❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Updates
How do I approve or disapprove an answer that’s partially correct? If the answer is relevant and makes sense, you should generally approve it. Human input isn’t always 100% accurate, so partial correctness is okay as long as it’s on the right track.
How do we define an influencer for the Twitter influencer account collection task? What are the criteria? We don’t have a strict definition of an influencer—it’s pretty subjective! The main criteria is that the user must have a social media account and actively post content. Beyond that, it’s up to your judgment.
