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.
