Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

Four different ones here, and all dry too, at least we're not alone, I guess. I feel like the whole thing needs a refresh.

This month seems to be averaging about £4 a day so far, where as the last 2 months, I did about £300 in the month. Hoping it picks up a bit.

I have surveys titled 'project Lyceum' on my dashboard. They are short - 3 minutes long and pay well. Sadly, every time I open one, it says 404 error, survey not found. Anyone else?

Those of you who have been on Prolific and DA for a while, have there been dry spells like this for extended periods and then have you had it pick up again? This is the first time I've had hardly any work on either platform.

it’s a comparative thing. We’ve got all the AI studies I was maybe making £40 a month on average because of having to fit it around full-time work and life generally.

The AI studies upped the ante and I was earning a lot more. It’s now dropping down more towards that level again because a lot of her studies that I am getting are AI ones that I really don’t want to do because of the sharing of personal data.
It feels like a dry spell, but actually it is comparable to when I first joined. I just got used to the extra.

I use Prolific but not DA I use other ux type sites to mix it up a bit, and all of them are as dry as the desert. I've had this happen a few times, and it always comes back around, my timeline seems to be 3-4 weeks.

I've just had some additional training for the AI Images tasks, with a much more detailed UI rather than just clicking on the one that is most accurate. Only managed to get one task done after the training in the time left and I'm not really sure I 100% understood exactly what they wanted for all the questions, so no idea if I'll get any more work on it or not!

I’ve had a couple of those offered, but they are each an hour long, pay only 6$ an hour with the enticement of promised further studies. I’m not taking them at that pay; either pay a decent rate or I’m not interested.

I agree, I won't do any for $6 an hour.

That's so annoying! The training and task I did were at the normal rate so not a waste of time, but I definitely won't be doing $6 an hour studies.
