payment thresholds Mar 14, 2023

The old "dribs-and-drabs" treatment. And what if you never hear from them after completing $50 worth? I would drop them.

Inflation problem Mar 14, 2023

There is an inflation problem as well. If you have 1 year to reach, say, the 200 USD threshold (small tasks), you will actually get ~190 USD because of the unflation.

At the same time the agency will deposit your 200 USD to earn some money. You lose, they gain.
