We would hate it but amazon could sell a few ads.

What is wrong with you, they read this place, dont' give them ideas.

better than have a group of people in a room, they can't give them nasty comments then deny a .50 cent payment. They couldn't even get a person to give information for 50 cents irl

No, and that's why MTurk's so, so much cheaper than in person studies, even with the requester fees they charge. Even if they paid MTurk workers federal minimum wage (about $1.20 for a 10 minute survey), getting a human willing to come into an office for a 10 minute survey is going to have to pay them a lot more than $1.20.

It would be betterthan what others are talking about. making is pay will destroy this site unless that is what they have in mind. You pay your people. you don't make them pay to work for you and companies that try that are called scammers.

I think only one person suggested that having workers pay would be a good idea, and numerous people disagreed with that.

I would love a nice Pinterest batch right now

If I didn't have masters I'd totally pay a monthly fee to get rid of captchas, or an inventory queue increase. But then mTurk would become pay2win and I'd probably stop playing.

Take that for an idea mTurk.

Yeah about 25 $2 ones would be nice

If they introduced Mturker's paying to turk, Amazon would then have to create a larger team/infrastructure to manage 'us'. As someone mentioned earlier, it would force Amazon to have to actually service us (if we had issues with requesters, blocks, rejections, grievances, etc).

Right now it's win-win for Amazon, they can be really hands off with us as the money from Requester fees rolls in.

I already said that before.

That or name your own price for any qual you want. Of course would be up to the requester whether or not they'll accept your offer and no guarantee they'll stick around long enough to recoup it (no refunds)

 

[Vanyanka]

It's just not the same

My thoughts exactly.

 

[catnapped]

My thoughts exactly.

I tried

 

[vickiJ]

We need some hits, so we can stop thinking about stuff that's never gonna happen.

 

[lsutiger25]

And now...I've officially hit double digit rejections- they don't sting like the use to

 

[Jaded]

Well, my break was over and y'all were not pleasant like I expected.

Go on about your business.

/me storms out.

[Nytmair]

Hi friends. Whats new?

 

[Vanyanka]

I tried

It's okay. It's just like how my extreme narcissism and vanity are endearing, but when other people show those qualities, it's kind of gross.
