:shifty:

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

TLDR they suck.
Yea but there are variables there.
You, I assume, aren't actively working on the weekend.
Only doing beast batches when and if they come up.

Wasn't nothin' better than .50 Pinterest on the weekend back towards the start of the year.
$100 by breakfast, just call it a day after that :bode:

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.
I don't think it's an issue of different forums wanting different pay or having different ideas of what good pay is. It's a matter of each member on each forum having hundreds of different opinions of what good pay is. Maybe the 20 or so of us right here right now agree on what it means, but there are tons of other members on this forum and on other forums who are happy to work for 5 or 10 cents a minute because they just do this while watching TV or screwing around in the evening and have no interest or desire to tell requesters to pay more.

Besides that, the best researchers can tell, only 20-30% of turkers even have heard of forums or use them. Even if you got every single forum-using turker to boycott a requester, you'd still have 70-80% of turkers out there to do the HITs.

Thanks. I'm noticing tab randomly stops moving down to the next set of bubbles for some reason.
I am using chrome, not sure if that makes a difference, but when i did one for a9s, realized i needed to switch to firefox, it didn't work correctly anymore, and maybe try clicking somewhere near the top first? I'm pretty new to it, so I'm not sure what else might make a difference.

Just pandaed one each of these, and after I log into Pinterest and then click on the HIT links, get:

Hate returning these...

I do that on every day, though. Which means that such batches don't show up on weekends at a high enough frequency to overlap, which is what usually leads to good days. And this is even with me having cheating horseshit masters nonsense VSR on Saturdays.

This makes no sense to me. "I don't mind being paid crap cause I'm just doing this for lunch money."

One way to bring the community together would be to give $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.

There's one big pool the work gets drawn from and when it runs out the hits are (mostly) useless.

(though they do sometimes get refilled again)

Also I closed the instructions, or at least made sure i clicked below them.
