No, it's just an optional thing that requesters can choose to pay for. But requesters can accomplish the same thing for free, like they always have, so I doubt anyone will ever use it.

Unless they make it the sneaky default like they did with "Masters" when requesters post their HITs and set up quals.

I think we may have solved the Captcha mystery.

It looks like people who did the Phone Survey are not getting Captchas today.

why didnt they announce this last night when all those a9's were up so i could take it
..i still don't really wanna take them though, there's no mention in those hits about when/if you can ever retake them, i dont wanna say i have an iphone when i might switch to an android later and get stuck

How magical would it be for mTurk to communicated with the workers on how things are changing instead of just the requestors.

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.

It effectively lowers workers pay rates with the fee amazon is using for them.

It's in a drop-down box that has to be selected. For now...

maybe, but the ease of having it right at their fingertips means some easy money when people see it and just decide to save themselves the "trouble" of setting up a test of their own

it is the candy bar at the checkout aisle

They made it all back if they're really not getting captchas because of it.

Well, I never did those tasks and I still have captchas.

This feels like a blog post someone made to make fun of mTurk.

Bottom line is requesters only have a finite budget. Mturk found a way to keep more of it on their side while using our data to do so.

another problem is taking advantage of the new requesters who don't know any better
