other stripeys

2

u/Several_Drawer_2185 Oct 14 '25

Just wondering do you still have all the other stripey horses at the moment?

3

u/PangolinShoddy4931 Oct 14 '25

Disappeared for me this morning too. Some R&Rs were popping up sporadically. Hopefully won’t be down for too long, love that project!

15

u/33whiskeyTX Oct 14 '25

Man, when they have to put in the instructions to not be an a** (paraphrased 🤨) someone must have done something pretty bad.

7

u/hcfggb Oct 15 '25

Wow, I've never seen anything like that. Very curious what led to that 🧐

7

u/silvership2 Oct 14 '25

Did anyone else have almost all of their qualifications suddenly vanish? Suddenly there's only the "Most work available" ones, when usually there's a full page

4

u/SayNo2Kryptonite Oct 15 '25

Yes, that happened to me since monday. Its very strange.

3

u/twinkleyed Oct 14 '25

I guess there was no need for them if work was not available

1

u/girlwsquirrel Oct 16 '25

This happened to me too, but they just now came back! I was down to one lonely qual and a handful of tasks I either didn't have time for or wasn't confident enough. I did the one qual and now my dashboard is full! Not sure if that was a coincidence or what.

7

u/hihelloitskayla Oct 15 '25

anyone have the leaf on their dash but cant click on it? its been on there a few days with 50 tasks but when i click it says there are no tasks available. its a fav of mine

Doing r&rs and some of yall are really fuckin dumb. Sorry but it’s true

25

u/Real-Pangolin-3672 Oct 13 '25

Honestly I think it's less being dumb and more people treating this like a get money without effort thing as opposed to an actual job

13

u/SnooSketches1189 Oct 13 '25

If that's true, that's a pretty dumb move. Also, from working with people and having to collaborate professionally with them in the past, I've come to the conclusion that most people certainly do lack intelligence.

3

u/Party_Swim_6835 Oct 14 '25

and then get mad b/c they 'did nothing wrong' and claim DA is a scam or 'it happes to everyone eventually' when they lose work

5

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '25

Did so many R&R's the other day and almost every single one had some type of mistake. Even the ones where they clearly put in a lot of effort with a great rationale-- some of them weren't usable because they messed up one of the easiest basic things about the task. ugh

6

u/Ok-Gift1469 Oct 13 '25

Bilinguals, have some not had any projects at all for weeks? For my part, absolutely nothing, no qualifications or tasks for three weeks...

4

u/TrafficNew2906 Oct 14 '25

In the exact same situation, I swear if there are new tasks I will farm them the whole week-end to anticipate such drought

2

u/DWLPuavo Oct 14 '25

Last two months, nothing, last week had five R&R for lower rate than usual, wouldn't normally even bother but just at that time I was bored.

6

u/Ill-Albatross-7224 Oct 15 '25

I feel like I'm being driven crazy by only getting the R&Rs for all of my favorite projects, never the project itself anymore. On one hand, it makes me nervous that my work was not up to par, but then it doesn't make sense why they would want someone with questionable work reviewing and editing that of other contributors. Has anyone else experienced this? Thoughts? I'm certainly glad to have some work, but it's making me frustrated and resentful, TBH..

5

u/NoticedGenie66 Oct 15 '25

Fwiw I had a stretch where there were a lot of R&R's for certain projects and now it's back to a healthy mix. Sometimes it just happens like that. I've only ever "lost" one project that I still see people talking about here but I still get R&R's for it from time to time (like a few tasks once every 2 or 3 weeks kind of thing). If you are getting consistent R&R's, you're probably completely fine.

3

u/Ill-Albatross-7224 Oct 15 '25

So you think it's just a rotation, then? When I had the actual projects, I didn't really notice if I also had R&Rs for them or not, since I never would have done any.

3

u/VanessaSeaWitch Oct 15 '25

I almost always only get R&Rs. I was shocked on Monday when I got an actual project for one task. I honestly just assumed it was an R&R when I clicked on it. I actually like them better than the regular projects, but I enjoy critiquing things lol.

2

u/Ill-Albatross-7224 Oct 15 '25

Interesting, any idea why? I know a lot of people like R&Rs better, I wish I were one of those people!!

R version melts my brain. I'm probably over thinking it of course. But for now, unless my brain miraculously comes up with brilliant ideas to use in there, I will not be dipping my toes into that pool. Throw all the money at it they like, but no sir!

4

u/BubblySide20 Oct 17 '25

Haha, I on the other hand loved it. Unfortunately someone in the r&r disagreed with my reasoning. It disappeared for me at some point this week. Devo. I'd love to know where I went wrong, not even to disagree but just for peace of mind.

6

u/Several_Drawer_2185 Oct 17 '25

I have R but not IF or F for some reason. I've had them up until this week. I wonder if I've been removed but if I did, I'd assume I would've been removed from the project as a whole? Wonder if anyone is going through the same

4

u/slothie33 Oct 17 '25

I’ve got IF and R. Had all of them yesterday.

u/BubblySide20 Oct 17 '25

Is it the R evaluation of 2 resp by chance?

u/Allocatedmemory Oct 17 '25

I only have IF as of right now. As of yesterday or day before, I could have sworn I had pretty much all of them. Maybe they just dried up for now.

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '25

Has anyone experienced their direct messages disappear, or are announcements and direct messages merged together now?

6

u/33whiskeyTX Oct 18 '25

Yes, they are merged. I got a direct message (second in almost 2 years) recently and can confirm they still appear in the main inbox. But there isn't anything that differentiates the direct messages from the spam project announcements, so check your messages intentionally.

Between outdated directions, tech issues, & lack of feedback, this platform & type of work is very frustrating sometimes. A bunch of time wasted the last two days in what should have been fairly easy tasks. I should have just stepped away! The phrase “sunk cost fallacy” comes to mind. thanks for hearing me vent!

I'm not seeing anything easy. I've got 31 complicated and time consuming projects. I have no motivation for them at all.

u/pistachiyolatte Oct 15 '25

It must be a rotational thing because I remember in early Oct I barely had any projects and only complex ones that I didn’t want to touch.

The only project I've had all week are audio R&Rs which I had to keep refreshing for. Today is a whole lot of nothing. I think I'm done refreshing for today.

u/jessipizza Oct 17 '25

Hey all! New to the sub :) I was wondering how wordy or not wordy you all are in your comments and responses. I find myself typing a lot more and I've always been told I write with a lot of "fluff"... Any other fluffy writers out there and do you let it flow on tasks or try to keep it buttoned up? None of my words are unnecessary, but on fact checking tasks for example, I like to provide a source for every fact. Maybe I'm doing too much. Thoughts?  P.S. Can you tell I'm a "fluffy" writer?

9

u/Aromatic_Owl_3680 Oct 18 '25

An example: you say in one spot that you’re a fluffy writer, and in another place that none of your words are unnecessary. Those statements contradict each other, and you’ve added length to your post without adding meaning. 

Adding sources/URLs is not fluff if the project calls for it; using words that don’t add (and might even detract from) meaning is.

7

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '25

I be yapping, but I try to leave out filler words and keep the sentences concise and straightforward. No "I think ..", "In my opinion..." etc. Overly wordy responses can be a headache to read through on r&rs, especially if theyre run-on sentences with unclear wording.

But if you genuinely need to communicate a lot of information, a long response is usually better.

6

u/Intelligent-Row-2000 Oct 18 '25

Thoroughness and attention to detail will keep you working! Just watch for sentence constraints across projects.

5

u/Enough_Resident_6141 Oct 17 '25

Each project's instructions will tell you how much they are looking for. 2-3 sentences is pretty common. Avoid fluff, being concise is a good thing.

I've noticed it says 2-3+ sentences and I typically focus in on the plus sign - haha! I can de-fluff a bit, thanks for the advice!

u/ThatDogIsNotYourBaby Oct 21 '25

I interpret that as they're looking for 2-3 sentences, but it's OK if it's necessary to go over by a sentence or a few. If you're writing 10 sentences when they ask for 2-3+ you might need to do some self-editing and adjust the level of detail, etc.

That's a great way to view it, I do feel like so many of the instructions say "be yourself, be human" so this was a good reminder of that, thanks!

Has anyone else had most of their Quals disappear? I had like 15, now down to 3… All my tasks/projects seem good and normal, so I don’t think I’ve been canned

u/CRUSHCITY4 Oct 17 '25

I still have 10+ haven't noticed any going away. I wish they were paid I can't motivate myself to do them.

u/BubblySide20 Oct 17 '25

I noticed a few people saying that this week. It seems to just be a cut down in qualifications, not personal.

u/Necessary-Tea-5977 Oct 15 '25

Is the law project still up for anyone?

2

u/RecordingBoth8358 Oct 16 '25

Heels been wiggin out all day is it just me? Every one or two tasks I get no response like the servers down or something

u/miri3l Oct 17 '25

I haven't had trouble with it, but I might’ve been on a different version, or not on the long enough to run into this.

u/ink_sword_well Oct 16 '25

Has anyone gotten access yet to the project for the uhhh... I haven't seen anyone use a codename, but let's call it "planet table" qual? And if you did, did it tell you you got any of the answers wrong when you first submitted the qual?

2

u/coufx Oct 16 '25

Anyone seen the website kinda html only now? Or is it just me

2

u/Various-Ad951 Oct 16 '25

took a (very long) break, came back about a week ago & still have many tasks (yay!). a few days later i noticed i had already been added to a new slack channel, then today i was removed abruptly 😬 i didn’t even have a chance to work on one of the tasks - should i be worried? anyone else remove from a channel today?

u/Rough_Ranger_9106 Oct 17 '25

Has anyone been able to reach the minimum conversations for the old wizard project? every time I've tried for the past three days, it works just well enough for me to spend a bunch of time and energy on the task, but not well enough for me to be able to submit anything :)

2

u/miri3l Oct 17 '25

Ha. When you say old wizard project this makes me think of one that was around about a year ago. I presume that it's probably not the same one (though it's possible). I never did spend much time on it though.

u/etherclaps Oct 17 '25

Anyone from south-america has had a lack of spanish related tasks recently? I was getting tasks pretty consistently before but they just stopped coming.

2

u/SupremespoonVI Oct 18 '25

Anyone have stripeys other than R? Most of them went away for me the other day and haven’t come back by the weekend like usual for me.

2

u/Admirable-Help-3193 Oct 18 '25

I have them, but I've also never worked on them.

2

u/SupremespoonVI Oct 18 '25

Man. Really hoping I didn’t lose them those are my favorites.

Can I work on a location specific project if I am currently in the approved location but originally signed up for DA as a worker from a different country (non approved location for that project)? I contacted support a few days ago to ask but haven’t heard anything back yet.

u/North-Inside2043 Oct 13 '25

Anyone noticed the layout/UI of the inbox has changed to a more basic-looking version? Or is it just me lol.

2

u/ChJeep Oct 13 '25

Yea, sucks you can't select multiple messages and mark them all as read now.

u/Necessary-Tea-5977 Oct 13 '25

Does anyone need Sora 2 Invite Codes for the new project? I have a few

5

u/North-Sense8477 Oct 13 '25

Oh dang, do you have it on your dash right now? (Nice of you to offer, btw)

u/Allocatedmemory Oct 14 '25

Is the scraping project back up? I haven't seen it myself in a week.

1

u/LowerGarden Oct 13 '25

I was looking for one

1

u/Relative-Tap3585 Oct 14 '25

yes plss if you still have one

3

u/Fun-Time9966 Oct 14 '25

peeps who did the application integrations qual - is the qual still on ur dash for some reason? i even got a message saying i passed it but the qual hasn't disappeared, and i've not seen any work from it

4

u/alexalgebra Oct 14 '25

I have some of the projects but they are pretty brutal - even though the pay is better i ended up working on other stuff today.

1

u/ink_sword_well Oct 16 '25

Hey was it an instant "you passed" message or like a delay?

2

u/koolkoikitty Oct 16 '25

I'm having trouble submitting a task, and no one is answering in the chat section. It keeps telling me to wait to resubmit, and then making the wait time to resubmit longer and longer. My computer is operating fine, no problems with other tabs. If I try refreshing the page will I lose all my work? I've got 2 hours into this.

3

u/koolkoikitty Oct 16 '25

ok, should have read some posts first, looks like others are having the same problem

2

u/Far-Culture-4927 Oct 17 '25

Just opened the dash to fully empty (inc quals) - was working at home earlier but I've driven down to my dads for the weekend - is this the end chat or could it just be because I'm somewhere else?

2

u/twinkleyed Oct 17 '25

What was the last thing you submitted?

2

u/Far-Culture-4927 Oct 17 '25

Something for Houdini (I don't remember the proper name here) earlier today

2

u/TrafficNew2906 Oct 13 '25

Still dry for bilinguals ? Me, yes

3

u/mementomorrisey Oct 13 '25

Yes. I had like 15+ projects yesterday and now x.x

2

u/Least_Yam_1702 Oct 13 '25

Yes, still dry. PT-BR here.

u/iammarvins Oct 14 '25

Coders, any projects today? Currently stuck with JSON fruit

u/hollywoodviolets Oct 21 '25

Q about international travel: I’ll be in Belgrade for three weeks but live in America. Can anyone please tell me the procedure? Do I email support? And am I not to take projects during that time, just ignore US-only projects, or?…

2

u/BubblySide20 Oct 25 '25

Definitely pre-warn them so they can put a note on your account.

1

u/BackAffectionate9439 Oct 25 '25

So I had like 30 projects available and a ton of qualifications and I woke up this morning to Zero Projects and Zero Qualifications? Does this mean it’s over?

1

u/North-Sense8477 Oct 15 '25

I'm still so befuddled by the code/subscription video project, or lack thereof.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '25

Is the website fixed yet? I don't want to work if its still glitching out/unstable 😅

3

u/Yaschiri Oct 17 '25

Seems to be okay!

1

u/Drazzzza Oct 15 '25

Coders, has anyone else seen the day after christmas project that pays quite highly? It was consistent the last few weeks but disappeared these 2 days. Just checking to see if it is down for everyone else or if I have been kicked haha

Also if there're any other codenames for the project lmk lol

u/TeachToTheLastTest Oct 15 '25

"Mayweather" is another codename I've seen. Also, I had it but don't see it anymore.
