Did you do the 3 profile tasks?
Oh, yes I did. Sorry, when you said "phone survey" my mind automatically thought of like a survey where you call someone or something and you actually got paid for taking it lol

explain it to me like im 5. does that new premium thing really screw us or what?
Yes and no. On one hand we will lose out on pre-screener surveys. On the other hand, we won't have to worry as much about being screened out

I don't disagree w/ the concept, but this is an offensive way of doing it. If they're charging for this info, why are we supposed to supply it for free? And it counts against the HIT limit, potentially keeping people from doing paid HITs.

.50 per task... and workers were paid $0.00 to submit those premium qualification tasks.
Come on, it took like 3 secs each. If it keeps us from getting one rejection or saves time by not having to do a shitty qual test then we are making money.

Better idea not to do them, they are profiting with the new fee and not paying for the demo info. The requesters will see the group is small and not use the option. Demo info is very valuable look at google and facebook, their currency is personal information.
