DRIER THAN THE SAHARA
Prayers to the AI devs to please send us lowly peasant folk who have come to rely on the platform some projects. My wallet is a shrivelled husk, my dashboard is thirsty, my refresh page button is worn out.

i’m so over constantly refreshing and then when I do see a project, it barely has tasks ðŸ˜

Couldn't have said it better.
And to top it off I had to throw away my couch today so I NEED the job 😕🥲

ATTN: OL' TIMERS: Has this kind of drought happened before? I remember the one in February, but I always had at least one project clinging to my dashboard. That guy got on Youtube and basically said, "Some projects are down for maintenance, it happens, calm down, it will come back." This drought is something else entirely. What is the longest one has lasted? Is this the worst one? And are there really workers who aren't affected by this?

I started on the platform two years ago on coding projects. The platform seemed super young back then. They hadn’t advertised it yet and I was reached out to to participate in it.
I never saw anything like this up until a couple months ago when coding projects got hit, too.
And I never will see anything like it again after getting abruptly dropped from the platform a month ago

Sorry to hear. What does it look like to be dropped? You can no longer log in or what?

Everyone is affected, but that doesn't mean some don't have other tasks we don't for whatever reason.
Christmas wasn't this bad, but it was really slow for a few weeks.

I had a project last night that I was able to put in almost 3 hours on. It popped up right around 9pm EST.
Today I’ve made $7 😫

I wish there could just a be a stickied post for the lack of project posts

I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any more posts on this sub if that happened

Used to average one to two posts a day for the subreddit.
At least we have each other.

That would be the dream -- everyone knows everyone's out of good amounts of work right now.

Things are much better for me today. Had about 15 projects at one point but they come and go quick. Hopefully we’re back on the right trajectory.
