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.
- 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.
