I was AFK the last 2 weeks, was doing pretty nice on prolific (13eur x day in average considering I'm in Italy) then I came back two days ago.

All I've seen is studies being already full. Same number of studies but always full. Before you had the chance to even get in a few of them (especially the in-study screening or the italian ones) but now is always full.

Now, I do know the number of participants has increased from approx 190k to 350k in less than 6 months but is that all there is to it? What was the point of us having to wait for months/years to get in while my friend who has the same demos like I do got in same day?

Just to be clear, I'm not blaming Prolific: their product, their choice. Greedy company all you want but they know what's in their best interest. I already do have a steady lovely job and I'm pretty confident I can find something else that gives me a better profit than 200eur x month therefore I'm trying to understand if this is some kind of wave or it's new to you guys also.

Thanks in advance.

As title says I'm trying to understand if even just opening prolific from another country in Europe, could lead to a ban or on hold.

I've received 2-3 messages and as you might know, it's not possible to read them in the email they send you.

Unfortunately I won't be home for a few weeks so was trying to figure that out since one of them might be from Prolific itself. Obviously wouldn't even want to start a study.
