I wound up emailing the requester to ask if the time estimate was a typo, and got this response (emphasis mine):



I...uh...

Where does it say $1/hour is the MTurk standard? I am goin to go burn something to the ground. Maybe servers

Jesus christ, no wonder we end up with such shitty pay if this is the kind of thing requesters believe, or think is acceptable.

I would love to se any of the requestors be willing to work for less than minimum wage an hour

20 minutes exactly as stated on Brainstorming process survey

 

[C to the J]

I'm not sure if it's more messed up that a requester thinks that is acceptable or the fact that someone will eventually end up completing it just because it is a $125 HIT.

I message a requester at one time saying something like that. They never responded.

Anyway to get the banner off of the Roc hits? I feel that it'll make them a little faster if I could.

I didn't have anything else going on that month and I didn't have to wear pants. 11/5

I would almost expect a block if I did that.

WTF Giphy?

WTF Giphy?

Maybe he is really spiderman and his hands got stuck to the helmet?

 

[Metallica]

It's depressing to see some of these no TO reqs get a perfect 5/5 score. 10 minutes for $1.50 isn't 5/5 material.

Well.. I wasn't rude about it. I just said hey "minimum wage is this much, some people make a living off of this site, I'm guessing you wouldn't work for that amount of money" something along those lines. It was awhile ago. I think some people are just completely out of touch with the worker experience.

Time to take the dog for a walk and see if I can stop seeing bubbles when I close my eyes.

True. And then, they pay you 1-3 dollars an hour and expect professional work that is exceptional or they reject it.

Anyway, I have been deep in the woods since Saturday. Anything insane happen I should know about?
