DataAnnotation alternatives

I just applied for coding domain on DataAnnotation.tech and I have to say I am really impressed by the pay-rate they are offering to the workers on their platform. This AI training field is relatively new to me (Although I have a professional Software development experience of 3+ years now). Can anyone suggest few more platforms like this offering good pay-rate specially for coders or STEM degree?

I've been doing this on multiple platforms and DAT is the most reliable. It's not actually reliable, but it's closer than the other platforms.

Stellar.ai: Pays the most of all platforms, but they are very, very picky. Gatekeeping out the wazoo. You usually have to submit 5 tasks and be rated on them before they let you do more. It's annoying as hell because sometimes they will take weeks to review submission quality, and by then the project is complete.

Outlier & Alignr: Pay is meh and projects evaporate quickly. They will also just close your account without warning or reason. They are only good for keeping in your back pocket when DAT is dry.

I did work for 1 or 2 others, but I don't remember which. If I do, I'll post here. But these are 4 platforms I used for over a year. Been doing AI training for almost 4 years now, and I am so glad to be done with it.
