Now, I'm assuming that if you are a client, they are okay. I can't be sure, because they clearly allow just about anyone to rate the jobs, so who knows, they probably sometimes give 5 ratings at random even if the work is awful, but I wouldn't know.

I spent a week there, it's not uncommon for they to pay you a fifth part of what they are charging the client, for literally doing all the job, they are not taking a commission out of your hard work, they are giving you a commission out of your hard work, and you know it, they are not making you work at gunpoint. That still doesn't make it okay.

I don't think they deserve the work of the workers who are actually trying to do a good job, and I condone anyone who's doing a mediocre job. But, the way I see it, if I'm going to spend my time doing a job, I might as well do the best job I can, even if it's an unfair place, so that's what I did. The highest rate there is 5, if your average goes below 4.5 they delete your account, there's nothing wrong with that, but their so called standards are no standards at all. As I said, they let just about anyone rate you, they don't rate you themselves, that's a akin to the teacher making your dumb classmates rate you and then not making sure, not caring in the slightest, about you getting a fair review or not.

They should at least let the client rate you, that would make sense. I know for sure that I did a great job, that they handed my good job to the client, that they made good money out of me, and yet, dumb people were rating me at random. Sometimes I would get a 5 for a job that was good and did deserve the 5 but, because of how hard it was, it wasn't as a good as something else, yet that something else would get a 3 for absolutely no reason, the people rating it would just make up the most stupid excuses, my guess is that they don't want anyone else taking the good audio files from them so they just try to get your account deleted, and since it's random, if you are lucky you can probably stay there for years, above 4.5 as long as the 3 loving people don't find you too often. The guys that rate you love giving you 3s at random.

So called standards, because in order to have standards you need to actually pay people what they deserve, and to make sure that the people rating the workers are competent at rating, it's that simple. And OK, you stay because you need the job, and they do you a favor by closing your account for no reason, because you can't stay even if you wanted to, you are now free from their dehumanizing behavior and from making the owner richer for literally doing all the job yourself, BUT what is not okay at all, is that I spent all night working on something, because as I said, I was doing a great job, so I would spend about six hours on a single task, I always finished it on time, they paid me for it, but then, three hours later they deleted my account and decided that for some reason it made total sense to STEAL the money they had just paid me.

That's my problem, that's what my title's about. So, I hope the poor owner one day finally has enough money to afford his groceries, if he needs to steal from his already underpaid workers.
And no, they didn't steal my money because it was a bad job, it had been unfairly rated as a 4 out of 5, but that never stopped them from paying me in the past, it was solely because for some crazy reason they believe is perfectly okay to steal your money, on top keeping all the money you are producing by doing all the job. Apparently not enough, they have to steal too. Because my time isn't worth a thing, right? Because I had nothing better to do with my night than work for them for free, so they could get paid by the client for my hard work anyway, right? One of the most shameless business I've ever seen, I would never hire their services knowing what's going on there. I don't even know how their business has been legal for years.

And I'm not entirely sure, but watch out for Trustpilot, Rev has a 4.6 there, and when I tried to leave this review, the confirmation code to post it would magically never arrive to my email no matter how many codes I kept asking, there was no way to leave my one star review, maybe that's the reason they are rated that high with them, just allow a handful of bad reviews so you don't seem that fishy, but stop most of them. Rev certainly has the money to pay for that kind of questionable service with all the money it steals from their workers.
