My PayPal withdrawal hasn't come through its the first time this has happened in 5 years of using prolific

Just to check, does anyone outside the US still get AI study invites before the spots fill up? It feels like everyone outside the US is stuck in 'group 2' and only sees studies with a few spots left.

I have been on Prolific for almost a year with 2,500 approved studies and 0 rejections, but since last Thursday, I receive almost no AI studies anymore, just scraps.

Let me hear your experience! :)

In reality I have none.

Hi all,

I've tried searching reddit for an answer but all the usual fixes (restarting browser, clearing history) haven't worked. I have a study called "The Prolific Poll UK" that I completed and then returned as I was unsure I answered a question right. Since then it has been stuck with an 'Active' status and I cannot do any other studies.

Any advice would be much appreciated, I have contacted support but not sure how long it takes them to answer. I have also contacted the researcher to see if it's anything on his end.

Thanks!

I am about to submit a study where I picked the equal, every single time. Why? Because they are equal.

And I mean. I chose the middle every time. Here we go.

Edit: auto approved. So far so good. 🤞

Edit 2: Next morning and no warning.

Do you know why? Was I removed from the pool? There are many spots left and I see the number going down meaning others are able to participate.

Anyone done one (or more) of these? Researcher is "Bob Sim." There are currently 26 of these on my dashboard that pay $21 each and say anywhere from 53 or so minutes up to just over an hour. They say audio, camera, and microphone are all needed. Just wondering what the camera part is. If it's just being on camera while interacting with a chat bot or no interaction with anyone/anything at all and they just want you on camera for "proof."

The last few weeks it studies have been more frequent and are much easier to get into . Especially the AI ones. Even if I do see the high demand message, I can still get in unless it just took me too long to get to it. Just seems like a lot of people are still complaining and when you make a comment on their complaint post about how your experience is good you get downvoted or attacked. Just wanted to shout out to all those who are having a good experience. And for the ones who keep complaining about not get studies, maybe it's a sign that it's time to move on.

we were doing tax stuff tonight & usually my money situation is a struggle & it’s still not perfect at all but that was the best compliment. just had to share maybe someone here understands lol

Is anyone else receiving AI evaluations which, are only 1 spot and immediately full? We were told that there should be a significant improvement with this after the recent changes and yet here we are again.

Hi everybody,

Today I'm experiencing a lot of studies that are already full. Almost all of them with some tenths of available places on the paper.

Do you have the same?

Has anyone else taken the study where half was 60 questions to pick, which is I suppose morally correct, and the other half was a conversation with a chatbot? I could be wrong but either I'm completely dead inside orrrrr The bot was totally broken. All I know is it said there were no right or wrong answers, and I've been living my whole life wrong... but hey, I got 22 dollars to tell me half of what I already knew...

Anybody else not getting anything at all for the whole day? Last week has been very good and then on friday it slowed a lot. Today there has been totally zero ai studies
