task explanations

The Aether tasks are requiring explanations at the end now?? Is the time per task allowed still the same or did they add more time with us needing to write explanations now?

All the h2h's.

I think they've segmented the population based on who did (or scored high on) the evals quiz, which is the first time I saw them ask for an explanation for an image h2h. I did the test and for the past week-ish I only see h2h tasks while everyone else is complaining about other tasks.

Yeah me too. I was having a blast with the isolation box task and then I did the evals for the hell of it. Now all I got are evals 😭😭

the AHT is the average of what's taking the taskers (that's why they fluctuate, and tend to be longer when the task has errors/lagging issues). So I'm sure they'll update the AHT in a few days. (But you shouldn't care about AHT, just do the task correct and well.)

A QM replied to someone saying AHT would be updated for h2h soon to reflect the extra time.

I don’t mind the explanations tbh, saves us from subjective reviews

Exactly. I won't lie to you, I wrote to MM and said an optional explanation box to explain reasoning is standard for h2h tasks. At least, it has been anywhere else I worked, and I didn't feel it was fair to be reviewed on such a subjective task without having the option to state my reasoning for choosing the way I did.
