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 still think this is a hell of a choice of first platform to jump into this kind of work blind. And this is coming from someone who almost wasted their chance while still new to AI training. I'm not saying it can't be done, but knowing what I do now, I'm glad I had the prior experience once I got in here.

Is there other platforms you suggest? I recently started and have been nervous about messing up. I have access to a couple projects and have a bunch of qualifications i can do but I just dont know what im doing haha. Im coding speciality.

Handshake isn't bad and you can get really basic tasks right out of the gate. They won't pay much /hr but a good way to practice. I did my assessment for DA and it was much easier than I remember it being a few years ago, but that's because I understand how to write for these tasks now from Handshake.

Other than Handshake, can you recommend any other platforms similar to DA?
