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.

I don't know how hard it will be to get one-three representatives from each forum to work together. I've been in a few organizations. The hardest thing is getting everyone on board and pushing towards a common goal. However, it is for the GOAL of the PEOPLE and NOT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL.

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.

This is not a big of an issue (some may think) as voting for equal rights, being recognized as a person, etc. However, you can't please EVERYONE. You do the BEST YOU CAN. It doesn't seem fair to complain about SHITTY pay when ONE doesn't do anything to push away from it. Boycotting is EFFECTIVE. Working together is the KEY here. If the Black Panthers, UFW, Brown Berets didn't do anything for their people, then things wouldn't be different. However, EVERYONE has their own PRIORITIES. I hope that you didn't take this statement as an attack. This statement is to show you that sometimes WORKING TOGETHER can make a difference.


ex. I attended a school that was the only CAL STATE in California to take 4 more GE classes than any other. Tell me why over 30 student organizations spent their VALUABLE time and worked together. We are talking about meetings that took place from 7:00AM to other meetings taking around 7:30PM. The common GOAL of the organizations was to reduce/eliminate the taking of extra GE classes (and present the idea to the University Board.) When the University, Student Representatives, University President voted, they determined to reduce it to 1-2 GE classes. I was graduating. Their was no need for me to to participate. I did participate because, my actions would change the future and help future students graduate early by not taking those 4 GE classes.

Well that sucks! Yesterday was the first time i really tried them, i just assumed they werent worth it and didn't realize a script would help bc i thought they'd all be to different. I guess i was lucky to miss server issues?

I am having them with picsfromabove, I wish I could figure it out because otherwise I'm not boycotting intentionally.

 

[T. Leela]

so i guess i finally caught some pinterests in time for them to be broken? nice.

maybe it's intermittent, or it was because not a lot of people where doing them due to aforementioned server issues.

I think the effort that this would involve - well, it would be hard. And the outcome - well, there are thousands of us hungry folks out there (swarming on dubious HITS).

But - I still support it. I think anything that can be done to unite folks and, perhaps - strongly 'not recommending' a particular HIT (Based on poor pay) - is a good thing. Many people would follow along with the recommendation (TO does this, to some small extent). Those that do the HIT anyway, well, that's not quite the point. It's more that requesters know that there is a cohesive group on mturk that DO watch and track (and recommend) based on pay.

I would think to start this convo you'd have to find a way to start a conversation between boards (and with folks on TO).
I'd join in

There isn't.
But when there is a batch you can sometimes do it all freaking day because no one else is on.

Some of my best days have been on the weekend.

12% of my "good" days have come on weekends, which are 29% of the week.

TLDR they suck.

One way to bring the community together would be to give at least $5, once, at any point, to a forum specifically created for the purpose of bringing together and fostering the community. It's harder than saying stuff, I guess, but actually accomplishes something tangible immediately.
