Thank you for the rundown! I legit thought it looked super bad. I'm not so good with that stuff.

From the chart?

It's because it defaults to a one day time period, with Y axis starting at 1900 and ending at 2000. This makes a 1.5% drop look drastic.

They're all surgeries.

On a related topic showing charts that have been intentionally biased to prove a point is a common manipulation technique, and so you should always be careful with charts/graphs. For example, they will only show data from a time period that supports their position and will cut out the rest. Or will manipulate the range shown to make results seem more/less drastic.

Why they all gotta be 10 min videos

1-2 watchers, good.

If a batch of 40 shows up, you'd have to be really unlucky not to catch one of the 40 in that about 1.5 seconds so I suspect the batch of 40 is posted under a different HIT ID so your catcher isn't catching it because it's a not one of the two HIT ID's you are scanning for.

While the title may be the same, some requesters change the HIT ID often making catchers virtually useless as you may catch a few before it is changed and you have to set up another watch for the new HIT ID.

This actually feels like the reason why I can't catch anything, thanks!

1 or 2 watchers usually at 700ms

edit: a batch of 40 just showed up and i caught one manually even and my hit catcher literally didn't get a single one. It caught 2 in like 2 hours so I know it works, but i don't know what's going on

Sometimes a batch that you see as only 40 is actually loading up on more HITs, but there are so many people accepting them that the batch appears to hover around a certain number... When that's happening, sometimes watchers aren't as effective at grabbing the HIT unless you turn off all but one watcher AND turn-off HIT Finder.

Thanks, that's probably it, even if i increase it to like 900 and get no PREs i still can't catch anything even though the exact same task shows up on hit watcher like every minute now.
In fact I usually miss out on like 99% of all hits i see anyway, I'm always late, even with a hit catcher. it gets really frustrating

To test your settings, you should just create a watcher for a batch that's sitting stagnantly. Turn-off HIT Finder, turn on the single PANDA at 1000ms, and just watch the Caught count rise. Does it look like it's accepting about 1 HIT every 1 second? If not then something is wrong.

BTW-What Speed do you have HIT Finder running at?
