Is there anything that streamlines the c-sats, the whole having to go through the beginning thing every time?
Wait is there a c-sats batch up that isn't the "watch this 10 minute video and rate it specifically and give me points of times at which things happen" ??

But to answer your Q, I don't think so. You just gotta click every time.

I have a question for the whole room... How do you explain to people what it is you do? I have the hardest time with it. I get annoyed when people are like "Oh you take surveys" but also it's so hard to be like "I do a lot of diff things all day and sometimes make okayish money doing it. And don't have to wear pants." b/c people are like "what other kinds of things? Why are you qualified to look at surgery videos? How are you qualified to do X, Y, Z?"

Those look good!

My children were underprivileged--I never once bought Pop-Tarts.
I like the idea of homemade ones. The store bought ones are usually too sweet for my tastes.

Don't feel too bad. It's probably pretty subjective but... Most all of the processed foods just aren't very healthy so I don't think the kiddos were missing out.

I say I mostly do research for graduate students doing their thesis, but also do research/clickwork for bigger companies on a freelance basis...not entirely true maybe but better than 'i do swagbucks' lol

I usually say "stuff that can't be easily automated". If they ask for more then I just give actual examples from HITs I remember. I guess you could explain training HITs if they really question all that though.

I just don't tell anyone about it. I guess it helps that I have another job.

alright, all gone on that c-sats batch. Time for a break.
I only got through about 30 of them. How fast do you do them? I'm at about 25-30 seconds.

I boiled it down to "I am a freelance contract worker for Amazon's website Mechanical Turk." Any further explanation confuses people. I've once showed my mom, for example, the work I do...and she asks incessant questions like you've described. "Why are you doing that?" "how can you do that?" "what made you answer X that way?" "but how is that answer correct?" etc

I've found people either get it or they don't - and most people don't - so it isn't worth my time to explain lol.

I don't feel bad. :) My kids had to suffer through delicious homemade everything! I have never eaten that kind of stuff and I think it shows after 64 years!

Data Entry. That's all they need to know. Simple.

The best people will all say "Stop, sign me up. You had me at "don't have to wear pants."
