You seem to have been on here a while for a "newbie", Brookside88, not in any way meant to sound negative; your contributions are valuable but I think PA's customers prefer participants who are still wet from the yolk, if you know what I mean. As soon as you have done a couple of dozen studies, you stop smelling so fresh to researchers, imho.

Been doing prolific since May. Oh I didn't think you were being negative. I've heard that theory before. Hope it's not true although I do seem to get less than I did to begin with

Thanks, Brookside88; I am sure you know already but have you checked there are no outstanding eligibility questions? This time last year I had been on PA for almost a year so I can only think there is just too much competition for places, unless you are in some desirable, niche demographic, perhaps.

Yep all questions answered, I did get a 2.20 study just after I posted that which was nice

It was almost exactly this time last year that studies fell off a cliff for me 14 July was my last decent day- and its been a desert ever since. However the new site does tell me that I have done over 600 studies so I guess they are aiming them more at the newbies.

Mrs S - where on the new site does it tell you how many studies you've done? I've been on Prolific on and off since 2014, mostly off until a few months ago, and I'd love to know how many I've done (without having to click all the way back through my survey history!)

Never mind, I've found it, blindingly obvious when I looked properly!

Is this a fancy way of saying they prefer people who have a reputation :rotfl:

I wish I wasnt so bad at English at times.

It has been a little quiet the last week, but had worse times, and it says something about other survey sites that prolific is still dwarfing them.

Yes, mike; the reputation of having been newly hatched and therefore off-the-chart naive. I am utterly stuck in the desert and doubt I will be cashing out without fees this side of September, if ever.
