Comment on Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
SynonymousStoat@lemmy.world 3 days agoI’ve been part of a class action suite that netted me several hundred dollars, but it was a rarity, most others I’ve participated in ended up with me receiving between $1-20.

There are websites where you can sign up for class actions (a lot of them require no proof) and they make like a hundred or hundreds each year.
I would lose the checks before I cashed them probably.

Most of the ones I’ve been a part of I’ve had to provide information that proves that I was negatively affected, but there have been a couple that I didn’t have to do that. Generally I think the ones where you have to provide proof lean towards being higher in the amount of money you get, but that’s only my personal experience.

Very true, the websites are usually pretty good about detailing what level of information is needed.
The no proof ones are usually like 5-$25, but if adds up. I just point it out because most people don’t realize that there is always a couple class actions that they can add their name to for payouts.
