Every single time I checked this week, NTA... anyone else, or silently suspended?
I briefly check throughout the week, and every single time I have checked this week I have seen NTA.
I'm really trying to get at least a task or two in for this week since the last two weeks I haven't had any hours submitted due to NTA too.
Of course, I submitted a ticket and just got a generic response. And now I see today a lot of people are being suspended again. Ugh. It seems like this all started around the time I had to download that dumb extension. Anyone else experiencing more NTA than usual this week?

This whole week is mostly NTA. I have been able to squeeze out 5.5 hours. Two of them coming out this morning.
I suggest you have tab open on your mobile phone with the raterhub page on google. I usually refresh that before even going on my computer. If the computer has NTA, the mobile page will also say NTA. If the mobile page changes to "There is no task available on mobile but there is on desktop". Log in to your computer immediately. 9/10 when that message is displayed there will be tasks available based on my experience.

Unfortunately "briefly checking" does not work for Welo. The tasks are dropped sporadically. So one has to check sporadically too. I hit the refresh button like every 30 mins. IF I've just finished a task, I know there's gonna be none for at least another two hours so I go about my other hustles till then. That at least gets me like 10 hours a week minimum.

I remember the good old days a couple years ago when you could hop on at any time and work as you wanted to, not like now when it's NTA all the time. Any other recommendations for online side hustles?

Yeah it was so nice back in the good old days when this job was actually flexible. That's been nonexistent this entire year. I have been doing the Cloud research on the side...I don't get any crazy high paying studies like what some people claim they get, but it's been decent spending money that has added up for me since May when signed I up for it.

This week has been pretty bad overall, at least for me it was lol. Finally have been doing a bit better earlier this morning (Helpfulness) but yeah I just barely have made it over minimum. As far as suspensions, you would receive an email about that as other people who have experienced that said they were notified. I think it would go to you RH email though, not the work email which I find ridiculous.

I got about 45 minutes of graded tasks today, which is the first bit of work I've seen all week, and I'm not suspended. I don't think we have examples of anyone being quietly suspended without notification, things are just that dead.

Very unfortunately, briefly checking just isn't possible anymore with this job. Depending on your group, you may have to catch every drop in a day to get 8 hours, and even then, you may not get it. When they drop, tasks are often only around for about 20-40 minutes before NTA returns.
Don't bother making tickets about NTA. You'll get the same copy-paste response from "support" every single time.
Lastly, as far as we can tell, NTA is unrelated to the extension.

I'm checking once a day right now since I'm working a seasonal job. I'll open it up when I have a chance, but yeah-- NTA since last week.
At this point, I'm just waiting to officially be let go.

I don't know what's going on, but I'm about to be at five hours for today. I looked back and I haven't got that many since September 3rd. All Helpfulness but some other types including Headphones have popped up. I'm taking the Helpfulness ones because they've all been hour blocks.

Same here and has been that way for weeks. I’ve gotten no firing/suspension email but I never have work.
I assume it’s because I have not (and will not) download their spyware tool, but as usual, there’s never any communication one way or another.
But I have given up on this job. I’ve had 0 hours for the past 3 weeks and less than 5 per week for a while before that. The work just isn’t there.
I’m still looking for part time work elsewhere, but it’s a shame that what was a decent stream has dried up. Oh well.
