    Yea also though I have noticed a bit of a lag with catching hits on the worker side just prior to being logged out.

    Just the opposite, @dan. On Thursday I swear I got no captchas. Friday, I was getting a ton of them.

    Last week, though, I got a lot of random signouts on one day. I forget which day, though.

    got 1 2factor last thursday, 1 last friday, 30+ on tuesday, 30+ on wednesday, 4 on thursday. I noticed that the 2factors kept spamming until I closed chrome.

    Some of those 1sets may have been actual normal ones from clearing cache and logging in on different devices. Don't remember.

    I can't report on those anymore but there was a time in which captchas were gone for everyone for a few days several months back if I remember correctly...

    Consider it the Amazon Web Sphere drunk texting you seeing how you doin' on a 'hump day' and trying to make some of those sweet sweet weekend plans.

    I'd be really interested to see if the people who had no captchas for a bunch of days eventually got masters. I know I still had captchas back when everyone said they were gone, and I didn't get masters in the last go around. Maybe that was amazon testing them out for masters or something?

    It was people who did the new quals Amazon had out iirc. I did them and didn't have captchas for awhile. Sadly, they returned.

    My no captcha's day, it only happened for one day. I didn't change anything with my usual HIT hunting habits.

    I have been senselessly requesting the Masters everyday. I know it does nothing but it's my placebo. :)

    That was a theory floating around for about a minute or two then people just hammed the mess out of batches that were up. I believe nearly everyone capped on those days that wanted to since A9s, CI and a bunch of other batches were up. I think @Hummingbirdee may be right as I did do a few of those new qualifications that helps line Amazon's pockets that much more.

    That rejection has me all temporarily paranoid. I'm sitting here at the end of a survey at 11 minutes, legitimately read & answered properly, and the "click here to get to the survey" page says it should take me at least 20 minutes...

    Eh. It hurts nothing to let it wait another 9 minutes. Hope my power doesn't go out. :emoji_fingers_crossed:

    Agreed. I generally average about $250 a week, for reference, and today I made $17.99.

    Also, hello and welcome! :wave:
