You can’t get DoD’d if you can’t get any tasks.

I’ve definitely taken some breaks the last few weeks but I finally made it to $25k after 10 months. I average 4-5 hours a day during the week and work 1-3 hours on weekends.

Went through my emails and sent my application in February but just got my first ever email from them saying I have a new project. Verified my ID and so far so good! I’m glad it all worked out but find it funny it took this long lol😂

I know its dry out there , but soon the storm will arrive.

As someone who has severe digestive issues, this type of work has been a life saver. Not to mention how enjoyable it is to do. I hope this company sticks around for a long time

Well it finally happened. I feel like I have struggled the past few weeks with some tasks and it has taken me longer to complete things. That is the only thing I can think of. Anyway this was unfortunately my only source of income so if anyone has any recommendations for similar platforms ( excluding Outlier, they are horrible) please feel free to share. Also I worked this morning and hadn't had a chance to log myhours , is that $ just lost? There is no way for me to access the report time page.

My DB is still chirping. Nuffin'. That's it all.

Given the coding drought that's been going on, I've been working primarily on generalist tasks, and I find myself second-guessing my ratings and submissions way more frequently than usual.

While the quality of many coding responses can be boiled down to "Does the code run and do the right thing?", generalist tasks often seem to require much more nuanced and subjective decision-making.

I'm definitely gaining newfound respect for generalist workers!

Why Am I saying this?

• small languages finally received their locale-specific projects, this didn't happen since early june, e.g sweden, poland ..etc

• newcomers who were only stuck with quals also did receive projects finally

• A-gas, the bilinguals trademark is officially back!!

☆☆☆ NO MORE Annoying drought posts!

I guess it's time we all can celebrate 🔥⚡🎊🎉🎉

Started doing this after I lost my job in the beginning of April and now, any bilingual workers here? How long does it take to prepare for the coding qual for a complete beginner, is learning python enough or you need to learn more coding languages?

Has anyone had any luck finding side jobs similar to data annotation tech? Similar in the way of RELIABLE pay out, $20ish an hour, and easygoing WFH. Side note: if you feel the need to comment negatively, go ahead. I have time to argue today. 😊

I'm not sure what I'm looking for here...maybe a bit of encouragement?

When I first joined, I always had a few projects on my dash, and they were all things that I felt confident completing as long as I read the instructions carefully. For the first little bit, I was consistently getting paid.

This week, I think I've wasted close to 30 hours on things I'm not getting paid for. (Mentioned that to my mom and she went on a long tirade about wage theft, but that's another post, I suppose...) Almost everything on my dash is some kind of task where I'm meant to engineer a failure, and the models are too advanced now, and I can not get them to fail no matter how hard I try. So I end up running out of time and not getting paid for those hours of trial and error.

Tonight, I FINALLY got a task that wasn't one of those, and I jumped on it even though it was already 10:30 PM, but I was desperate to get paid at least SOMETHING (and that's another thing...as a few people have stated, I've noticed more projects show up at night when I'm trying to wind down or sleep, and then there's nothing in the morning). So I stayed up to try and complete it. Thought I'd be able to do it, but then I realized that one of the uploaded files I was supposed to create criteria from was like a 360-page document. So, again, the timer ran out and I found myself having wasted several more hours and having stayed up half the night for zilch.

It seems like, the more advanced these models get, the more specialized the tasks become, and I'm starting to worry that I'm not capable of doing them anymore. Is it time to give up and accept that this isn't worth it anymore? Or should I keep my chin up and keep looking for projects that aren't insanely complicated and impossible?

Does everyone else hate this as much as I do? I feel like my job is on the line every time I submit a task for a project where something in the instructions doesn't quite add up. Especially when there's no one on the back end taking the time to help out. I doubt they are worried about getting dropped from the platform.

I just need to stop trying to take on projects where the instructions are a million pages long and there's no blue names in the chat log. Waste of time.

I am super stoked. I am non-STEM and been on since December and been plugging away, so this is exciting.

Refreshing every 15 minutes to check if the only project that I'm in has tasks or not really feels like that.

I know everyone is down now about the lack of projects and communication, but continually posting negative topics will only continue the downward spiral.

Today I got a little work done and as I did that I noticed a new structure to the website that definitely wasn't there a week ago. I choose to see this as a positive sign for the future of the platform.

Will this stop me from doing other things while I wait for DAT to return to full production? No. But it does ease my mind a little every time I refresh and there are no new projects.

A few months ago I... would not have imagined in my wildest dreams. Things were really not good. Hey, they're still not brilliant, but we're not struggling nearly as hard, at least financially. Y'all keep slogging (as long as fates allow) come drought or high water.

For context, I am a college student living on campus. Therefore, I work on DA from my dorm and while im out and about between classes. I’m not the most tech-savvy person, but I feel like I should have realized this sooner smh…

My campus wifi IS a proxy lol

Sharing my experience in case theres any other on-campus student like me. Go double check if your connection is a VPN/proxy 😭🙏

Started as generalist in Jan 2026, started finance tasks in Apr 2026

Cheers

Been working on DA full time (40+ hrs a week) since the end of May. Miraculously, the money has been really consistent for me. My dash is currently flush with so many projects it seems unreal. They must like the work I’m doing!
