I think it's time to launch a class action lawsuit against DataAnnotation.tech for harvesting user data and other deceptive practices.
I've known about this company for 4 years now. Against my better judgement, I applied last week.
Lo' and behold, I "failed" the starter assessment.
Let me assure you that this is a statistical impossibility. I score 155 on IQ tests and have a high proficiency in English. You can tell just from the way I write that there is a structure and elegance to my thought process that far surpasses that of the average person. Any AI annotation company would be clamping at the bit to have me as an evaluator.
That is - IF - these companies actually value an intelligent and competent annotator. It's clear they *don't*. Just take one look at the DA subreddit. Yikes. No, it's clear that the entirety of their business relies on *data harvesting* the millions of applicants they get each year.
It's about time a class action lawsuit is filed. The amount of horror stories I've read from this company is startling. If you are thinking of applying, I strongly encourage you not to. Do NOT give them your name, location, phone number, LinkedIn profile, ID, resume, and complete psychoanalytical profile by doing their "assessments".
Trust pilot has over 20% 1 star reviews calling this company a scam and it's not without reason. Stay away!
