Is anyone still using this? I have received an e-mail from them and noticed I cannot join studies anymore. Not sure what is this about.

Dear participant,
You may have been unable to access studies due to recent changes in our security processes. We carry out various types of automated checks on accounts to improve data quality. These include assessing responses to surveys and questions, checking the trustworthiness of ISPs, reports from researchers, as well as other factors.
Please consider updating any inconsistent questions or removing any VPNs, proxies, or browser extensions that you are using. Also try to take part on a different internet connection.
If you continue to experience these errors I'm afraid it means you may not be able to participate in further studies on Prolific because your account has failed one or more of these checks. We are unable to disclose further information about these checks.
However, you will still be able to withdraw any rewards earned from your account as normal.
