Mindrift pay over time
Mindrift's median advertised rate is $37/hr as of 2026-08-26, from 11 distinct advertised rates. Its earlier medians date from before 2026-08-26, the first full day on the current basis, so no change is measured across the 2026-08-25 basis change.
Collecting since 2026-08-19: 8 observations so far. A series needs at least 14 observations across 14 days before we call it a trend. No line is drawn through fewer points than that would honestly support.

How to read this
- Snapshot: our own same-day reading of the platform's live feed.
- Reconstructed: rebuilt from our job-level ingestion records (first-seen, closed and rate-change logs) for the day before snapshots began. Rates are as our parser observed them that day; a rate it had not yet read contributes nothing.
- Archive: observed in a dated Internet Archive capture of the platform's own public listings page, parsed with the same rules as live data. The date shown is the capture date.
- ▲ 2026-08-21: Parser improvement: rates in listing descriptions became readable (all rate-change events logged that day are extraction artifacts, not market moves).
- ▲ 2026-08-25: Basis change: statistics moved from midpoints of ranges (ceilings excluded) to the top of every advertised band, ceilings included. Level shifts across this date are the basis change, not market moves.
- Same rules as everywhere on the site: hourly only, one vote per distinct platform+rate band, percentiles of the top of each band (midpoints with ceilings excluded before 2026-08-25), no median below 5 distinct rates, per-task pay excluded. No point is interpolated; we never draw a line where nothing was observed.
