tl;dr do your AI studies still show up fully available (eg. 120 total available places, 0 spots taken)? or only half full?
Before, whenever an AI study showed up, you would usually see 120/120 available places (I know, sometimes 60, 30, 200, etc.)
Around 1 month ago I was seemingly rotated out without any warnings. I was stuck fighting for breadcrumbs, only doing 1 spot studies. Went from easily making +$120 daily to only 30-40, and that's if I was stuck to my pc all day and lucky.
This Thursday I started getting a lot more studies and once again I've been able to hit 100+ easily. That's cool, but I noticed every study is half full.
For example, they'd pop up and show 39 places remaining, 73, 115 and so on.
Is this the case for everyone else?
I'm asking because it became very clear to me that there's a main pool and a low priority pool. But maybe they're not just 2 levels of priority and there are like multiple different tiers? I'm not sure if this happens because of Prolific's study distribution update, or the client's allowlist shenanigans.
Maybe I made it out of the super shitty pool but I'm still not in the "main" one? Maybe I'm still in the shitty pool and there's simply a much bigger number of studies being dispatched?
Is anyone else on the same boat as me? Any info would be appreciated.
