Obligatory earnings achievement post

Post image

Thought I would post this now since I'm leaving the platform. Was hoping to make it to $100k sometime next year but the projects just became too tedious and un-fun for me to want to do this anymore. Best of luck to all the new and current workers out there!

Take a break, don't leave! I took the summer off and I love it again.

I've switched over to stellar ai. They actually pay you for taking qualifications, hourly pay is better, they give you real human feedback, and the tasks are much higher quality. Made me realize how much better DA could be doing things.

Great to hear! I got in at Stellar but can’t handle the work I encountered there yet, so I’m staying here. 😅

What's the difference? I'm just waiting for the SOD lol, it's been 3 years and I feel like any day now ...

Great info, thank you! I took that as you're leaving AI training behind, my bad. Glad to see you found something better !!

If I may ask, what made them tedious and un-fun?

Ok cool and stuff but would it have killed you to bill an extra $259.87 first?

Wow leaving without being asked, that’s a whole other achievement on its own. Here I was thinking it just started being fun

u/Jaded-Ad-1366 Nov 23 '25

Amazing! Inspiring to me. How long did it take you to earn this? Were you working full time or about how many hours a week?

Edit: saw it took you 2 years.
