It's nothing you did, it's in reference to the fact that what he's asking breaks amazon/yelp TOS and @electrolyte recently dealt with this http://www.mturkcrowd.com/threads/t...out-blatant-yelp-scam-on-mechanical-turk.322/

You think this is bad? I heard there's a company on MTurk that gives out random golden tickets and then sells the work of these people for a higher fee with the lie that somehow these workers give better work. Now that's a scam.

Caught that $5 hit for mothers of kids 3 or younger. 24 mins for $5 ain't too bad.

 

[VGB]

yeah this for me too

That's a separate batch, use the PANDA from the post

 

[VGB]

Yelp is full of lies.

As someone who worked at a local business, can confirm that Yelp is a horrible, shitty company/website

I never rely on reviews for things like food because people are terrible and overly dramatic 99% of the time.

The best way to know if you like a places food is to actually try their food.

They'll filter reviews at their whim if you don't pay up, too. Mostly the good ones tend to "disappear". They also cold call and harass you, it's shady as fuck.

I like the negative reviews, I think they can be helpful (more helpful than the positive ones, anyway).
