I had heard stories about flica bots and people just sitting on flica all day but I didn't fully beleive it until I saw it myself. At one point I put a specific requirement into alerts and let it bypass my do not disturb during the night. My phone went off just before 4am and I logged in, and the trip was already gone. Another time I experimented on my day off in my office. Kept Flica up on my 2nd monitor and watched open time (this is all pre covid). I'd get an alert but never see anything drop into open time, or sometimes I'd see a new trip in open time and by the time I clicked on it it was already taken.

I've since cancelled flica alerts and don't plan to return. It was more of a headache than anything else for me. If this COVID stuff blows over and we manage to keep our jobs then I'll go back to my old ways of basically fly what I'm awarded.
