    My Prolific page is full of AI studies at the moment. A couple of days ago ,as previously mentioned, I did 2 £17.50 surveys (for about 30 min) . Lately there has been up to 9 different  notifications of AI studies waiting, paying £15 each (for an hour). I try to do 2-3 of these a day. With a day off today, I have done another 4 !!

    • Re:  Consumer goodsBy Charlie Hirsch.    Not part way through but I kept being offered this Study and reserved a place every time - Every time the little circle went round and round and I was never able to Start.  Then it said, something like, try again later.  I tried reserving a place about five times but was never able to access it.  
    It was not the usual:  "Study full" but seemed to indicate that there were quite a large number of places still available.  I wonder if there is a technical problem.  Thankfully I did not start the study then find that I was being asked to  Return it as the study was full.

    I have stepped back a bit because I kept having to Return Studies (involuntarily) and once, with all different studies, about five in a row asking me to Return the study as it was full.

    If you have contacted the Researcher have you had any reply yet, Slinky?

    I got the same Survey Closed page, so I messaged the researcher and reported the study, since they are not supposed to disqualify anybody in the course of the study, and said I expected to be recompensed for my time.  I also submitted the study with NOCODE.
