Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

They said something about hardly any tasks taking longer than 50 minutes which is why they changed it. I agree its harder to fit the long ones in now. I often seem to get any quick ones at the start of a session and end up with only 30m or less for the long one that's bound to pop up next. It would be easier if you always got a long one first with 50 minutes to play with.

I think they've catered for the time commitment people with the dynamic rewards - you can now just do one task, quit and still be paid, albeit proportionately.

I definitely preferred how it was before. I understand the dynamic rewards thing but it should allow you to go 10/15 minutes over with additional pay if necessary. Plus they should have stuck with an hour long sessions. Maybe things will change again after the next lot of feedback surveys

I am currently doing the quiz for a new type of check - as always their ratings don't always make sense compared to each other.

I'd really like a new style of check - I've had nothing but the side by side ones for ages and I'm so bored with them now!

Parents' views on digital technologies

Anyone else have issues with this one?  It didn't seem to submit when I'd finished and took me back to the start of the survey again.  I've submitted with NOCODE and messaged the researcher, but wondering if it was just me (or if I missed something!).

I had the same and also submitted with NOCODE but I've been paid for it already so must have been ok

Interesting new message about the Ai fact checking on the dashboard.

I'm not seeing that (all I have is yet another invitation to an AI study) - what does it say?

@MePlus4 - I got paid in the end as well and had a nice message from the researcher apologising, so all good!

Interestingly, I had one of the other style fact-checking ones yesterday which doesn't seem to be doing dynamic rewards as I got paid the full amount even though I submitted early when I finished my last task!

It's in messages. They're removing geographical restrictions as a temporary experiment. Supposedly you can now do Ai work while on holiday. I don't know if I would risk it.
