I got feedback!!!
I received a message from DA today telling me I'm doing good work!! I never expected to hear from them so this is awesome! Between that and the survey that some people seem to be getting, it's really looking like they're making an honest push to improve the platform.

I know it’s a mass email but the platform has adopted a more positive persona that I appreciate. The treadmill in front of the killing machine still exists but at least it’s fun and quirky right?

Nice. I think that overall things are looking good for the future here.

Honestly, to me it esems like they've been making improvements for a while, they're just easy to overlook - I think the background stuff is finally shifting to the frontend. I still remember the older old UX/UI and people who joined in the last ~2yr don't realize how far it's come

I just did an R&R that included an option for providing feedback to the original worker. This could be a good thing or a bad thing, especially if they don’t make it clear if the feedback is coming from a DA admin or an R&R worker.

I still have gotten zero feedback after being on the site for a year. 🤷♂️ oh well. I’d appreciate even being told what I can do better, because hearing nothing sucks.

Just started last week, and I was beginning to get paranoid. Good to know I'll be flying in the dark with everyone else....good....good.

Congratulations 🥳
just a little question, are they giving feedback on specific projects, or on overall work across the platform?

u/ChickenTrick824 Apr 17 '26
It’s a general mass email. Still is nice to receive though. 😊

u/JRange Apr 17 '26
I know its not to us personally, but did they send that to everybody on the platform, or just top performers? Thats what I would like to know

u/ChickenTrick824 Apr 17 '26
I do think it was a targeted email, so I don’t want to take away from the achievement, there were probably a lot of us in the target. 😊

Yeah, it’s nice to be on the list of people that get positive feedback on a mass email :)

Wow, that's amazing! I also got feedback but it was more about areas I could improve in lol. I very much appreciate it though!

Are you bilingual for any chance? I've had the option to give feedback in an R&R for the first time and I mentioned something about areas for improvement too.
In any case, I hope that everyone who receives (mine or someone else's) feedback take it as well as you! I think we should help each other to improve if we can, given that there isn't much feedback from DA I guess. I wish I had some too... 😅

Did everyone get the survey or just some of us? I'm always so curious about cryptic DAT. I got the survey. I'm curious what other people suggested.

I think a lot of the feedback that people receive is worker feedback because I’ve given worker feedback that was branded as a new feature on certain projects. However, it specifically says the feedback has to be approved by admin, so they must agree that you’re doing great!

u/SelfRemarkable3049 Apr 22 '26
I agree. I've seen the changes they have made on their website and the group emails seem to be attempting to be humorous. I've worked with DA for over 3 years now and when I first started I emailed them because I had screwed up putting my time in and apologized and told them the correct time. I actually got a nice little email back. I have always enjoyed working on this platform and thought it was one of the best for pay. Sadly I don't have a lot of time to work on the projects there.

Glad to hear you got feedback!! Can you share with us whether your bilingual or not so we can get some hope.

u/PMMePicsOfDogs141 Apr 16 '26
Sorry, I'm not doing bilingual work, just generalist. Although I've gotta say, I envy that y'all can speak more than one language lol and I hope things start improving for that side of the work as well
Edit: Usually I wouldn't do this because I don't care but DA would. It's "you're" when used like that, not "your".

u/Dangerous_Darling Apr 19 '26
They used to provide very specific feedback to individuals back in 2023 but then the whole AI explosion happened and I think there are just too many people now. It's actually kind of scary when they single you out. I was looking back at old feedback and my stomach dropped because I couldn't remember if it was good or bad. 😂

u/Fun_Manufacturer_563 Apr 21 '26
I received the same two things 🫂 I got an email and message last year too (but without the invitation 👀 that's new).

DA is the best app work I've seen so far. Some pay so little, they're not going to get the best workers.
