Prolific Weeds out workers.... What about Researchers?????
This study asked me to "HEART" 3 pieces of clothing that I like best out of 10 several time.... So.... I did exactly what they asked... And this is what I get:

My 3rd Reply....
I have reported this study and I have contacted Prolific. If you read what you sent me it makes NO sense! This means your study automatically rejected everyone. I will also list this on Reddit for people to watch out for the way you do business and DO NOT RESPOND TO MESSAGES!!! ***You say my selection was NOT consistent?? All the clothing sucked! I selected the best of what I think looked best.....And NOW you don't want to pay me? You shouldn't even be here with this shady business your doing! I take my job here VERY serious, YES....I'm PISSED
