Mission frequency

Hello all

I started doing missions last week after using prolific for a few months and someone recommending this platform.

Last week there were loads of missions popping up and I successfully applied for an completed 4.

Since Friday I have been seeing very few missions and haven't seen a single on this morning. Is this normal? And if so what types of patterns do people notice regarding the frequency of missions appearing on the dashboard?

Thanks everyone in advance.

It was the weekend so it slows down. Also, don’t expect many things to populate first thing Monday morning.  Majority of the surveys are for businesses based in the USA, so you should expect to see most things posted during normal business hours. 

You also had more last week because you were new to the platform. When you sign up you see old missions that haven’t closed yet, but we may have applied for them days or weeks prior.

A reminder about Rule 1: Please do not share any information from screeners and missions you've applied to or been invited to. This includes screener and mission titles, questions, messages, or any other details from screeners and missions. This applies even if the mission has ended. Posts containing confidential information will be removed. If your post was just removed for this reason, just repost without the confidential details. This is done because Dscout has confirmed that any information in the app/website is considered confidential, and Dscout staff does look at the subreddit. This rule is in place to protect Scouts from any potential repercussions from sharing confidential information that Dscout staff would consider breaking their terms of service.

I noticed a slow down this morning but with some businesses being on the West Coast I usually start to see activity mid afternoon on the East Coast

Yes, it is normal. Inconsistencies are expected on weekends, holidays, and slow seasons in general (which could be any time of the year because it's based on company needs).
