Nothing to see here. Stupid idea.

uhhh @Kadauchi

Just have the dashboard script change the approval number displayed. That shit doesn't matter at all.

Wouldn't it just be better to pay some Indian workers like 5 cents an hour and have them do thousands of HITs for yourself? I mean better practically, not morally, I'm assuming you're a psychopath in this scenario.

Damn Pleco you may have discovered the secret to Mturk. I'll have dreams about this tonight. Problem solved sometime in the early AM.

While we're on the topic of workarounds and all that. Are 2 people living in the same household both allowed to have an account? Like, say my husband wanted an account.... I could do Endors on his behalf once I'd hit my cap? Ahem.

you can both have an account. you can't work on each others accounts. certain hits will screen you out via ip or say something aobut not taking it twice in the same household. otherwise you're good.

Sharing accounts is against the TOS.

"The Verizon team even found that "Bob" kept a regular schedule at his office:

9:00 a.m. – Arrive and surf Reddit for a couple of hours. Watch cat videos
11:30 a.m. – Take lunch
1:00 p.m. – Ebay time."

Living the dream.

My husband wouldn't have the patience to get through the first 1000 hits. My son is 18 and wanted to start an account but he said it wouldn't let him because he had never filed a W-2. I didn't check into that though.

Here's a sad little fact about my turking environment. Apparently, I'm lazy and a slob. Just got home and sat down to turk, couldn't find a space for my feet, looked down and realized why.

Gotcha. He doesn't want to sign up anyway. I asked him a little while ago. He doesn't want to be involved with amazon at all after being on the sales side. (definitely holds a grudge.)

Aside from the TOS violating stuff that others mentioned, you'd also be risking a block from Endor if they caught on. Probably not a requester that you would want to be blocked by.

You mean the visual genome train? I know the complete story behind that one. Dude made thousands a week paying Indians $3 an hour to scam genome. I believe that was on Reddit last summer.

 

[heeheehahaha]

On the up side, you could have 1 million approved for the measly sum of somewhere around 3 grand!

Who in the world

1. Knows about mturk
2. Has $3000 to throw away

and would then do it just for numbers?

I think razor tried that and got his account suspended, but I could be totally wrong.

No. OK. I was just spitballing. I'm doing ok on my own. I just really miss doing those endors now.

Given that Google seems to share information around, definitely not. You'd start with Endor and potentially end up blocked by 20 something individual accounts.

Oh I had no idea, I meant more like in India there's people doing just awful, horrible work for little pay just to make ends meet.

In due time and the need for money you will hit a million approved. You have to figure the reason more people don't is the average worker seems to only stick around for a few months.

This kinda makes me wonder how many people with 1 million plus approved have made hits for themselves.

I think he used to be behind the Sergey account when he worked for Google is what you mean

edit: then again I don't really know and this is just what I remember hearing
