I emailed MTurk a question a couple of days ago and got a generic response just now but the generic response ended with "It is because of workers like you that make this platform worthwhile!" I... have never seen that line in their template responses before. :eek:

Oh crap, they're trying to give us a hint.

This means they're giving out Masters soon along with a free copy of Half-Life 3.

Mturk honestly reminds me of the 1927 film Metropolis (a fucking masterpiece that should be required viewing in every high school.) Thousands of workers busting their ass in the underground of the city to keep it running for the corporations overhead. They are faceless, thankless, and just happy to not be dead in the streets.

Fantastic movie. Dark Side of the Moon actually syncs perfectly with it.

My 49 rejects are all 5 cents or less... I had 48 awhile ago and one got overturned despite me making no efforts to correct it, and then 2 more came along recently.

My understanding of current mturkcrowd mythology is that she's Lucifer (
) and you're...I dunno, Beelzebub ( :kryssyy::pizza:)?



This response was more on topic when I was going to call you her lieutenant.
I want smileys for all of that list.

edit: I can't words today
