There are a fair number of people around who are working on qual'ed hits (I think) - who continue to do well.

So, there's still money around. But it's getting harder and harder. It's already Oct (school is back). So, w/o old quals (or new quals) - it really sucks

It is super slow lately. Noah Turk's fantasy chats are all I can get most days. Still waiting to be accepted into Prolific since I missed the chance in February. Still nothing from Cloud Research either..it's rough out here.

I'm not sure what happened. I was still getting a good amount of surveys and then out of nowhere it just sort of stopped. I noticed there's been more scammy requesters as well on MTurk(the ones asking for a website URL for $10) and the "website unavailable" errors.

I get that you do need quals for special batches but what happened to just surveys? It seems like one day all the requesters just got together and decided not to post on MTurk anymore. I've caught only one $1 survey so far today where before i can make a consistent $20-30 a day just from surveys. :(

I'm on all 3 platforms and see a lot more work on Prolific not so much on CC yet . Study season just started so give it some time, i agree this summer was just the worse i've seen it for surveys . Do you have the "CR Research Group #1 GreaterThanOrEqualTo 100 qual"? Seems like a lot of people that are not getting studies do not have that qual

I do not have CR1 or CR2. I have this qualification though on the StudyLabs hit "b99599ff has not been granted - Your Values "100". I'm not sure what this means but i do remember accepting that StudyLab HIT and returning it because i didn't have time for it. I'm also on Prolific and CC as well but like you said CC is slow. I just want to understand what happened to Mturk. So many great years on the platform and i can almost say it's "dead" now.
