    I was thinking as the same. It is also very much related with geographical location.
    But, then I saw some people having 15-20 surveys per day with similar profile with me and same geo-location. Besides surveys mismatch to our profile information, I believe there are so much surveys that we are 'eligible' but they are not coming to our personal wall. For this reason, I was looking study-ids to test it. 

    Don't forget some surveys close extremely quickly as they have a limited number of places. If I wasn't furloughed at home I would never normally have been able to completed these surveys

    I think I've been missing out on a lot recently as I see them posted here - studies on similar subjects that I've done before so would probably be eligible for - but they never show up on my wall. I guess, with so many people working or furloughed at home, that they are filling up more quickly than usual, and lots of them come and gone in between the auto-refreshes.

    I suspect that if one has done a survey on a particular subject, one may well be specifically excluded from being invited for another similar study.  (This is of course different to being invited for a follow-up study.)  I have had a survey or two lately which said that if I had completed a similar survey I should return the survey.
    But I guess that the best way to find out whether giving this kind of link is acceptable would be to ask Prolific themselves, rather than take the risk of finding that they don't like it happening and may possibly close accounts as a result of it.

    There was one posted here the other day that was part 4 of a study that I'd already done parts 1-3 of - I was a bit put out that that one didn't appear for me. I'd have thought I'd be assured a place.

    I tried this one from  your list, 5e7caa249984aa2fb66f98d5 and it said I was ineligible.  So obviously my face doesn't fit.  It does say it needs a webcam/microphone so maybe somewhere in the settings I've said I don't want those kinds of surveys.  Which I don't.  I hardly ever get the ones mentioned on here.
