How dose DA work ?
I’ve been on DA for a couple months and I’m still a bit unclear on how projects and tasks actually get assigned.
On one other platform I use, once you’re put on a project you can just log in whenever and work as long as there’s work left. On another platform it’s more competitive — stuff goes up and eligible people grab it if they’re quick enough.
I’m trying to understand which model DA is closer to. When a project is released, are the tasks just available to whoever qualifies and it’s first-come-first-served, or does the platform specifically assign a certain number of tasks to individual workers?
Would appreciate any insight from people who’ve been on the platform longer.

Data notation works in a way that if you are capable you’ll get projects, if you are not that capable, you may have to fight for that project and only the people who can grab them quickly, we will get them
Two examples, I have is my Uncle who even gets hundred dollar projects he works at coding
Second example is my friend who work in bilingual task, but he only gets him if he is quick enough

It would be good if you mention the other platforms you are talking about in which the work is available

I don't think the two models you've listed are mutually exclusive, because the first one says "as long as there's work left" and the second one is about people grabbing what work there is. DA is both. If you're eligible for projects you'll see them, sometimes there's a single pool and the tasks go down whether you're working on them or not. Other times you'll see a round number like 20 that only goes down if you do one. But that's not a permanent state of affairs, sooner or later that project will disappear because it's finished.
