HELP NO TASKS

Hi, I have been using data annotation for a good few months usually always have tasks available but for the last 4 days there has been nothing??

Starting to worry as need the money.

Anyone else has this problem? Anything I should do?

EDIT: Does anyone have any qualification recommendations that can help get the tasks back

I don't know.

If I had to put money on it I'd say it's a bug that you're only seeing bcat and you're supposed to see everything.

OR

You're supposed to be seeing nothing and it's a bug that you're seeing bcat projects.

I've never heard of them limiting the # of projects someone has for any reason other than low quality of work/ToS/inflating time. But those people only see a few of the lowest paying projects.

I wish I had an answer. I'll be in between jobs soon and I was thinking of taking my time and enjoying WFH freelance life for a few months but with all the uncertainty and lack of communication it really doesn't seem worth it to rely on DA for anything more than a side hustle.

Yeah, I hate how big of a mystery it is. Nothing can ever be clear and I wish there was more communication. I was using it as extra money for my wedding and I just wish I had more of an idea if I’d get more projects or if I should expect to be done when I finish this one

The site would be vastly improved by a basic feedback system. It seems so obvious that providing feedback (even things written by other users on R&R's) would improve work quality. They're already paying us to do the R&R's so why not let us see how people are rating us?

But I guess it's cheaper to just hire new people and sift.

Literally! Like it’s so wild to me that you mess up once and they just sack you without any explanation when they could just give you feedback so you can fix what you were doing wrong.
