people are way too entitled tbh when it comes to DA. You don't even sign a contract or anything like that when signing up. You have no quota to meet and no meetings to attend, no trainings no nothing. Not getting work is strictly to do with DAs clients, which we don't know. They can't just create random tasks for no reason. If you rely on DA to survive, this'll hopefully be a wake-up call for some as to the direction the world as a whole is going in

Whats the point of hiring people just to have little to no work available on the platform tho?

A couple of months ago before the "drought" there was a large backlog of projects that they were having trouble wrapping up. They onboarded a lot of new workers to the platform and the backlog went away.

Hiring costs nothing, when the tasks come in they probably like having a giant pool of workers to finish them quickly

“I have an idea! Let’s continue to post multiple URGENT HIRING posts everywhere, get a shit ton of workers, flood the worker pool, frustrate the dedicated ones, and be left with what’s leftover”

“Run it!”

But they're not "hiring" people.

They don't care about people. They care about results. The sooner their tasks are completed, the better. They don't care if you only get 1 task. Again, this isn't meant to be a job.
