What workers are reporting

Payment delays, bans, rate changes and new project waves, collected daily from worker communities and summarised in one sentence each. Every item links to the thread it came from, so you can read the full story before you decide anything about a platform.

Each item is one worker's account, not a verified fact. Reports about a problem with a platform appear only after two separate threads mention it, and three reader reports hide an item.

Common questions

Where do these reports come from?

Public threads in worker communities on Reddit: r/aidatatrainingjobs, r/mercorai_workers, r/micro1, r/aitrainingjobs. Each item is a one-sentence summary with a link to the original thread, so you can read it in full and judge for yourself.

Are these claims verified?

No. Each one is a worker's own account of what happened to them, not a proven fact. One person's bad week is not proof a platform is a scam. Reports about a problem with a platform only appear here after two separate threads mention the same thing, and anyone can press Report: three reports hide an item.

Why does this matter before applying?

AI training platforms change fast. Projects end without warning, rates get cut, and payment can run late. Workers usually notice weeks before anything official is said, so a quick look here can save you an application.

Is a platform with problem reports a scam?

Usually not. Every large platform has late payments and failed assessments at some point. What matters is the pattern: how often, how many people, and whether it gets resolved. Read the threads and compare with the platform's own page here.

Check a platform before you apply

Each platform page lists pay, payout method, which countries it hires from, and what workers say goes wrong.
