yup.

Pretty obvious they're trying to see how low they can get the pay before people stop working on them.

Shame. Their pay is already low for the amount of work they want you to do and they just keep continue to lower it. Oh well.

As soon as I find $18 batches, I'll stop hamming for $7.50. Right now only $7.50 sounds *especially* good...

Which brings us back to why they shouldn't be getting done in the first place.

Boycott them until they raise the pay back up.

Because they pay $4/hour.

I appreciate anyone that took the time to read this. I wish everyone a Great Day. Please, try your best to combat the SHITTY pay rate on Mturk. Boycotting is effective if we work together.

I will leave you with a Quote my music professor would end class with "No Man/Woman is an island."

You've busted your ass so far this week.
Just chill today and recharge your batteries for the rest of the week.

At least that's what I'm doing.

I was not offended at all by what Squatty said. However, I didn't realize the pay was so low. It's hard to be united as a unified force when everyone is separated by different forums.

That is why we have TO. The pay score for that requester has been slowly going down. It was at a 4 (I think) and now it is at a 2.4

The pay is shitty, but I doubt a boycott would work given the vastly different types of people that turk and the number of people turking. Some people might even prefer it this way since it means people are doing shitty hits and leaving the good stuff alone.

you're right. it honestly feels like it should be the end of the week since i treated this past weekend like week days

There's also a possible false dichotomy between them paying $4 an hour and paying $12 an hour with the only difference being that they're mean. It's a question of how much it's worth to them, which limits what they can pay. Digging through the images probably doesn't provide them much value, so they can't pay much for it.

And the new, higher rates mean every requester is paying less (or charging their customers/clients more, which is effectively the same thing in the long run).

Working hard on the weekend is what will drain you.
Gotta take some time off when it's slow like right now so you can keep going.

of Donne or the collar? I have a hard time choosing.

yeah. i don't regret it one bit though. i know i'll still be ready for the rest of the week
but you're right for today. it's a ghost town out there
going to listen to music and relax

 

[jan]

I wonder if that's a jabot? (I don't look really good in lace.............but Donne was pretty cool. I thought I heard somewhere he wanted Donne is done on his tombstone, but I"m not sure the inscription made it to his monument

I didn't realize there was that much work available over the weekend.
