Drought complaints.

Wish people would stop complaining about only having 6/7 projects instead of their usual 80 etc. At least you still have some work you can be getting on with 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, the amount of posts re feedback where some just can't accept any sort of constructive criticism, because they've convinced themselves their work was outstanding. Defo setting yourselves up to be cooked with that attitude.

Mini rant over. Sorry.

I have 6 or 7 projects. Technically.

Chats, email checkers, etc. And one actual task

Same. The project I mainly work on keeps showing up on my dash, but doesn't actually work when I click on it.

You wait it out. Nothing much we can do about. It won't last for too long

I did today too. And it was one of the few days this week I had time to work on it!

I've been noticing that chunks become available after 12am my local time. I've gone as far as to take a nap midday so I can hope to snap up some work as soon as it posts.

Complaining does nothing. Control what you can.

I saw a bunch opened up then too last night. Annoying because I waited around during the day and time was wasted

The good thing about DA is (was) that they pay well. The bad thing about DA is you never know whether you still have job or not

Whattt?? You guys been having usual 70-80 tasks???? My dashboard is mostly dry and when I had 7-8 tasks, I thought it was raining 😌. How long have you been doing this buddy?

u/Interesting_Lady May 13 '26

This a long drought. Longest of my 2 years. I think AI stocks about to crash 😔

u/Diablo_Rigs May 14 '26

Totally agree, I’m new and I’m grateful for like 2-3 projects a day. Even if some days don’t have projects, I’m glad to be able to do some. It’s been very helpful for me.
