The Most Exploitative and Shady Platform Ever – Stay Away!
I’ve wasted hundreds of hours and hard-earned money on this trash site. SproutGig (formerly PicoWorker) is nothing but a scam in disguise. They exploit desperate workers, especially from poor countries, by paying cents for hours of work. That’s not freelancing, that’s modern slavery! The platform is filled with bugs, task rejection for no reason, unfair suspensions, and worst of all — they track your activity across devices like spyware. Yes, they literally spy on you and share tracking data across laptops. you're flagged without warning. They ask for KYC, your ID card, and sensitive info, but who knows where it ends up? I wouldn’t be surprised if they sell user data to shady third parties. I had to buy USB internets, waste electricity, sit 12 hours a day — only to make $2 or get suspended again and again. This is psychological abuse, not freelancing. Their so-called "support" is a joke. No help, no appeals — just a “your account is suspended” message and you’re done. If you're thinking about joining SproutGig, do yourself a favor and run in the opposite direction. This site is a parasite feeding on people's poverty and desperation. I regret every minute I gave to this platform. I should’ve invested my time in something real. 0/5 stars. Should be banned. Burn this site to the ground.
