I'm almost positive you're a person so I agree!

I mean, for all you know, all these utterance paraphrases are for *me*.

 

[Starslip]

there is a screener hit

Yeah, I know, I'm saying they could have assigned a qual to people passing the screener so those who didn't don't see it on their scraper. They're going to have a ton of people who aren't qual'd picking it up and throwing it back for the next 3 days

You can accurately track how much work there is on Mturk by the level of depression in the forum.

I guess today is a bad day.

Well remesh just spent at least $700 to learn absolutely nothing.

 

[GTR]

Noooooo. I MTurked for a while when I was figuring out how to be a requester and I subsidized my amazon instant video habit through mostly surveys. It was awful. I tried MTurking again for fun like last month or something, but there wasn't even anything up that was worth completing since they were all so vaguely worded and badly paid.

plus the fact that you have to be a little off to be a turker, and mentally insane to want to do it if you don't need to...

That was seriously terrible. My first and last one. What a bunch of dickhead people.

What was the topic? The answers are almost always low quality, but not usually antagonistic.

What sort of disturbing? What some folks consider disturbing I consider wholesome quality popcorn worthy entertainment.

I'm probably returning it - it's a four day thing, must be done about the same time every day.
I'm usually not onine/home until about 5 hours from now - today I took off from my job
I'd like to do it, but I don't know if 9PM is too late to count -- awaiting message from requester

I might have to resort to finding my own disturbing violent videos instead of having them provided for me


from the hit preview:

If you qualify to participate (click on the link below to begin the unpaid qualification survey), today’s session (Day 1 of the survey study) will take 25-30 minutes; you will watch graphic video clips of car crashes, death, and injury/mutilation, and be asked to track intrusive memories of those clips until tomorrow.



Tomorrow’s session (Day 2) needs to take place approximately 24 hours after today’s session, and will include completing several computer tasks lasting approximately 30 minutes. We will send you an invitation to complete it. You must ensure that you are available to complete Session 2 at approximately the same time of day as you complete Session 1 today.

I have no idea. The moderator was all over the place. Favorite sport, favorite ice cream, "tell me a joke" and then "say anything you want".

 

[Rogue and Ready]

ohgosh I forgot about pens.

Did you know walmart has like 4 aisles of back to school stuff which is mostly just stacks of notebooks and pens. I got way too excited about it.

I didn't buy anything though.

You're so cute

My answer was top for favorite ice cream

I think this was just a stress test or something, but like, an expensive stress test.

Would it be too terrible to imply that is super nerdy?

Like "Teacher, you forgot to assign homework over the long holiday break!" 2 minutes before the end of day bell ring nerdy.

Yeah, it was just so all over the place and weird.
