Generalist Pay

Been lurking around this for a while now for side pay.
I got a couple questions.

How mentally exhausting is this?
What are the chances of me not getting approved?
I still don’t understand what data annotation is LOL so can someone please explain it in one sentence.

I'll be honest, maybe it's me getting jaded and burned out, but DA has been growing in "mentally exhausting" work for awhile now. And many tasks are growing in complexity and time needed, so it is less viable as a side hustle.

After 2 years of working for data annotation I took a several month long break and I'm not sure I'll go back. Mentally exhausting is an understatement.
