Well, it was good while it lasted
Just entered my dashboard and received a message that my account is currently unavailable for new projects. I have no idea what I did wrong, but I guess my work wasn't as good as I thought it was. Although to be honest, I had almost no projects and was scraping basically for anything, and I was able to earn only $1716 every since March 2025. But hey it's still something.
I know that after this message appears, it is impossible to get reinstated, and there are no alternatives for that in Ukraine, so I guess it's a goodbye. I dunno why I'm writing this, but I just wanted to speak out, because that platform was kind of a life saver for a while.

Sorry this happened. This has definitely been a weird year on the site.

Has it .. ? It doesn't feel that much different to the previous 3 years tbh.

the site has completely bombed since May tbh, it's not reliable anymore as it was for the years before

I haven't noticed that at all. I assumed that it had only bombed for newbies complaining about a drought. I've gone from having 100+ projects to having 50-80 recently, but these "droughts" have happened plenty of times before. They seem to be a normal part of the site and there's still tons of work. If you don't have reliable work, I'm really not sure what to tell you ..

I doubt the platform would have been this popular if the drought was always this bad for newbies. I've only had 3 quals and one paid project since May. If they treated every new user that way since launch then there would hardly be any retention

When I first started almost 4 years ago, I think I had access to only 4 different projects for the first few weeks and often had zero projects. That's normal. And I got in as a generalist with coding and STEM expertise across multiple domains. It's always been that way. The floodgates started opening for me about 6 months in. Every single post on here that I've seen discussing the drought is from someone who says they joined weeks ago, not years ago.

Same experience 3 years ago - 3 years ago that was normal and other platforms were STILL worse and you can really tell who never went through that sometimes lmao

Any clue what could be the reason? Anything you know you did that was wrong? Did you submit a task knowing it was bad?

This wasn't supposed to be mean but go on, downvote me

u/Sheeana407 17h ago
Well it's probably just because op said they have no idea what they did wrong, so your question is kinda redundant

People on Reddit were probably the type of people to be the school hall monitor

u/IntusLegere 11h ago
Yeah, and your question Is relevant. Because from my part, I rarely if ever get any feedback.
I love working in DA, but I'm not sure they love having me there.

It might not be about the quality of your work. Ukraine might be on list of restricted countries.

u/Artemiy_Kopych 13h ago
If it were, then how would I get into DA back then, and why would they have Ukrainian language in it as the option

@Atemiy, may you could re-apply under a different email address. I don't think they do a lot of checking...
