    I had some pop-up yesterday, but it was during the day when I was at work so as they were an hour long that wasn’t happening

    Lots of people on Reddit talking about how busy Prolific is and how many studies they're getting and since I got phased out of the AI studies I'm lucky if I see two or three studies on my dashboard. It's disappointing.

    Consider yourself lucky, I never had them and all I'm getting at the moment is scraps.

    Quite a few $20 AI tasks up today, unusual for a Saturday. Not as many as it looks as these do not allow multiple submissions so although the number available looks low it isn't going down as fast as usual.

    I've just noticed that I must have passed that video comparison study we had last week as they've now popped up.  Looks like we do one comparison per task, but can submit multiple times.  

    I've been working all day so far on something else though so I can't face starting them right now!  Hopefully they'll still be around tomorrow.

    I’m doing a spate of the $20 ones, but they are really quite boring So it’s a bit of a struggle. On the other hand, I have now pretty much paid for the dehumidifier I bought yesterday.

    Excellent. I thought about you with it being Saturday as you miss a lot during the week when working.

    I've been holding off on answering the question in the "About you" other section which is "Tell us anything else about yourself". I have no idea what to tell them! Has anyone responded with anything interesting?

    No, I’ve left that one blank as well

    We did that as a icebreaker in a meeting once and one of my colleagues said "I've got really bad athlete's foot."
