re: requester str11223344 -
After 2 years turking (of 5 years time), I wrote the requester, shared my decent Mturk stats, and they qualified me for their work. I tried for a year or two, couldn't get their work, to be decent, even minimum wage hourly.
Last few weeks, I've found more success:
Most of their HITs tend to be <10 cents. SOMETIMES they post more rare, big batches of 35-40 cent HITs. I've caught that weekly, recently. When you catch those batches? $10+/hour usually. The rest? Are not tenable.
So... while I've posted here that str11223344 were not workable in the past - I amend that assertion, and offer = the rarer 40 cent, 100+ HIT batches - they are definitely workable. Sifting is important, and after a day or two, just the stragglers / impossible items are left to work. In case you want to dust off that qual. FYI.
