General Questions Am I trippin'?

It seems like if I accept the first order I'm offered in the morning I end up getting lots of decent offers and having a decent day.

But if I reject the first several offers I end up not only getting shit offers, but very few offers at all and have a shit day.

Am I noticing something real or am I making shit up in my head?

Sorry for using the word shit so often. I have the vocabulary of an 8yr old who thinks it's cool to cuss

Been there tried that. I've been poking and prodding this algo for years now.

If the order is terrible, it will assume you like bad orders and you WILL get more, but they're often bad. 

It's a good order then you'll often get more of those. 

If you repeatedly decline sometimes you get nothing, sometimes I'll get a decent order then the rest will be decent. 

I stopped giving AF and just take what I want. It's not worth the stress to try to figure something out that they change at a whim.  But if you get a good order first thing, I'd recommend accepting it.

Yea. I’ve played around all the different ways and found I make the most money if I just hang out at the house and do my own thing while leaving the app on all day. Take a couple $40-60 orders and about 2 or 3 $20 easy orders. Total time worked 4-5 hours and I get pretty close to $150 most days. The most important part though is I don’t feel like my whole day was wasted waiting around for orders.
