The survey was completed too quickly. The worker did not take adequate time to read the technical details in the survey.

Hi Michele, for some reason all of your exports are coming up blank for me. It always says:

{"message":"There are no more of these HITs available."}

and all the others' exports work. ?

Sorry, I didn't see this til Lisa replied. Hopefully what she says will work. I don't know. I'm not doing anything different except sometimes posting from Hitscraper as well as the usual Hit Finder hits.

HIT looks super easy but the instructions are throwing up all the red flags:

English Premier League Prediction Task (academic research):

• This task requires a minimum degree of expertise in football/soccer (e.g. football fan).
• Predict the next match results for Saturday 22 and Sunday 23rd of September (https://www.premierleague.com/fixtures)
• Only HiTs that are correct for more than 50% of the fixtures will be considered of good quality.
• Submissions will be penalized for overconfidence (e.g. if a result is false with a high degree of confidence, the question will be penalized by the degree of confidence). For example a false result with 70% degree of confidence will loose 70 points.
• Submissions will be reward for confidence (e.g. if a result is true with a high degree of confidence, the question will be rewarded with more points ). For example a correct result with 70% degree of confidence will be reward with 70 points.
• Only quality submissions will be rewarded.

I wrote the IBMP Lab at Mount Sinai "Complete a survey on smoking" people, saying:"

Hello:

My MTurk ID is [redacted] and I submitted the above HIT awhile ago.

That survey was *grossly* underpaid. I gave the survey the attention it deserved and wound up making $2.59 p/hr., **slave** wages. It *should* have paid at least $2,00, if not $2.50. I doubt this note will alter your future behavior as a requester but wanted to give it a shot. We Turkers do not spend all day working on HITs as a hobby. We Turk because the added income is critical to our financial lives and the support of our families.

Hi Christopher,
Just wanted to let you know that after discussing it with my PI, we're raising the compensation for the survey to $2. We're giving a $1 bonus to people who already did the survey for the $1 rate. You'll receive one at some point in the next day or so.

Best,

Reward outweighs the risk.

 

[TSolo315]

Reward outweighs the risk.

The HIT is broken too, lol. Unfills bubbles, realized right before I was about to submit.

Reward outweighs the risk.
