r/DoneDirtCheaphiring posts only

r/DoneDirtCheap is a small-task board in the spirit of r/slavelabour. Posts are tagged [Task] or [Hiring], nearly all state a price, and the price is usually small.

The tasks are virtual assistance, quick design and video edits, app testing and short UGC videos. The name is honest: when a post here got a warning, it was usually because the pay was far below the work.

Of the 27 posts we've read from r/DoneDirtCheap since October 2026, 19 were hiring. The others: 1 question or discussion post and 7 people offering their services without the tag. Posts tagged [For Hire] or [Offer] are skipped before we read anything, so they aren't counted.

The median is over posts that gave a US-dollar price for the whole job. Small samples move a lot, so treat it as a rough guide.

Right now: 18 of the 20 open jobs name an amount, 11 are remote, and 3 carry a scam warning.
