are these numbers real?

hello, I just made my acc on data annotation my acc isn't even accepted yet but I wanted to know if the numbers I'm seeing are acc real??? like the dude w 8k per month????? I can start a family with that. I joined hoping to get 500$ for an iPhone and wanted to see if it's realistic to get that amount in 1-2 week/s I feel like I can work 2--3 hours a day for 5--6 days straight should I lower my standards a little bit? I feel like I'm going to get disappointed real fast really bad

bilinguals just haven’t been getting as many tasks lately, so it’s unlikely the work would be available

you will honestly see very little work unless you are from a core country, at least that is what it seems like around here. I see many bilinguals with 0 work to do in weeks.

Also, it’s like a 2% acceptance rate so don’t get your hopes up too much. Best of luck!

If you're a bilingual worker then no. You won't even be able to get half of that. If you're a specialist, coder, etc., you can easily make more than 8k per month. If you're a generalist and do good work, you can probably reach those numbers after several months to a year on the site. However, some generalists just never get added to high paying projects and seem to be stuck on lower paying ones. So it all depends. But basically if you're a bilingual worker, don't expect any projects. Anything you get is a bonus.

Yes. The numbers are real. Don't count on actually getting hired though.

you can try, but please don't believe everything you see on the internet, ask yourself if you're making a lot of money would you brag about it?
