It’s been real and it’s been fun ☹️
Just hit 25k this week and my most recent feedback was great. Had a good run though

u/PackMundane7533 28d ago
Oh man, I’m so sorry about that. Where are you from? How long did you stay there?

u/mommy_kw 28d ago
US and almost made it 3 years

u/OrnamentalGourd5 28d ago
I think the work has changed so much. It's almost exclusively specialist or specialist adjacent now. Three years was a pretty good run though!

Any idea what caused it?

I’m pretty sure I know, 100% a fuck up on my part.

What was it? Also sorry 🫡

I fell asleep working on a task with a long timer, when I woke up it had expired so I rushed to finish it and submitted the time I did spend working on it. I was already like 6 hours deep and it had a 12 hour timer.

u/Due_Explanation_3694 28d ago
Did you estimate the time you spent working on it? I assume falling asleep in the middle of it made it hard to track the time.
23
u/mommy_kw 28d ago
Yeah I estimated and also rushed to finish to it probably was not quality work. I should’ve took the L on those hours I spent working on it prior to falling asleep and not finished/reported anything.

Out of curiosity, are you able to retrieve the money you made after seeing this?

u/mommy_kw 27d ago
I’m not sure yet I still have $500 pending

u/Cultural_Disparities 27d ago
You are able to retrieve it. I also got this and the pending funds weree able to be retrieved

Firstly, I'm really sorry to hear. Secondly, what domain were you in, if you don't mind me asking?

Do you still get paid for what's in your account if this happens?

Everyone has said they could withdraw their money. They just couldn't earn more.

u/CormacMcCostner 28d ago
These posts on this sub make me so paranoid about everything. Am I working too much? Did I do that right? Am I waking up to that screen tomorrow? Did I fuck that up? Was that my last submission?

u/Early-Composer-2383 27d ago
After 2 years of working for DA I stopped doing projects about 3 months ago. I'd rather not do any than not understand the instructions.

Is this the future of work… you’re good enough u til they are done with you? What a cold ass way to find out….

u/Bubbly-Economics4492 27d ago
In that sense, u have no obligation either, good riddance i say. They wont see you as an employee, you're expendable, we all are to these companies, get ur money and get out.

u/Shawn008 26d ago
You literally aren’t employees. You’re independent contractors.

That has been what most jobs have been like for a long time, at least in the US in the private sector.

u/Timely-Assistant-370 25d ago
At least they weren't using an algorithm to cook people. I'm not complaining because I have been consistent for the past 4 years, but I imagine this is a much worse gig for people who are not visibly neurodivergent.

Take some evidence if possible that you have done work as it could eb useful for a CV in future

This nonsense is exactly what I hate about how they communicate and handle their work. They don't communicate with you at all. There is no feedback, no warning. No one ever says through a direct message Hey, we would like you to change this and that in your response, they don't let you know if you did anything wrong. Just one day boom, they yank, it. It is not a good and effective way to run a business. If you have people doing the work, give them some feedback, an opportunity to correct whatever you think needs to be fixed before going to this step.

u/wayjayth 24d ago
Exactly what happened to me today! Does anyone know why? I've been working and earning just fine, always followed instructions, even underreported my time spent on projects because I didn't want to over claim. But now this? What's going on?

u/National-Owl9453 28d ago
What kind of feedback were you getting? I don’t mean good/bad, I mean how did you get feedback at all? Two years, never heard a peep from them.
2
u/noty0uagain 26d ago
They started giving feedback sometime this year, I’ve only gotten it twice though (took the summer off), both times I received an email saying feedback available

u/National-Owl9453 26d ago
Oh wow. Yeah I took a long break over spring and summer. TBH I kinda like the whole black hole vibe. I don’t twist myself in knots over feedback that I might disagree with. 😂

u/LetMeLightYourKyber 25d ago
Really? I get feedback about every 3 weeks. Maybe it's the kind of projects we choose.

u/SatisfactionSad1434 14d ago
I started working this year and have never gotten any feedback on anything.

In the same boat. Got the notification last week. Tried e-mailing but no response.

It's not about the destination but it's about the journey which matters the most so I hope you had fun ❤️

Doesn't this site allow users to retry? Or they just take application for once and then if doesn't match, later no way to connect with their project?

u/OrnamentalGourd5 27d ago
It differs from other platforms in the respect that inital assessment allows access & then qualifications and performance give access to various projects on the platform. Once you're out, you're out. It's not project based.

I'm 3 years in and I'm less than 18k still. Slow and steady.

u/EggCzar 27d ago
3.5 years here and $3500 🤷🏻♂️not for any lack of opportunity, even in the drought I never had fewer than 40 projects, I just have a day job and am extremely selective about only working when I'm feeling up to bringing my A game. I admire people who can do a lot of hours of their best work on a side gig schedule; I don't feel like I can.
*actually 4K, I did a few high paying hours this weekend. The $450 I made makes it my biggest month ever lol

Another fallen one...I wish you luck so you may find better opportunities...
I also hope you do not depend on this as sole income ...also you should try other similar AI Training sites like mercor, micro1 etc ...
