Why record someone jogging for a HIT when it's obvious that they have never ran before? That was the weirdest form I've ever seen.

What IS this? A PE for ants?

Also, the number of $4 HITs I can't catch today belongs in a world record somewhere

Rejections from Pontus Hilding...great.

I looked in my HIT Tracker and I saw a HIT titled "How well does the generated follow-up question fit the answer?" that pays 6 cents from Pontus Hilding, and then I looked at the status and it says "Returned". lol.

I don't remember doing it either. I think the same thing happened then that happened when I tried it a little while ago. I waited in the lobby area until they told me that nobody wanted to play with me and that I should take my money and leave.

I'm pretty sure I took it last month. Definitely not yesterday.

I'm sure everyone's reason for working on this platform aren't all the same.

I didn't get any partners and it told me to submit, then was able to accept a second HIT right after...can I just keep trying til I actually play? Cause if so, sweet

Edit: And they sent me a 40 cent bonus

I literally would have been paid more if I *hadn't* been on a team?

Well, that doesn't change how I feel about group assignments.

I feel your pain. And even when I DO manage to catch a $4.00 HIT, they screen me, and surprise, I'm not the demographic they're looking for.

Got partners on the second try, 2.57 bonus, I am the master detective!

This is a multiplayer experiment and so you must wait for the other players to join.

$.50 to use my face-hole to make sounds at another human? Not today!

When someone leaves a study near the end, so you only get the base pay and miss out on the bonus -_-

Thanks, Karen.

Since this post was made, Karen's body has started to decay, and has been partially eaten by Karen's cat Fluffy. Feel old yet?

Yeah I get a pang of despair whenever a screening starts. My life is a little odd and I'm almost always screened out.

Me either. I believe I've tried it all. I just hope I don't get a headache from them.

All but 4 were approved, makes zero sense.
