You don't count. You're probably a serial killer :aikon3:

Why, because you all think I killed @Pleco? It turned out he was alive and well.

I'm not sure if this is considered survey content, or if it's been mentioned on the board yet, but I came across this on as survey (I believe on what would be considered the preview page?) and felt that it was important to share. Maybe if enough people take action something can be done to reverse the increase in fees and bring more work/requesters back to Mturk!!!

"As some of you may know, on July 22nd Amazon effectively quadrupled its fees for high-volume requesters. Before that day, Amazon charged 10% of whatever we paid to workers, but now it takes a full 40% of what is paid to workers. While the reasons for this price increase are unclear, its effects are crystal clear: because we are in a time of limited research funding, this will lead to a reduction in either 1) the number of HITs created by academics, 2) the level of pay workers receive, or 3) both of these things. In order to continue running these short studies on MTurk at all, Amazon has forced me to reduce the pay associated with them by a few cents (and I'm still paying more overall than I used to!). If you can, please take a moment to tell Amazon to roll back its fee increase, or at least introduce an academic discount for researchers, since that would only mean more HITs and more money per HIT for the valuable work you do. Thanks!"

That message has been kicking around since around the time the fees increased. Honestly, even if everyone did that, i don't think Amazon would care. There are ways to get around that 40% fee, though, and only pay the normal 20%. It's really not that hard. I wouldn't be surprised if they just leave it on there as an excuse to pay people less.

I think this may have something to do with turkprime's increase in popularity. I did a survey a while ago asking about some service people could use to get around the fee increase and I bet it was turkprime.

That does seem like damning evidence but sometimes people change.
