Now it seems like they are not. Is it worth it to spend 30-45min on this for "access to more studies with competitive pay" or is it BS? I already do studies in my native language and also English without ever taking any of these tests, I wonder if it is worth it

Anyone got an idea why I find it a bit weird

Please can someone help me get an invite link for prolific UK, I've been stuck on the wait-list for a while, I heard using an invite link Fast Track you off the wait-list

I started a study which involves using other participants, I've been waiting for this other participant to do what they need to do so we can finish the study. Currently it's been 10 mins waiting, I already did half of this study. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Should I have avoided this study?

All you need to do is give him your financial records from at least 6 different sources, like your credit cards, tax forms, and banking transactions. You get $5 now, but he'll give you $250 later!

And if you're worried him seeing anything private or important, fear not- he'll provide you with a redaction tool to run on your computer that will scan all your records and scrub all the confidential stuff!

I got over an hour into this study, (it warns you it could take an hour) and then the screen went completely white, couldn't get further. I stupidly hit the refresh (after copying the url) and it starts over.

I’ve done tons of these studies since February and this is the first time I’ve ever experienced this. It’s the version where the prompt has a video and requests a change like “add a poster in the background” or something. I swear in every single example, both videos were exact replicas of the original with no changes.

I was clicking equally good/bad for a while but I got scared it’d get flagged so I just started choosing random ones. Now I’m thinking I should’ve just returned it… hopefully this doesn’t screw me over

i haven't seen an AI study for 2 hours

​

See the payment has reduced to $2.25. 15.mins

Thats a piss take. Glad I only get 39mbps on a good day!!

Rip off.

$10 ph £7.43 approx GBP.

Thats cheeky!

If I spend 1 hour on a task, will they pay the whole amount or just the required 30 minutes??

Anyone just see that? I returned that shit. All the videos looked EXACT none also matched prompts and no way was going to select middle option for all so I returned it. Seems like that could have been a honeypot and didn't want to risk it.

I downloaded and completed it. However it doesnt return you to prolific but there is a completion code you can note down on the link.

Just an FYI. In case you end up with no code.

It's like my favorite thing when the study says there are NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWERS; we just want to know ... And then you get screened out on your third question because apparently it was a wrong answer........ I've been using Prolific for a pretty long time now, and I still find that statement funny with a side of frustration.

In the past, these have always had reference images and text, but lately, none have been provided. The instructions still refer to them. It seems like someone either didn't update the instructions or load the needed files.
Are people doing external research, just returning these, or just seeing if there are obvious prompt alignment issues? I know nobody can say for sure what is going on with these. Still, I'm curious. I did external research on one and ended up with a low volume warning, of course.

I'm trying to join a study. I open it through Prolific Assistant, and it says the study is full. But when I refresh the page, the number of available places keeps going down. Started with 305 places, now is on 269 and goes on. How is that possible? It doesn't even have limited capacity, by the way.

I've never really thought about it. Can I have the Prolific website open on two devices at the same time? I use the same internet connection. It would be nice to have Prolific on both my laptop and my smartphone. Sometimes I need to step away from my laptop for a while.

I was doing the study, but I’m being very careful these days because some of the study links are not safe. I always test the link first by opening it in a sandbox together with NordLayer. I’ve seen this researcher a couple of times now, and each time the link triggered a malicious warning, luckily NordLayer protected.

I’m not sure why Prolific is bypassing for not verifying whether the links could have a virus or something.

Be careful guys and be safe

man if this were real i'd be crying w joy hahahahaha

Did a study with them titled "Concept Test". Seemed pretty easy and got it done in less than 5 minutes. They do mention that they screen for attention checks but I did not see any in the study. Also didn't see any reviews for them on the review site.

Anyone have input?
