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've had loads of them pop up since yesterday. I clicked not interested, as I don't have a microphone attached to my desktop and don't particularly want to do any speaking studies. As fast as I'm dismissing them more and more keep popping up.

They are currently reporting 37 minutes average completion time, rather than the stated 25 minutes. It seems I was right to avoid them.

I avoided them as well - sounds like I was right to do so!

Yup. That 37 minutes will include the ones that were returned. So the completion time for those that completed would be much more.

Did anyone do the political opinion study, it was quite long and cut me off after eight assessments.

Yes I tried doing this one, it crashed after just 2 assessments for me so I had to return it - now saying that it has 305 spaces, so I guess everyone had to return it!

Has anyone got the $7.50 AI studies at the moment? It sats multiple submissions allowed but it’s only auto approving a few of mine.

I couldn't get them to work. The 'next' button stayed greyed out and I couldn't proceed.

If we are talking about video description tasks, I have six of them cluttering up my surveys deck. Curiously I’m being offered $7 for each not $7.50.

I did three yesterday, one in one and two in another. First one was approved immediately, the other two are still waiting despite them technically being spread over two different surveys.

If it sticks on the main introduction page, there is an "Acknowledge" tab at the top you have to go to, and tick to acknowledge, before the Next button comes alive.
