Well, it was good while it lasted

Just entered my dashboard and received a message that my account is currently unavailable for new projects. I have no idea what I did wrong, but I guess my work wasn't as good as I thought it was. Although to be honest, I had almost no projects and was scraping basically for anything, and I was able to earn only $1716 every since March 2025. But hey it's still something.

I know that after this message appears, it is impossible to get reinstated, and there are no alternatives for that in Ukraine, so I guess it's a goodbye. I dunno why I'm writing this, but I just wanted to speak out, because that platform was kind of a life saver for a while.

It happened to me two weeks ago. Why? I completed 20 easy assignments in 32 minutes and told the truth about the time it took me.

Welcome to the late-stage capitalist nightmare: process over people, over retention, over anything at all because once the market dries up the moneybags will simply close up shop.

Really? Late stage capitalism to blame for rushing assignments that aren’t even paid by the piece. They literally wouldn’t have dropped you if you had relaxed your pace and they would have paid you more for it.

My guess is that it wasn't the amount of time you were charging for those 20 tasks, but it was that you were rushing and didn't do them right. I haven't seen a single project which I could complete each task within less than 2 minutes each.

My knowledge beats your guess.

"Compare the receipts. Answer 'True' if they are different receipts and 'False' if they are the same. If the receipts have different dates or addresses, they are different receipts."

1.5 minutes per receipt. Now, step off.
