depends on the requestor. my main batches are usually instant approval. Prolific does auto approval in 20 days which is faster than MTurk.

 

starting to think maybe I only got a lot of hits on prolific yesterday is because it was a sunday, plus it was the superbowl. they probably had a lot less workers than usual.

Improvements to Study Fill Times
Prolific Team
Improvements to study reservation ✅

Hey everyone

We've made some important improvements to how you find and join studies on Prolific. We heard your frustrations about seeing studies on your dashboard but not being able to join them, and we've taken steps to fix this.

Here's what we've improved:

• When studies appear on your dashboard now, you have a much better chance of getting in.
  
  
• We've updated our system to be smarter about who sees which studies based on available spots and eligibility.
  
  
• Studies that aren't taken will now be removed from your dashboard after the allocated time, giving everyone a fair chance to join.

Studies that you can't or don't want to join will disappear from your dashboard, giving everyone a fair chance to join!

The changes are already live, and we're seeing positive results in reducing study full and study in high demand error messages. We're still fine-tuning things to make the experience even better and fairer for everyone.

Keep the feedback coming - it helps us understand what matters most to you and guides our improvements. We're committed to making Prolific work better for our community.

@turker, I've actually noticed this for the past few days. my advice is that if your queue is empty, maybe close the tab and reopen it to see if studies reappear.

 

it was also mentioned later in a comment to a reddit user that the time was only 2 minutes...

 

I have noticed that I have been getting higher paying studies than before. before, I hardly ever got in those.

 

prolific hates me today bleh!

 

This explains why one minute I see 17 tasks, and the next only 3.
