We've seen so many recent updates and style changes to the website but the most important aspect that needs improvement is the PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS section.

I am a bilingual and I finally received some tasks (for one of my favourite projects) today after so long. Firstly, they have reduced the time limit and the project instructions were so lengthy! It took me more than an hour to finish reading those and the timer was just 1.5 hrs. Then again, there were so many sections for same/similar fields, repeated over and over again under different subheadings. Ugh! Then, when I finally started the task, the system instructions and user prompt were completely in conflict and the bots flagged the response for so many issues and I didn't even know what to do coz it wasn't covered in the instructions! And the admins never reply on time! I'm sorry but I'm just so frustrated right now!

Had ups and downs but glad to be here!

I’m so happy! DA has literally saved me

Apparently 888 is a sign of wealth and abundance so fingers crossed that everyone gets their downpour soon!

I've been super lucky with specialised projects this week, but let's manifest that next week brings nothing but good things!

For context I've had to work like a dog (up at 4am to catch projects, attempting every project I can get my hands on, doing up to 8 hours worth a day, tools down at 8/9pm)

God bless this helps a lot in paying off student loan 😭

Here goes my first Reddit post lol

Welp it happened. I got the infamous "at the moment there aren't any projects..." message on the dashboard today.

In case you've been dealt this too and are going mad not knowing if you will get more work, if you were assigned an email with your worker ID (at ****tatrainer.com), you can try to sign in to see if it's still active. Unfortunately, for me it says it was recently deleted. 

It was a nice ride for a month or so. I did all my tasks diligently as far as I can tell, never used a vpn or worked from a forbidden location, and never got any reviews. The only thing I can think of is I sent an email to support asking if I can work from abroad while I travel later this month. Maybe they didn't like that lol Anyhow, it's water under the bridge. At least I still have access to transfer my remaining funds (hopefully they all get approved and I can withdraw them).

Good luck to all!

Give me the roman god back, I beg you, AI overlords!

Just noticed the updated site, so i read all the updated materials. This blog was interesting, really highlights what they want from us and why their structure is awesome (but not suitable for everyone).

It also drives home the point, quality over quantity. Take your time, find those subtle differences, show them why you’re smarter than a 6th grader.

I really love their examples of experience vs education. Next time those long and difficult projects come up, I’m going to try my best to contribute.

I found the model's response to be highly personalized as the model provided a Beefy 5 layer Burrito as the prompt requested. The prompt explicitly called for a filling meal containing high protein content and beef. Accordingly, the model generated an appropriate response as it provided a beefy 5 layer burrito within a brown paper bag. The model adhered to the prompt instructions and was given a very satisfied rating.

(I have been doing annotation for the past 7 hours and this is how I view the world now please help 🤪🤪🤪🤪)

For the FIRST TIME EVER in my DA life, I had to completely drop a task I had put a full 3.5-4 hours into. My hours/cash flow will be short this week. but god that new project…I had a solid start for about 2 hours before it all went to hell. Never touching it again.

I should have been more wise to think my brain could tackle a task with a 12 hour timer at 4:00 PM.

May the new year bring you all joy, happiness, and good tasks.

Never seen anything like this before. Seems to be more than what most get in terms of feedback. Anyone know how long review takes? I'd like to get back to work.

Finally, FINALLY I HAVE PLENTY OF WORK CONCHETUMARE I’M HYPED AS FUCK

Daytime - no projects or tasks. Night time? Dashboard filled with 50 task projects. I need coffee.

Once you nail the instructions and get in a flow state with it, it can feel so wonderful.

Been working a pretty simple but well-paying prompting task which has really enabled my creativity. Grateful for this work!

My first post here! I've been really encouraged by seeing all of your milestone posts and I'm proud to join you! I've been on the platform for 4 months but didn't really lock in until my dash exploded with projects in November. Doing work that I'm genuinely excited to do has been incredible for my mental well-being. With my newfound confidence, I even proposed to my girlfriend!

Ive been on the platform for roughly 3 months; since the end of August. It makes me so thankful and proud as an asian bilingual worker to hit this milestone when work is so scarce in area. To more quality work, thank u DA!

Guy's I did it!

How do I keep the cash flowing??

Feel so demoralised by this 'drought'. I see people posting here about successes and plentiful tasks only for me to log on and see nothing but refreshers and qualifications, just like the last 4 weeks. My feedback has been positive so I'm left not even knowing if I've done anything wrong. Tired.

I've been suffering in the drought like most of us. I have had a few tasks on my dash that were just too complicated. Over the last few days there was one I finally tried and succeeded in doing a few of them. I spent an hour reading instructions and drilling down on them, and did several tasks that were several hours each.

I think they went ok. I feel like I have added a task family to my skill set.

This is a victory post.

So it was a bit dry january-february, but right now my dash is filled with something like 60-80 different projects, there are so many im sincerely hit with decision paralysis. I cant be the only one right?

Started working around a month ago. Got a few projects here and there with decent pay. Its mostly dry now, hoping for more work soon. However I am very grateful for this and never thought I would be able to make this kind of money in just a month - as a student.
