I think it's sorta slow, from what I see on the forum but, I feel like if you get there early and can stay busy, you're fine.

EDIT To be clear, you'd have to get on before the slow time and pick up anything you can to tide you over the 2 hours.

I have this general idea in my head that early it's hit or miss...7-9 tends to be slow..9 it picks up pretty well then between 11-1 it's dead for lunch before it picks back up and then the evening is hit or miss like last night I made 30 bucks in like 2 hours.

Now obviously that isn't everyday but I feel like a lot of days go that way.

@Despairagus Happy Birthday to my favorite veggie!

Sounds about right. I think if you can get on around 5, then grab anything possible, you might have enough to stay busy. Once I start grabbing stuff, I like to have anywhere from an hour to 2 hours of turk ahead of me, if I wanted to stop and clear my queue. So, I have a bit of padding when it comes to 2 hour lulls. If I'm lax about grabbing things or there isn't much up early, then I suffer along with everyone else. I guess really it's only as dead as your standards are high, if you know what I mean. I just may have different criteria for acceptable HITs. Everyone's different.

My queue fills at 25- is that normal? That wouldn't keep me busy for an hour plus (depending on the HIT of course).

Happy Birthday, @Despairagus !

Happy birthday

I really wish I had to choose between CVT, h2r, and rowan today. That would be a great problem to have.

 

[Katia2019]

@Despairagus Happy Birthday!

Number of HITs isn't the only factor that would take time. 1 HIT could take hours. But, yes. 25 is normal.

EDIT I Pretty regularly do 10 minute studies. 24 of them will keep you busy for a while.

grrrrr it's slow again today too.

 

[Jerami]

OMG!!!!! Happy Birthday @Despairagus !!!!!!!!!!

You're one of my favourite people!!!! :heart:
Hope you have a great one!
