One of the big problems with the new AI Sentry system is that it dings your score for returns. They claim that it doesn't, but I have tested this multiple times. Returns lower your score, period. This directly goes against research standards and is very unethical of CRC. Also be aware that your comments added about why you returned a study will be forwarded to the researcher whether you check the box to share it or not. So if you write something highly critical in that box, the researcher will see it and possibly provide negative feedback on you, which also lowers your score. I thought this new system would be an improvement, but it's not. I was also hoping this would attract AI annotation researchers, but nope. If anything there are more garbage studies paying under platform minimums and fewer studies available even when you have "preferred" status. Hopefully it will get better, but as of now this a not good for participants.

This is the 2nd best survey site behind prolific. You can make 10 to 40 a day, although inconsistent. The problem is they love to waitlist(ban) people for literally NO reason. They claim you violate TOS but deep down it’s probably because they don’t need anymore people with your demographics and want new people. They do this VERY often as well. so enjoy your time on cloud and use it as much as you can, because you can legit be banned the following week your accepted. (I been using since December 2024, haven’t violated ANYTHING, even in 1hr surveys i read everything, didn’t fall for trick questions and have consistent answers/ payed attention to everyrhing.) overall; 7/10. Will be a 9/10 if the waitlist bs stopped, prolific is 10/10. Use it instead if u can! (The survey apps on ads/ App Store make like 3$ a day, these are college studies with way more amounts so u get paid more)

not enough $1 + studies
