This platform is going downhill
This used to be a good site where you could sign up for user studies and you knew you would get paid. The last 6 months or so there’s a flood of studies that are run by AI which pay very little money. They either put two questions for qualifications in the respondent platform and once you pass them you get accepted only to get ANOTHER link with more questions to fill out in order to REALLY qualify. What’s bad about this is since respondent thinks you qualified, that project is marked as “invited” on their platform even though you’re not really invited to anything. So it becomes impossible to track who paid you and who didn’t as your projects area gets flooded with these pseudo invitations. Moreover, even if you qualify for these AI run studies after filling out additional questions, it’s very possible that they might terminate in the middle of recording your videos and all the time you spent on it are wasted! The studies run like this also never respond to your queries when you email them through the system. It’s all so badly automated that it’s becoming a big waste of time and effort, making me lose my trust completely in Respondent. Unfortunately these types of AI run studies are literally taking over the whole platform. Like I said this used to be a good site but it’s really going downhill in my opinion. In order to cut costs they’re losing quality participants. I guess soon robots will talk to robots!
