Has mturk ever not been dying?
You aren't kidding about that. People are always on that chicken little shit when it comes to money making online. I will say my cell phone farm died a pretty sudden and absolute death.

One HIT at a time? I'm not getting it. I'm trying to catch 3-6 HITs at a time there.
Uh... Are you running 3-6 Watchers at a time on HIT Catcher?

It doesn't seem to let me add more than one is what I'm saying and you have to repress the catch button to get another one after it picks up the first one. From what I can tell so far.

If you hit the cog to go into settings, there's a button that says "once" with a check mark. Have you unchecked that sucker? Sorry if this is dumb or not relevant...

/r/beermoney was more helpful to me for mturk than the actual mturk subreddit
That's were I started beer money reddit. I learned phone farms and Swagbucks first. Both kind of dead now compared to what they once were though.

I... don't know what's going on with your Catcher. All I can tell you is it lets me add as many as I want. That is it's default so dig around the settings. It's not supposed to do that.

Too many people don't understand what a PandA is these days. They started with scripts and as long as it catches HITs for them they're happy, they don't care how it works. I kind of want to see support for all the main scripts stop just to watch the ensuing chaos. :devil:

That's cool. It's in my queue now. Long timer, I love that. I should just go ahead and do it. I'm not getting much today but I am dicking around on here. I made $100 Monday and Tuesday. I'm happy about that. Monday was a $60 day for me. Almost record day, but not quite.

My patience was forged through tabs of Check4Change and managing individual refresh rates to avoid PREs. Kids these days have it easy :LOL:

That would be a rough couple of days for the Mods/Mentors/OG Turkers.

Something I've noticed from Reddit threads is, if a new MTurker doesn't figure out how to use MTS or PC pretty quickly they get frustrated and give up on MTurk.
By design, if you frustrate the new competition they'll fade away. it isn't in their interest to encourage someone to do well. I on the other hand think there is a happier medium. I don't want to spoonfeed you every juicy morsel I pluck out for myself, but it does me no good to allow someone to perform hits in a shit manner or encourage bad habits. It is in my interest to see that others do well, perform well, and create happy requesters.

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus
The value of your bonus is: $1.00 USD

The Requester included this note:
Hi there! I wanted to say thanks for doing my HITs yesterday ("Ask and answer questions about an image"). I was impressed by your work overall and wanted to give you bonus as thanks, particularly because the instructions were long and complicated. I hope to post more similar HITs soon and will try to streamline the format + make instructions clearer. Thanks again

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!
I'm genuinely flattered, which is kinda sad

I was feeling the exact same thing yesterday. I don't feel enough people have any Turk101 under their belt. So many people were referring to PC as just panda that I couldn't figure out what was going on and had to go HITS Only. (For anyone who doesn't but should know, PandA is short for preview and accept, and is the basis for any "hitgrabber" and can be done without a script or an extension) People are diving in the deep end because they see everyone else there and wondering why they are having trouble swimming.
