The screen on my old laptop isn't good enough for the image or video studies and I don't get many AI fact checking lately so if these new studies become a regular thing that would be good.0

Hi, maybe this is not the right place but is anyone finding they cannot use Prolific at the moment because thisoption is freezing them out? The drop down is locked and have a grey screen. i've emailed Prolfiic but have not heard anything back yet.

Message from Prolific saying that the AI fact checking studies are ending. Not a huge surprise but it is disappointing for those of us that were doing them. Hopefully some other good paying studies will come along to replace them.0

Yes, I saw that earlier (wasn't able to post on here for some reason though). Disappointing, but not unexpected.0

Has anyone else noticed an increased number of studies recently that require a Recaptcha to be solved at the start? Usually one of the really annoying ones where once you click you have to wait ages for the squares you clicked to fade out and fade in again with new pictures. I just did one that made me solve at least half a dozen before letting me do the study. I can't help wondering if some researchers are supplementing their income by selling Recaptcha solves to bot-farms.

I've noticed it on Swagbucks, but not on Prolific.

I've noticed it increasingly on Prolific and some of the squares on Recaptcha were so dark that it was difficult to see the pictures in detail.0

Anyone had a series of studies about watching video clips and talking about them? First time I’ve returned studies for being too tedious to complete.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
