Yes, stop using Turkmaster. Really, it's kind of not good.

Serious question: and use what?

(mutter mutter I meant to start getting ready for worker.mturk at the start of the month but I didn't mutter mutter all this change mutter mutter for why? mutter mutter darn kids get off my lawn)

 

[YAHU]

According to the announcement from Appen, it says:
"Earlier today, Appen announced a deal to acquire Leapforce."

So, no near-term impact. Maybe this will improve Appen?

According to the announcement from Appen, it says:

"Earlier today, Appen announced a deal to acquire Leapforce. This is an exciting development in the work-from-home market. By joining forces with Leapforce, we envision even more opportunities for our contractors in the future.

As a valued member of our contractor community, we wanted to let you know that there will be no near-term impact from this announcement to your current project in terms of processes, tools and pay rates. Over time as our organizations become integrated, our goal will be to provide you with an improved work-from-home experience as we adopt the best practices from each company"

So, no near-term impact. Maybe this will improve Appen?

Still won't work for either.

Bad experiences with both platforms in general.

Hit $20 on Prolific! Time to try out Circle. How long does it usually take for you guys? @themildone @Cara

HIT Finder Beta, but yeah.

 

[micky]

This cracked me up.

I don't think Appen can get any worse, so I thought maybe...

 

[Theta Carinae]

hitfinder

I thought hitfinder was like scraper? I want to search for specific requesters, not just scrape everything. I have plenty to do, I need to know when it shows up

(er, if it helps, turking skill level = moderate...I've kind of gotten lazy at keeping up with scripts since I've had the same few requesters to work for...TIA for suggestions)

I used to have an account on microworkers. they didn't send me my last check. I emailed over and over with their support ticket system. they eventually started ignoring my emails. then I googled and found a bunch of other people weren't paid. never worked for microworkers again.

my first Circle payout took 3 days to hit my account, and then instant from that to my bank

Of course it's no fun. This is Mturk.
You want fun. You go to Times Square on New Year's Eve or take a Caribbean cruise.ompus:

As a new yorker, I have to say that times square on new years eve is not fun. It is WAAAAY too crowded and you wont even be able to see the ball drop unless you go 7 hours to wait

Yes, stop using Turkmaster. Really, it's kind of not good.

HIT Finder Beta, but yeah.

hitfinder doesnt give you notifications if youre on another tab aside from the beep, does it?

ah ok. I like appen, they just never give me work. leapforce seemed like slave wages to me.

 

[DankoRamone]

You have to switch to tampermonkey or violent monkey. Greasemonkey no longer works with the Firefox 57 update.

Do you know if that will load my current pandas, watchers, etc., or will I need to restart them from scratch?

Ok cool! Thanks! I don't have an immediate need for the money atm so 3 days isnt bad.

I'm willing to do that. Which alternatives will do the same stuff, as well? I'm not familiar with them at all.
