The problem is Amazon doesn't care about you the worker, in that example they got paid, the researcher got their data and you are 100% replaceable with any homeless person who has wi-fi.

Section 3 subsection F even states: Disputes between Requesters and Providers. Your use of the Site is at your own risk. Because Amazon Mechanical Turk is not involved in the actual transaction between Providers and Requesters, Amazon Mechanical Turk will not be involved in resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of the Services or any transaction. aka go fuck yourself, its shady and it sucks.

The best we have is Turkopticon and that isn't going to change because Amazon wants nothing to do with helping its workers.
Well said. Yeah thats what I was thinking when i was just reading that like "basically go fuck myself amirite?"

Look easy at first, but they are all foreign language and require quite a bit of research for 5 cents.

well in that case:
"Ethan Davidoff Add SIC and NAICS codes to a list of 5,672 companies $175.00 Rejected
You didn't submit any results"
and here is the other one that wont even respond to me after i sent pictures proving i did show up ontime and completed his hit:
"UR HCI $10-$20.00 to Play an Online Communication Game with Firefox Friday 1:00pm EST for a Research Study $10.00 Rejected
You did not show up at friday 1pm, 23rd December, 2016"
Watch out guys these requesters are definitely shady, i mean you cant really deny pictures that prove i did it so im guessing thats why they wont even respond to me. See mturk should have a way you can dispute something like that where you have pictures or something that could without a doubt prove you competed it and were still rejected.
Oh boy.. I hope you get this resolved. can't imagine the amount of time and effort you must've spent on this.
