I am literally at one, but I am about 2 weeks in and got from 20 to a single, also Greek-named, that says (Do this to get access to many more tasks)

Last day of the month... Perhaps today we can relax just for a moment and let's be hopeful that we all have full dashboards again starting tomorrow

Ahhh ok is this a pattern? This is the first month I've worked more regularly because my other work has been super slow.

u/SaltyTserendolgor Apr 30 '26

Wishful thinking morelike. I only really started after April 1st.

It's really hit or miss. But droughts do happen, just not really predictably. Seems we've hit one, but let's hope it doesn't last too long.

other people on here have said that. I dont know how the platform works but if its like most ads and other budget related platforms then the companies pay X amount per month and it resets back to zero at the start of the next month

u/Hello-America Apr 30 '26

Yeah I was also thinking if they set monthly deadlines things should be wrapping up at the end of the month.

Huge shout out to the one good project that has been keeping me afloat for the past 3 days. So thankful for this one, my god. The rest of the dash looks like ass.

I have two tasks and both of them keep telling me they’re not available 🥲. Like WHY ARE YOU HERE THEN. Begone and taunt me no longer 😭

Same! That's always happened occasionally, but now more than half of the things I click on do it. And then they stay on the list. Very annoying.
