My guess is this fall will be slow. You have a lot of colleges still figuring out what exactly they should be doing while trying to maximize profits out of their students by bringing them back and then going online only after the inevitable outbreak of Covid.

Work will probably be more *steady in the spring, but I don't think it will reach the same amount of work till later next year when colleges are back to normal if a vaccine is to the public at that point, which the CDC head said will not be till 2d quarter 2021 at the earliest.

Edit: I can't type good.
I did touch base with a couple of requesters and professors and they said there are grant and loan issues and backlogs this year so they aren't running things the same way they usually do. Another requester was on twitter asking for donations so he could pay a higher wage for his crowdsourcing. (crowdfunding crowdsourcing!)

We just launched a survey that you qualify for! It is paying $1.25 and most people complete it in about 16 minutes.
I used to make $36/hr.

Just, you know, adding to the cheer.

I feel the same way too, its amazing that i had record breaking months when covid was in full swing then by mid aug it was all tumbleweeds. Who knows it might just pick back up randomly this month. Lets wait and see
Spring semester of this year was still operating under an expanded budget though since all of that was planned out pre-Covid. At this point, they know they won't have the money they did last year so you have budget cuts, increased costs of adjusting to the pandemic, etc.

I found this task to be a bit buggy. I accidentally clicked somewhere I wasn't supposed to and then the game did not advance. I e-mailed the requester and only gently threatened them, but we shall see.

I am comparatively new to this platform / wage work / way of life. I am utterly fascinated by virtually all aspects of it. I am curious, in your opinion, what is the most significant thing that has changed on AMT during your tenure? This same question can apply to anyone interested.

I'm sorry, but this question does not offer any financial compensation. :wink:
Exactly what jan @jan said.
plus a lot of RQ's still see how low they can go on HIT's or a batch< when you can find one
also one big change over the years is the constant barrage of having to prove you are not a bot, which is total nonsense due to some random post someone made years ago
and, in fact, a bot would not be dumb enough to do most of the crap we put up with...
:)

Question for everyone....when you see a hit you want to get and you add it to your Panda catcher (Like CrazyPanda for me)...how long do you let it search...like how many days until you give up catching it?? Just curious...I see a lot I want to get, but I have no idea if some are even active anymore, etc.
