    I generally only said that to her because I know how much she considers it a priority is all. For the average dude/dudette who just wants to make an extra $3/day or whatever they let you do before throttling your account probs not an issue. But the conf I was sitting in on today was with them and the levels of control they want to exert on user identity management is directly in "fuck you hire us as employees" categories for me so def prob something she'd think was yucky lol.

    If you wanna track my heart rate while I'm taking a survey about washing machines.. just fuck off.

    "For this section, please place the heart rate monitor on your genitals."

    "On a scale from 1-10, how arousing do you find Maytag appliances?"

    "Sorry, you responded with '3', but the increased blood flow to your penis determined that you were being untruthful. You've been screened out for academic dishonesty. Feel free to try another one of our surveys in the future!"

    Your phone number isn't just randomly out there on Prolific for anyone to see. If a company having your phone number to make sure you're not an Indian sweatshop worker or Chinese prisoner is an issue, maaaan do I have bad news to tell you about your pizza delivery driver...

    You live under the idea that I don't just get pizza from Papa murphy's. I don't tend to order much of anything online and when I do it's under a family member because they have prime. I am very aware of my privacy and my digital identity. I hate every aspect of it.

    I like how you posted this in sarcasm and yet are pretty spot on.

    When you give a presentation and say "our [worker population control] methods are sort of authoritarian" you should just shut the fuck up and stop.
    Are you sure? Because Prolific has handed over the entirety of your demographic profile to requesters in the past, regardless of the screening criteria they requested for their study. Take a study about a dishwasher? Congrats in that dataset your entire sexual preference history, gender metrics, income, et al is sitting in a dataset that hopefully doesn't get pushed to the "open science" movement without them pulling the unique identifier prolific assigns to your account & also attached on to that.

    Sidenote.. How do you think they're using your phone # to verify you aren't some sweat shop worker in [X] place? Because they definitely have to differentiate between a real live American's # and a google voice one. Did you just get a new # and plug it in? Sure hope your demographics matched the last owner's in whatever SV startup they just pulled your metrics from.

    I am all for measures to responsibly ensure workers are acting in good faith. I'm even okay with some of the stretching of those measures if it actually comes with some positive tradeoffs. But Prolific is an ugly combination of heartless, stupid, and incompetent.

    Definite pay drop. This would typically be one of their $5 hits. Lots of reading and several writing prompts.

    They don't allow VOIP numbers. Unless they've changed that in the 5 months since I signed up. Tried GV and two old GrooVe IP numbers that are still active, had to use my real number. No biggie, because I'm not hiding from the Feds or anything, nor do I make $250k/yr and in a position where a data breach would link me to furry tentacle porn or anything.

    I have the right to privacy and so do you. You should never feel like it's okay 'because I have nothing to hide'. That's like taking a piss while being watched. Sure you aren't doing anything wrong but you would still like privacy.
