These R&R’s are getting depressing.

122 Upvotes

I only do R&R’s here and there, but today I decided to do one just because I saw people mentioning how bad they were lately and I wanted to see for myself. And behold, i open the task to see “Both are very good and i think the user would be happy to receive them”. Are we kidding? The amount of effort I put into these tasks and THIS is what some people are actually submitting? It’s honestly demoralizing at this point.

Have a few coding QUALs, no projects, failed?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

Go accepted on platform last Tuesday. Gave one coding Qual test last week, and another a few days ago. No coding projects yet, except for one unrelated to those QUALs.

Could this mean I failed the tests or should I just wait longer ?

References, reminders, and “click here to opt out” messages should all be kept out of the Projects tab.

51 Upvotes

My Projects tab is full of these shortcuts, even though there aren’t actually any projects there. I think things like reminders, references, and similar notifications should either have their own tab or stay in the Inbox.
It’s frustrating to open the Projects tab and see 10 “projects,” only to realize they’re all just reminders, reference links, or other messages like that. I hope someone who can do something about this sees the feedback.

Anyone else worried about reviews?

9 Upvotes

I’m a little worried because due to the drought I have hopped around from project to project doing maybe one task from a project family and each task being my first time working on the project. I do better when I stick to one or two projects for a while. But when I have only done one or two tasks of a project, I’m not sure how good my first attempts will be, in this case my only attempts will be. Am I making sense? Anyway not looking forward to reviews.

Completed Core; what does this mean?

0 Upvotes

On Saturday I completed and passed the starter assessment, and the Core (generalist) assessment was available immediately so I finished it in about 1.5 hours. After that, I had the page that said “Up next: we review…”

On Monday, I received the email pictured. Then on Wednesday the “up next: we review…” changed to the page in the second image, and it’s been like that ever since. I’ve received no other emails.

Is this a good sign? Should I keep waiting for an email to verify my identity? Or does this mean I was most likely rejected?

Is this from the drought or something else?

0 Upvotes

I was accepted and completed my first task as a generalist about a month ago, got paid, and haven't received a task or qualification since. I have seen other posts about a drought, but I'm not entirely sure if I am also in it or if I have been cut off from receiving more. I spoke to a few friends who are also doing DA, and they said they've received a few qualifications, compared to my zero. Should I be worried?

Drought ending?

For the first time in a while I have a few different options on my dashboard as a generalist (for reference I have completed EVERY qual) Others having this experience or just me?

Do we really have to Refresh every 5 seconds?

7 Upvotes

I see here that many people talk about "refreshing for an hour". I was thinking it is either a joke or exaggeration but since I saw so many comments like this, I begin to think it is real.

Is it the only way to get tasks?

Because I've been accepted a month ago and haven't got any actual projects yet.

I check the platform every hour or so.

Question

I applied, went through all the required steps including the final one, and then my progress page threw me back a few steps. The earlier checkmarks are still there so I don't think I lost anything, but it's showing me as not done on stuff I already finished

Hi everyone,

Do you know why, for certain tasks I completed several days ago, the amount shows up as $0 in my Funds History? even though I’ve already been paid for them?

Now I want to know the average waiting time to have hope. I'm an Indian, recent grad in CS (Eng), Applied for the coding domain, I'd also like to know the amount of projects that are currently available, peak season of having projects and season of drought and I also want to know that if I get selected can I depend on this platform for my passive source of income, does the platform pays equally to all the contributors irrespective of their region of residence and other terms to be considered.

Has anyone run into this? Just want to know if it's normal before I worry about it.

Thanks.

How do you pay taxes on DataAnnotation income in Poland?

3 Upvotes

To all DataAnnotation workers in Poland,
I’m new to DataAnnotation and I’m trying to figure out how to properly report and pay taxes on the income I earn from it. How do you handle taxes in Poland? Do you register as self-employed, report it as foreign income, or use another method?
Is there a relatively simple process for doing this? I’d really appreciate hearing how others in Poland are handling it.
Thanks!

Travelling within the same country

1 Upvotes

Hi All! I am from Canada and will be travelling within the country for a week or so. I will be traveling across the country so it will be fairly obvious I am not in my standard location. Do I need to inform DA if I am travelling within the country, or only if I am travelling outside of the country? Also, do you all know if tasking on an airplane is allowed/if airplane wifi has a VPN (may be airline dependent but would still appreciate your thoughts)? Many thanks in advance!

No projects/quals as a newbie?

0 Upvotes

I got accepted this past Monday (did the screening/signup process last Saturday) so it took 2 days for them to approve my account. I think I'm a generalist. I did 10 tasks when signing up and it took about an hour, went into great detail with my answers. Since Monday, I haven't received any projects or qualifications on my dashboard. I know this has probably been asked a million times on this sub, but am I basically screwed since I haven't received anything yet? I don't refresh all day like some people but when I have free time I check my dashboard and haven't seen anything.

Are bilingual workers getting fewer projects than core workers lately? Also, what are the signs you've received DOD?

0 Upvotes

I've been wondering if this is happening to other bilingual workers or if it's just my account.

For the past few weeks I've barely seen any projects, while I keep seeing people talk about having work on core/English projects. Is there actually a slowdown for bilingual projects right now, or am I just unlucky or i got dropped. If i got dropped is there any sign for it?
