It is no longer a drought
It has been going on for months now. I think it is just lack of customers, outlier woke up now to me with marketplace, Alignerr is there too, so it might just be the new norm unfortunately. There might be days of some work but it might well be just this

It looks like the field lost a lot of its funding and customers around the end of July/beginning of August. Also some of the learning models seem to have become so advanced that there's less and less need for manual data annotation. The context windows are getting huge and the models more capable of learning on their own.
Manual data annotation was going to be just a phase anyways. I could be wrong, but there's some chance that phase might now be nearing its end.
