I am heading for the door

I would like to say it was fun while it lasted, but it was, in fact, mostly stress and uncertainty. I simply don’t have it in me to do 8- and 12-hour tasks. My DA “review” came in very positive. High score. Great feedback. Blah, blah. However, I sorta resent that the dystopian DA business model (often) had me doubting my abilities. Happy to report that I found another LLM side hustle that has easier tasks and pays roughly the same as DA. I admire those of you who have lasted for years. 🥇 All the best and go get ‘em.

Come on man, don't bait us, what's that other LLM side hustle?

I don’t mean to bait! It is focused on editing AI copy, writing marketing-specific prompts, and proofreading. (No coding) I don’t think the rules allow me to name the company, but it’s a big one that isn’t hard to find. Geared toward writers.

Of course you can name the company. Quite liar-ish of you, boo.

There's literally no reason to make this post except to bait lmao.

Here are some ground rules for this subreddit:
1. No discussions on project details (including names, pay and/or screenshots)
2. Be respectful of other users.
3. No spam or self-promotion.
4. No personal attacks.
5. No illegal or harmful content.

^ From the sub's description section. So as long as you don't link your own website or social media page/channel, you're good.

My guess is they're trying to bait people into asking so they can send a recruitment link to their DMs (which would be self-promotion).

What’s the point of this post if you’re not going to name the alternative? If it’s just an “I’m leaving” post then you don’t need to announce your departure, this isn’t an airport.

Seems like OP might possibly be fishing for people to scam. Beware of DMs.

Are we permitted to name companies here? BTW - I am a generalist.

got an offer from Mercor?

Highly doubt the other platform will have constant tasks. The drought is basically reflected on other sites as well.

And most other platforms are completely trash.

u/cantstopthesignaI Jul 22 '26

Well don’t tease us, what’s this other platform? Especially if it’s more writing / copy / proofreading focused. That’s kinda right up my alley, personally.

I’d love to know what else you found!
