August started to feel better… but this week feels like a step backwards again
The first two weeks of August actually felt pretty encouraging for me. It seemed like the work Prolific has been doing to address the “study full / high demand” issues was starting to pay off.
I was seeing fewer of those messages, I could actually get into more studies again, and my earnings started to recover. After the last couple of months, it genuinely felt like things were finally moving in the right direction.
But now, going into the third week of August, I don’t know if it’s just me, but it suddenly feels a lot like the previous two months again. More studies showing up only to be full/high demand almost immediately, and that feeling of progress seems to have stalled.
I really appreciate whatever the Prolific team has been doing behind the scenes, and the improvement during the first half of August definitely gave me some hope. I just hope this week is a temporary rough patch and that things continue improving.
Not gonna lie, though, it’s getting a little frustrating again after finally feeling optimistic for a couple of weeks.
Anyone else noticing the same thing this week?
