Anyone else get a private message from a french journalist wanting to know about mturk habits?

I suspect we'll be seeing more of this from now on due to AB-5. I know some people have already lost jobs on sites like Appen over that bill.


Change my state qual, Amazon. I haven't lived in CA since like 2016.

“Are you thick?”

yes
no

 

[HelloHello]

@rsmath I believe you were correct, they did not ship the card, the story on the phone though was that "returned - customer changed mind".

Nope.

Mturk habits:
Stare at screen
Maintain false hope
Return hits
Look at earnings
Cry

I hope they do. "I've been eating tree bark since they raised the price of instant ramen from 8 to 9 cents a pack if that answers your question".

Bought Christmas presents on October 25th and they still aren't all wrapped yet. Guess I'll do that since it looks like a less than $30 day for me.

The spread price is always changing, based on the currency costs. It usually is between 1.2-1.4
It's better than most institution's conversion fees , so I would say no, you are not ripped off.



Regardless, there's not another way to get your money from them in the USA, so it's a moot point.

You could theoretically wait for a time when the GBP was strong against the dollar, to get maybe 5% more.

With the relatively low amount of Prolific tests, you're better working a minimum wage job for an hour, than watching Forex to make $0.20 more on your conversion.

Kinda not what i was talking about.. seems paypal is fraudulently converting to make more money. Saying the convesion rate is one thing when it is actually higher.
