Not sure if this is the best place for it, but here we are. The Indeed listing is already gone, so I can't refresh my memory, but they'd made it sound more like a customer service role. The grammar was a bit of a red flag, but I thought it could have been second language issues, so let's see where this goes. Thanks for wasting my time, guys! And apparently the time of around sixty other people if Indeed is accurate about that. I can still report your job posting even though it's gone, though, so that makes me feel a little better.

They use real money, so they're real reviews?

I've found a simple and easy way for real love

This is probably not even real, I bet they are just scamming the people who agree to do this work by making them pay some fee to unlock their accumulated wages (that don't actually exist) or some similar scheme. If they actually wanted fake reviews at this point they would just use AI instead of paying random people 300 a day.

That's exactly what this is, just a scam.

[–] Rotten_potato@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

You might be correct, they promise just way too much money. If it look too good (and this does, $100 for work thats at most one hour) it's just a scam.

[–] SariEverna@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

You're probably right. It's not something I thought about in the moment since I was so insulted by the astroturfing and I'm not a fast enough typer to give them all my thoughts anyway. I mean, I didn't even get to call them on real money meaning real reviews. If you believe that, I've got a (real) bridge to sell you!

You missed an opportunity to find out who they are, and who pays for fake reviews.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 9 points 9 months ago

Judging by my recent travels, about 50% of the restaurants out there.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 18 points 9 months ago

I applaud your good judgment and moral character. What they are doing is completely unethical and undermines the value of review systems. Kind of disgusted that companies still do this.

Hmm...80 to 160 "journeys" per day, for $250-$350. So you get paid less when you work more?

[–] vivadanang@lemm.ee 11 points 9 months ago

scumbag operations like this are almost sure to jerk you around when it comes to payment, if they pay at all lol. what a shit show.

Is this a sync thing? Even if I download the image I can barely read it

[–] tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Also using Sync. I had to open the post, then click on the image for it to download and be less pixelated. Clicking on the image from the main feed only loads the low resolution image.

[–] dlok@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Youre right when I revisited through this reply notification I can read it clearly. Thanks

[–] Discover5164@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

yes sync does that a lot and it's annoying. voyager does not

[–] dlok@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

This was a while ago now but it seems to be fixed since I posted that comment

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Does everyone else see a boner plane? Or do I need some help

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Dr. Freud says both can be true.
