Feels miserable UK

I used to love Prolific; up until a year or so ago there would be linked or high paying studies all the time, yeah I wouldn't always be lucky enough to grab a spot, but they still existed. if you did manage to get a place they paid quick and often decent bonuses. Been a member for years.

Now 90% of my dashboard appear as under £1/$1 studies. I'm constantly refusing studies paying way under the supposed minimum amount. The other 10% of available studies want me to record myself for AI to do god knows what with. Sometimes I get *those* studies, mostly I do not.

I have £40 pending, from tens of researchers all just waiting for their time to expire before they pay up their few pence worth at a time.

Just feels like absolute crap on there now. I'm a f30s in the UK so not an obsolete demographic I wouldn't have thought.

Anyone else feeling the same? Anything better out there?
