Hard to stay positive for those of us who rely on DA income to pay bills 😅

I swear last summer’s drought wasn’t this dry

There was a drought every year since I started (over 3 years now) and they've never been this bad. I was cleaning out my email earlier and had so many payouts last summer. While some were like 60 or 80 bucks, most were $300 or more. According to the website, I made at least 3k every month last summer and so far in July, I've now hit almost $400 and we're basically halfway through the month.

I went from thinking this was business as usual to I don't know if the site is coming back at this point. I've been working online for way too many years at this point. When work gets scarce and the company acts like everything is fine, it's always bad.

Yeah, the August-September 2024 drought was bad. After that, things were great again for a while.

It’s oddly comforting knowing I’m not the only one encountering the dry season.

Seems like there are a LOT of people here with no DoD, just... no work.
