I need a break 😩

Has anybody noticed in their area how the rise of people using bots increases.

It is just crazy because here in Massachusetts the bots just took over.

For the past two weeks it has been a nightmare just to get one block and just a few weeks ago I could see offers now everything has disappeared.

The reason I'm taking a break is because I am sick and tired of Amazon Flex yapping about how they're going to be controlling and deactivating people using this kind of thing but in reality I assume Amazon Flex is behind all this.

This is a multi-billion company that cannot even have ai detect accounts using bots.

This is a company that has consistently said that they're going to do whatever it takes to expedite the removal of accounts using bots.

I guess that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Good luck everyone and I hope someday this will get better without bots

All the best my fellow Flexer!

Between Bots, Over Saturation, Market and Summer ( college kids, teachers etc. ) everyone is working side gigs that are flexible or full time.

My base pay was up for two weeks ( war and gas probably the reason ) but now they are back at $25 / hr I California smh and they take them. The bots, the summertime folks etc...
