Project Title:
Remote Gig Workers Needed for Academic Research Interview (Paid, Flexible, Asynchronous)

Project Description:
Hello,
I am a Master’s student in Sociology conducting academic research on labour mobility and worker power among remote gig workers. This study focuses on how freelancers interact with platform reputation systems (e.g., ratings, reviews), how they move between platforms, and how they perceive their own bargaining power.

This project is strictly for academic purposes (non-commercial), and I am looking for experienced remote freelancers to share their insights through a structured text-based interview.

Estimated Time Commitment:

- Initial responses: ~50 minutes
- Follow-ups: ~40 minutes (flexible timing)

---

Compensation & Benefits:

- Guaranteed 5-star feedback on your freelancer profile
- Fair compensation based on your hourly rate (to be agreed before starting)
