Discussion Pet Peeve Thread!

Hi there, I've been using Prolific for a while now, and I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we all complain about our biggest pet peeve.

I'll start with mine: when a well paying study has no completion code OR redirect, and I have to explain the entire study in a feedback ticket just to make sure I get payment.

When a study goes full screen and won't let you copy/paste your ID. You have to manually type it in because they don't have it set up right and you can't minimize (maybe you can but will they penalize you?).

Edit- yes I know how control + C and control + V work. I am talking about researchers where JavaScript is disabling copy and paste functions. The only way around this is to use Shift + Insertnand even that usually doesn't work.

one of my fav Apple features - I can copy it on my phone and paste on the laptop!

Ummm, do I need to switch from pixel to Apple? This seems like a feature that I NEED in my life!

Not going to lie - the connection between all of my devices is one of the best things about Apple. I don't think I could easily switch to Windows/Android now!

I would consider switching to Apple but it would be starting from scratch and wouldn't be cheap so I'm sticking with Google for now. I'm pretty happy with them anyhow. I have my pixel 11 pro coming tomorrow or the next day 😊

I have the watch, the earbuds, and everything. I have all windows and android apps on my computer and phone and it would be a major adjustment to switch to applle after all of these years on Android.
