I mean, I still got like $8/hr on them while listening to The Adventure Zone, so honestly, if I could just have these back for the rest of the day I would love it.

These used to be $12+ an hour. By doing them (willingly and speedily) for 2/3 the price, you're (collective you, here) telling the requester that it's okay to devalue your work for no actual reason (besides possibly that they want to see if they can get away with it)

But that's as far as I'll get into it - I should know better. Sorry.

An $8 study on making predictions?

Well slap me and call me Miss Cleo! Is there a link somewhere on the thread I should look for so I can start trolling for that?

It's a SurveyComet(Great requester) study. Don't have the PandA but, forum search may get you there.

Is that not the whole movie???

What is your solution to prevent it? $8 an hour that used to be $12 is still better than $4 an hour that used to be $6 an hour.

What is your solution to prevent it? $8 an hour that used to be $12 is still better than $4 an hour that used to be $6 an hour.

It used to be that people would band together to avoid underpriced work. I watched it happen multiple times on the forum I was on that is no more, and while it didn't always change matters - it did happen, as often as not, that when work sat undone for long enough requesters would bump the price back up.

But those days are gone. There isn't anything one person can do about it on their own, and so long as this "anything is better than $0!!!" mindset is king it's probably not going to happen again that turkers band together even in small groups. I know that, I just have a hard time not being sad and mad and disappointed when I see it happen.

Gonna stop there, otherwise I'll get ranty (I also know better than to think anyone wants to read pages of rant on the subject)
