Here I was, feeling like the "areas for improvement" section was tearing me a new one, only to open the quality snapshot and see Outstanding... Way to keep me on my toes, I guess??? 😅
Still feeling like the critiques are pretty subjective, though

I'm getting a little skeptical about the accuracy of this feedback. A couple of the points in my "room for improvement" section refer to errors that I'm certain I didn't make. I really wish they would let us see the specific tasks being referred to.
Same. Mine stated that some of my rationales have not been detailed enough, and gave two specific one-word examples. I'm pretty sure I've never left a one-word rationale in my life. Not that I couldn't make a mistake, but I pay particular attention to what each project wants regarding rationale length since it varies from one project to another. My overall rating was "good", and I feel both disappointed and slightly relieved.
I experienced the same. I make it a point to be extremely detailed when relevant so I highly doubt that that feedback is accurate. I think a lot of it is terrible R&R workers that barely read. Anyone can get R&R projects, no telling what some people do in them.
That shit REALLY scares me, honestly. I think these bots that give feedback take a lot of consideration from those projects and who the hell knows if we can trust that user whatsoever. They could be gone by now!
I’ve been doing this for like 3 years, I’m not worried about it. I like DA, I enjoy the work, flexibility and the pay, but from the get go it’s always been very clear that we can be dropped at any time. I just do the best work that I can possibly do while staying sane. It’s comforting when you just accept that all you can control is the quality of the work that you’re doing right now.
The wonderful things that DA helped me realize is that I do not want a boss anymore, I’m very comfortable working as a freelancer, and in order for that to work I can’t rely on one single client or revenue stream or I might as well just be an employee with a boss.
mine referred to a project i never once worked on
Same!! And I’m 100% sure I’ve never worked on it because I don’t have the equipment to.
Yeah it's definitely not a fully functional rating system, so I doubt I'll be taking it seriously, even if I got a positive rating
Yeah same. The positive feedback was nice and reassuring but the negative feedback was quite vague and made me a little paranoid. Makes me think maybe it's designed to make you double check your work more, literally to keep you on your toes lol
The areas for improvement section is definitely a humbling experience.
It also directly contradicts the positive feedback section 😂
I feel like the critique comes from the inbuilt ai grading lol. I have an unusual longterm memory and I remember those exact same phrases being used by the ai judge in most the projects mentioned. I’d be showed if these are human judges
It literally says its ai generated
Yeah there’s no way a human wrote some of What I had.
Thought I was doing stellar work and got a "Needs Improvement". It was my first feedback. That's a wake-up call. To be fair though, most of the projects it was referring to were projects I don't typically do but started doing when things became slow. Either way, it's nice seeing the feedback rather than not knowing and flying blind. It gives you the ability to slow things down and change course.
Got a solid rating on mine; it made me want to strive for an Outstanding or higher next time out.
I've fallen from Outstanding to Good. Probably fair.
I'm starting out with a Good; better than a Fair or a request for overall improvement!
Projects have been sporadic at best lately. The work I've had has been minimal and never consistently one project which I could get the hang of. I've given up screen refreshing, partly because I'm technically on holiday. And yet, as soon as I see "feedback" mentioned I'm on it like a kid ripping open his Christmas presents. Don't we all just love a bit of validation? Anyway, apparently the work I have actually done had been Outstanding. Today's gonna be a good day 🤣
Went from Good to Outstanding, which has made my day!
It made my day, too. And I REALLY needed it!
I went from Good to Outstanding! I was expecting to get an Excellent rating, so I'm very pleased. Well done at getting the Outstanding rating, OP!!
I got Good last time too, so this was definitely a pleasant surprise
Got my first one today, it made me smile big time. Someone said "far and away the best response I've seen to date... making it an entertaining read in the process", and another "I've never laughed out loud to a rater's comment before this one". My attention to detail was "amazing", said detail was "ultra-specific and helpful... Providing actual quotes is great for helping the models improve." Really feels good that people enjoyed my work.
One thing that really bothered me is a contentious fact-check I did that the feedback model still whined at me about. I KNOW I was right on that fact check, and yet it reared its ugly head again a couple weeks later. Overall Excellent rating, however. Hell yeah
How are you making people burst out laughing from your comments? Are you a wizard?
Seems like this might be a monthly thing now?
Mine was similar, a bunch of very minor things I can improve but then an "🔵 Excellent" rating!
yeah, the fact that the title had [MAY 2026] listed makes me think they will start doing these monthly, which would be terrific!
you get feedback? how?
it randomly appears as a task in the work area. It's kinda fuckin' hidden, but if you're drought refreshing trying to tag a task you'll see it.
does anyone know where to read them over again? I submitted mine but I kinda forgot to read the what I did good section lol
Second feedback meanwhile I haven’t had one yet 🙄
I got good to good 😂
Still waiting for my first feedback
where to see the feedback, i didn't saw any on my side
I think it is being rolled out region by region? It will appear in the projects tab when you get yours.
I received my first feedback project today (been active for almost 2 years, have quite a few of the new acheivement badges) and was getting genuinely paranoid about never receiving it. Scored an Excellent. Was very satisfying.
Mine only said I needed to improve on projects...that I have literally never touched. Literally never did the projects with that name. It said my best project was something I did if I didn't have my preference project, didn't mentioned any project that I have 300+ hours in. wao thanx AI-guy.
Update actually, I just hit a new one that gave way better praise. I'm actually over the fuckin' moon right now.
I got outstanding too! With everything going on in my life right now this was such a refreshing thing to hear. I work so hard on these projects and it says only 10% of people get rated outstanding!
Congrats on the feedback! (the “outstanding” at least😂)
I can’t see anywhere to find the feedback, and I can’t remember how I saw it last time. Does it in the main dashboard area for everyone?
Yeah, it just shows up in your projects, for whatever weird reason
What are the different rankings? I've heard:
Are there others?
Where do you actually get the feedback? As an email? As a task? As a qualification? I don't understand it, I've never seen it before.
Slight deviation...is this platform available in the UK? Can you task from the UK?
Yes! UK is one of the core regions.
Is there a different application link from the US platform or they've centralized all operations on a single site.
I'm in the US so you might want to double check with someone in the UK, but i believe it's all just the one site.
Okay. Was on the site, and a part of the assessment section is quite Americanized in terms of questions.
It's my understanding (someone pls correct me if I'm wrong) that the site automatically sends you to the correct signup for your region based on your location. So if you are on vacation in Spain when you sign up, for example, you would be locked in to Spanish bilingual. Make sure you are in your home region and NOT using a VPN when/if you sign up!
Expected that, too so let me do a rerun.
The way I dropped everything to read my feedback, you’d think I was facing execution.
