lol, you script, don't you? I should probably have listened to all those who told me to learn, back in the day. I ignored them, and now I'm in school and have neither the time nor the free brain space to learn at the moment. So I need to emphasize work that pays fairly *without* requiring me to know how to do stuff I don't know how to do, which is also not the case for everyone.
I have to admit, though, I still feel justified in being upset when work that did pay fairly no longer does. You're welcome to disagree
If it helps,
installing and using scripts is generally really simple, it's
making new ones yourself or editing existing ones that takes time. Once you install tampermonkey or some other script plugin, installing these is just a matter of clicking the link where it's hosted, or copy/pasting the code into a new script if someone just posted code.
A couple big things that help me a lot:
The MTurk Multibind LLL Fork allows you to answer nearly any multiple-choice HITs with your number keys. This one differs from the Kadauchi's MTurk Radio Keybinds script in that it works for HITs with multiple questions, having options to move on to the next automatically, and being able to do it manually with tab. This one script alone probably helps more than anything else besides MTurkSuite; not having to slowly click bubbles speeds things up a LOT.

MTurk Hourly displays your $/hr on your dashboard, total and per requester. This is helpful for quickly figuring out that a batch that you're on the bench about is garbage, or comparing two batches when they're up.

Turkerview isn't as essential as those two, but it provides an extra source of easily visible reviews, a $/hr for your current HIT at the top of the tab, and an easy review link on every HIT.

And Turkmaster probably has some better replacement I haven't heard of (IF ANYONE READING THIS KNOWS, PLEASE TELL ME, it has this frustrating problem where I have to pause it's searches in order for mturk links to work right), but it lets you set an alert for HITs that match different search results; good for knowing right when a requester you like posts.

There are obviously also plenty of individual scripts for individual batches, they don't help as much as the multibind usually, so you don't need to worry too much about missing them, but if one is easy to do or there's an existing one, there is a good chance someone will post about it here.
Obviously it'd be great if we didn't need these to get a good wage and they were more of an above and beyond thing, and I'd be willing to join in some organized thing to help with that, but in the meantime, this should help with the rent/bills a bit.
--edit: Also, bye, have a nice night.
@turkinlight These would probably help you, too, then. At least the first two.
I need to shut the hell up now and go write my (horrendous, awful, terrible, pointless) history of rock final paper, but I'm glad we all could have a brief discussion about a touchy subject without anyone getting mean.
