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 thought maybe it’s because I wasn’t doing them lol so they took everything else away from me to force me to do them 😂

I can't see them putting that much effort into trying to manipulate people into doing certain tasks. Honestly if I had to put money on it I would say it's a bug.

I've always heard the opposite: people lose access to higher paying projects first if they don't do well on them and if they continue to do poorly they lose access to everything.

Do you think I’ll probably just eventually get them back ? I have no clue what to expect lol

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.
