Site seemed promising upon signup, but a few weeks in and everything went to hell. Bonuses were promised, but not delivered. They even stopped paying for work that was done. You get no responses from admins other than they don't know and have you spoken to another admin about your problem. Most people sit there all day with empty queues. I recommend going for another company if you want some side gig work. This company treats the workers like crap.
Timed writing tasks that have very strict guidelines. Don't expect to point out AI grammar mistakes, as it must be how they want it.
I read a task that repeatedly used the words also and additionally, 8 times in one paragraph. I stated the paragraph was not perfect, and I got a ding on accuracy. Another time I prized creativity over structure, and got kicked off the project. Do not recommend.
I worked for 17 hours and was only paid for 5. I am owed for 12 hours of work and when I asked about it, I was ridiculed and banned.
I have been trying for over a year to get access. I get emails offering tasks, but whenever I try to go on the site I get a message that says "thank you for signing up...please wait 24 to 48 hours... blah blag. A year is a really long 48 hours dont you think. It's a scam and I wont change my review.
Seemed legit at first when you sign up and start to "task". They'll even pay you like they said they would according to their website...when you earn less than $100. The minute you start to task a lot and earn your "bonus", they'll "ban" your account for no reason and you won't be allowed to log back in. They won't even pay you for what is still owed to you for your work. So, work for this company if you want/like to just make a little bit of gas money for the week (if your tank takes less than $100, that is). But some advice, don't work too much or too hard, because you won't be compensated for it. Reaching out to support does nothing. They'll tell you to create a ticket, which then doesn't get answered, but will just be marked "solved". So all in all, just skip trying them. Not worth your time. Especially just getting $.01-$.04 per task.
This is a company dedicated to the systematic exploitation of people around the world. They do not indicate their payments per task, you always do the work and keep the expectation about how much they will pay you (if pay at all). Its review system uses the same taskers (cheaper) and if the review is bad you can claim, if they agree with you they will pay you cents (literally) of difference in your favor, but they leave you the bad rating. The whole process can take up to 4 months (I have proofs). There are reviews so mediocre that they put you up to -*******% and (as is my case) if you constantly complain they ban you and you have to keep the bad review and WITHOUT PAYMENT. That's the way it is, you provide the equipment, pay for electricity and internet, use your time and put in your effort. Remotasks, puts the abuse, mistreatment, exploitation and pays you pennies in return. WITH LUCK AND A LOT OF EFFORT (80 hrs/week) YOU CAN MAKE 80 CENTS PER HOUR! A very modern take on slavery, they just replaced the whip with the mouse. A round business FOR THEM!
The other review is spot-on. You'll spend most of the time training (Like three hours a day). If you get tasks, you will be interrupted by more training before you make fifty cents. Some of the training is really, really tedious. Some of the training will be impossible to complete and the people who are supposed to help on their Discord channel will not even give you a hint. So I've spent like two weeks mostly training, and now I can't continue with the tasks I've already trained for because I can't get past this one training scenario.
If it's one of those days where you're able to get constant tasks, you will receive an email while you work saying that you've been kicked off the project because your speed is too low. If you try to work fast, and you make mistakes, you get an email saying you've been kicked out because of low accuracy. And by low accuracy, I mean over 90%
The only positive is that they pay like clockwork. The one task I was able to do paid $0.003, and it reflected in my PayPal, haha.
I would not recommend this to anyone because the money you'll make won't cover the cost of the resources you'll use.
Don't start.
I did it for a year.
I learned the highest level tasks (Lidar) and got to the highest level (SR), full time.
Still, I made $ 250 a year.
That averages $ 20 a month!
Don't expect more from them.
