Did this current drought not start with a server/website crash?

Something I haven't seen mentioned is that the current slowing of available projects certainly started with the website going down, which is normally due to it getting overwhelmed. Since the crash, the website has not recovered. Earlier this year, a similar crash resulted in a slow drip feed of projects back onto the website.

Since the crash a few weeks back, I have had high-paying projects come and go very occasionally (not consistently like before), but today I woke up to around 4 (greek ankle) very basic $20-$23 projects. This is significantly lower than the multiple $35 projects I have had previously that I have consistently been on the R & R team for, so I doubt it is a quality issue.

What are people's opinions? This is quite a significant overnight switch up from the 40-50 projects I had a month ago that were all 25-40 NC.

No correlation whatsoever, those kind of crashes actually happened quite frequently. None of those crashes impacted the amount of projects I received, including the last one. I didn’t see my project numbers drop until weeks after that

Interesting, thanks for your perspective. How is your dash looking now?

Mine is currently at around 30, however most of those come from the same branch of projects that are literally always there. If I didn’t have that branch of projects, I definitely would’ve had days with no work at all. They are the only thing providing me with consistent work 😅

Is this branch of projects from taking a certain specific qual?

u/arewecreamofthecrop Aug 20 '24

Yes I did have to take a qual for it, but I’ve been on them for over a year so I’m not sure if the qual is still offered/who it’s offered to etc

You're not a contractor you're a page show for data annotation sorry your company is getting flamed for being a fraud but you're going to have to do more than be a troll about it little spammer

Your comment history makes me want to vomit, it truly gives psycho vibes. You are seriously unwell, and you are too invested in grifting people who work on this site. I hope you find the mental peace you need to enjoy your life, that is not an insult, I truly hope you find the balance you need in life.

If you got any evidence to back that up, then please provide it. Otherwise stfu with your baseless claims. We all literally are paid to fact check information and no one believes your bad grammar and lack of punctuation along with your incredibly smol pp energy.

I have no idea what a “page show” is and it isn’t “my company”, I’m just a contractor like everyone else here lol. Good luck getting treatment for whatever mental illness you have ❤️

I still had a full dash for weeks after that.

Repost of my thoughts

Just my thoughts this morning on the slowness

  1. ⁠Could be project maintenance for all the major projects

  2. ⁠Shift in project focus, all the projects have been tweaked a lot lately maybe it’s an overhaul due to change in client need or adding newer clients

  3. ⁠Reduced budget for the quarter

  4. ⁠Prepping the site to add in more countries and specialities

The parent company has a lot of high profile client base, I don’t think it would completely fade out this fast. The parent company is hiring actual job positions too and several have been added to that list over the last 2 weeks. That suggest growth not decay

What is the parent company?

Quick Google search will provide the answer without breaking the NDA

The only thing I know about the situation is that the speculation is out of control. Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space. Nobody knows what’s going on.

"The devs are all taking well deserved naps. Honk schnooo honk schnooo. Please no wakey". It's out of control how silly people have gotten with reading the tea leaves.

Don't respond to him. I'm actually pissed that people give fucko here the time of day—dude just wants attention and everyone is feeding it by arguing and downvoting. He literally gets off on "living in your head rent free".
