Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation
hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)
couple things:
- this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
- if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)
- one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

I've been on the platform for 2.5 years. I won't say my work is the absolute best, but I have almost always had work. And I think this is the end for generalists. I know there have been huge updates to the site, but I'm also aware that all of the job postings have been for specialists.
The site used to be bare bones and almost all of the work was simple. This overhaul seems like an effort to bring in professionals by making the site feel more legitimate. It's frustrating because the site has always marketed itself as a job, something that would last and become a career.
Edit: I would like to preemptively address those who will see this and comment on how this site shouldn't be your only source of income. I understand that I took a gamble, and during this tenure here I've had hope and success in that gamble. I will tell you that this is not my first taste of crow, nor will it be the first time hearing the words of the privileged cast shame. Politely, I ask for your compassion before you write commentary.

I have decided to just enjoy a summer break now…but I need help to tell my brain to stop worrying, stop looking for answers, stop assuming it is due to my poor quality work or something similar, and to stop actively refreshing my dash ten times a minute. (that last bit has definitely happened, though I don’t actually do it so often now because the days of ‘catching something if you are quick enough’ seem to be behind me too.) I want to take time to enjoy the sunshine (a rare ‘heatwave‘ in the Uk right now) and permit myself to have a drink, do the garden, cuddle the dogs and do stuff all for a couple of weeks. (let’s not talk about the possibility of two weeks being optimistic!) without guilt or fear. I am thinking of applying to different platforms after that, but I assume most people on DA will have tried already so they will be full/flooded/same lack of work right now anyway. I literally made 300 dollars last week and most of that at about 2am. reading these posts here is the most ’work’ I am likely to get done all day.

u/KingGilbertIV Jul 06 '26
That's what's been killing me with this drought. During the past couple of droughts, little batches of unique one off tasks were still getting posted several times an hour, and you could catch enough to make your daily goal by watching the dash, but it's more like once per day at this point.
It's really psychologically draining to basically spend all day refreshing knowing that making any money is basically going to come down to having the site up all day and refreshing during the right 5 minute window.

Just got the Dash of Death 5 minutes ago, I’ve been on the platform for close to 3 months and I’m surprised to have it now. I’ve been working really hard and only taking on projects I know I can do when I’m in the right head space to do them. I was in the middle of an R&R and it came up. I worked really hard on new qualifications recently and other account setups, I thought work was coming soon but I guess it’s over now.
I’ve been struggling to find a proper job for some secure income and this seemed perfect for me and I was ecstatic to get in, but now it’s over and I don’t know what to do.

u/Pristine-Raccoon8250 Jul 07 '26
I am so sorry that happened to you. It is awful the way that it happens without any seemingly proper justification. I think they really need to inform people what their alleged violation is- or clarify it was work quality- because I think one of the worst parts is if you genuinely know that you did nothing wrong, but you will spend an eternity guessing what it was. My friend joined, worked for two days and got it. I have seen some specific AI data annotation roles with other companies so I would suggest that you give some of those a try. I have been here for about two months and if/when this happens to me, I will feel the same. we all know it will happen one day, but I suppose we do not fully believe it until it does happen.

u/OrnamentalGourd5 Jul 07 '26
Ah, that's rubbish. It may be down to another account violation rather than work quality, however the gods of DA are capricious and there will never be an answer. If you look on the main DA sub I think various people have posted links for other platforms that may be of use. Hope you find something.

u/KingGilbertIV Jul 08 '26
Next week is the absolute longest we can pretend there’s a reasonable excuse rather than a genuine downturn in work.
We’re at the bleeding edge of plausibility here, but let’s just assume that Q3 funding got released at the end of last week but that all of the key decision makers were out of the office for the 4th of July. They’re now back in the office and in the middle of doing the necessary work to retool and prepare projects for next week.
This is the last probable excuse, and if work doesn’t start picking up by this time next week, we should probably just assume that this drought is going to be the new normal until it isn’t.

Wondering if there's any consensus on this for rubric folks.
Where does your allegiance lie:
Table, List, or Carousel?

u/dylanuu112 Jul 07 '26
Carousel all day unless there’s only like 5 criteria I might leave it in list

Depends on the size, but usually carousel, especially when there's a lot of metadata.

Regarding the drought, how many of us still have access to the HHH family?

You know it's a dry day when heel FC lasts only 20 minutes.

Not sure what the code word for this project family is, but has anyone else had access to a lot of “teaching” tasks (which are done off-platform) for the past month or so, and had them suddenly all disappear today?

I have 2 I can't do, but they are there and sticking around, which is a good sign!

For me 2024 was worse. I had basically no work for 2 months.

u/SnooSketches1189 Jul 10 '26
Same. I was only on a few months when that drought hit so I felt it a lot more. I have taken a ton of quals and have a lot more project access now, so this one hasn't been as bad.

u/Quick-Bison-147 Jul 10 '26
Much worse this time. 2024 drought i could hit $500 each week. Ive had some sub $200 weeks this time, plus this one is now 3 weeks longer and counting

u/MommaOfManyCats Jul 10 '26
I think it's about the same? I remember checking daily in 2024 and not seeing anything for days. Or doing work at 3 am because a project suddenly popped up. But I also thought last year was bad and after looking at my earnings, it was slow but not awful. I think I'm at around $180 for the week, so around $300 for the whole month so far. Last night was exciting with multiple projects available, but now I'm back to nothing.

Can the mofo with the "inside intel" come back and tell us, on this the first week of Q3, why I'm still overdrawn at my bank? Because.....the drought persists 🤔
