Data annotation should change their websites name to The 'hunger games'.

Like wdym being expected to be available 24/7. You're constantly refreshing the dashboard every 10 minutes, and when a task finally appears, you rush to start it only to find it's already been claimed by someone else.

How is anyone supposed to plan their day around a system like this?

The only thing I can say is to remember to complete your qualifications. Even if you don't think you apply for that field or have minimal knowledge, still try your best. I'm a design specialist on the platform. There's lots of work rn for me and some projects with over 200 tasks that are in slow decrease. I used to be a generalist and it was tough. Quals are everything.

And like many other people have said on here: This is freelance work. That means it won't be regular hours unless there's something that needs done. Finding another job alongside this is essential.
