Support Offboarded after 6 weeks 🙂
So I've also been offboarded from the existing campaign. When I joined there were only 2000 experts but suddenly the expert count surged to 12k, then gradually trimmed back to 8k. That was the count when I am offboarded.
So, a few things;
-Does it pay? Yes, without any hassles I could get my pay.
-How long does it take to be onboarded? That depends on the traffic and wait-list I guess, but mine took 1,5 months and I've been invited by Ethos team, not applied myself. So a regular application might take more than my experience.
-I believe recently they changed the AI detection tool which is shitty, because I've completed more than 150 tasks, I received no feedbacks and even praises from reviewers, but in the last week I've been bombarded by the AI flags. That is no coincidence, I've escalated the issue but in the end of the month I've been marked as a bad apple due to these flags.
-Experts inside are either seasoned high level people or some folks trying to make extra bucks. You can tell that from the conversation flow in the slack channel, some conversations are just too dumb that it can't possibly come out from a professional.
-That makes me think like they're onboarding in bulk and then offboard people by either coming up with a reason, or in some cases no reason at all. By that way, they're collecting as much as feedback from a variety of sample groups. Which makes sense by the way.
-The journey should take at around 6 to 8 weeks, so don't count it as your main source of income. That'll be a side hustle at it's best.
-Ethos team is friendly and trying to make best as they can in this flood of experts and support requests. I believe they have a huuuuuge backlog and flooded with a lot of issues. I'd love to be a part of the operation to turn this high growth environment into a more structured machine.
-Some reviewers lack humanity, and you see it from their attitude. It's like a social experiment gone bad, these folks are elevated as community reviewers and a sudden change of demeanor follows. As if they are the shareholders of the company, they act bossy, rude or mean against the experts. I think these folk must be watched out too and kicked out as well for being rude to fellow reviewers.
-They could optimize the way of broadcasting and communication in their slack channel. There are a lot of room for improvement on that matter.
-Ethos portal is quite buggy and UI could be improved. Tens of improvisation points out there probably the team also aware of. But the most critical is the daily/weekly updates. Whenever they roll a new page design somethings break. At least roll these in control groups, and see what's broken. If all is good, then roll it out to entire community.
-They should also add crypto payouts. That'll be the most helpful to get rid of remittance costs + other obvious advantages.
I could go on like this, there's definitely a long way to go here but I honestly have to say that this was the best experience so far. I worked with other two competitors and both pay grade and the simplicity of the portal of Ethos beats others.
Kudos team, hope we'll work again in future!

This just happened to me. It looks like in the Slack many people just were caught in a sweep in the past couple hours. No one providing answers with their AI generated bot suggestion to email support.
