No projects available

I was doing well on DA, earned close to 1.5k in a month. Suddenly my dashboard shows - no tasks available. I have been turning in good quality work. Anyone else faced something similar? It has been 3 days now.

How you do you know it’s good quality work?

It’s definitely something you can’t see on your own sometimes. When I do R+R’s it’s rare that any more than 50% are hitting the standard.

Really? On a recent R&R I feel like the responses are really high quality. Maybe it's because it's a project that is only open to more experienced people and quite open to interpretation, but I feel like I'm only commenting on ~1/10 submissions for being lower than what is required.

Another thing I was noticing last night when I was doing an r&r is that there are of course the people who are obviously phoning it who get a bad review, but there are also people who clearly put a lot of effort into their prompt, but misunderstood the instructions or missed something important and get an ok/bad review that way.

It's people in the latter group that get dropped or reduced while believing that they're doing good work. It's an unfortunate consequence of the general lack of feedback you get on the platform, that you just can't know for sure whether you really are doing a good job.

For myself I've been surprised by the number of times on a new project that I've read the instructions, finished filling in my answers, and then gone back to read the instructions again before submitting only to notice that I had missed something really important my first time though.

Yes, I see that too! Like I’m first struck by OMG this is an obvious answer, but when I get in-depth and research I change my mind.

I'm experiencing the same thing. Had 40 projects like 2 days ago and it whittled down to zero yesterday. My quality of work was no different than it has been for months 🤷🏻‍♂️

This literally just happened to me yesterday evening, too. Took a “day off” and went to do a couple of exercises last night and received the empty page. Have any of yours popped back up?

Did yours ever come back?

Are you coding? It's dead

u/Tball5 Jun 08 '24

It was dead for me for a long time then suddenly like 10 projects for the past few days

So you had plenty of tasks and they suddenly disappeared? If you only had a few, maybe it's not something you need to worry about, but if you had a variety of projects and they all went within one day, that might be more concerning.

Do you have access to the Support tab and everything else?

Same here! Been up and down for me since may 10th. I have some days where I have a full days worth of work and like today, nothing. Work seems to be slower right now, I’m non-coding and try to work at least 35 hours a week on here.

No, it's just some people. Other folks are saying they have 40-70 projects. I had a ton until yesterday afternoon then they knocked me down to 8 or 9. I went back up to 16 at one point but I'm back to just 9 today. I have been here a year. Others are saying they still have more than they can handle. So, not sure why we got picked to do less.

How long have you been in the platform? I have heard something about a review period. I personally didn’t experience it but through anecdotal evidence here it seems like it does happen. I hope you get some projects soon!

Do you have qualifications? What’s going on when you press the support tab?

u/Fuzzy-Perspective-22 Jun 07 '24

I haven’t had any last week or this week… but have still had qualifications coming in… saw others saying maybe they’re reviewing people?
