I would question the data if they're only taking 15 seconds to rate that many sentences. You also have to consider the time it takes to load each new task.

15 seconds is my average time and I have 99% confidence in every hit. It's a pretty simple task.

Same here and that is just more for me!

*shrug* if that's what you want...

I just realised these are your hits, um, please don't go to .03? lol I just tried a few, and thought they were great, but used
a sort of generic ahk script to be able to enter the answers with the numberpad that sped it up for me. I wondered if you have any issue with this,
and would mind if I post it here? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. To be honest I'm not sure I understand why they are underpaid since it's an exceptionally simple task, and so far the average time to complete is 15 seconds each (or, $12/hour).

For quality work, as some of the sentences/sentiments take a bit longer to read and comprehend ... I think the $$ per/hr may be a bit off.

My avg for the 4 HITs was $7.58/hr (and I'm not a slow reader).

I definitely want to thank you for coming to the forum to post, C @Cliff DesPeaux It's always nice when we can have a working relationship with a Requester. The vast majority of active posters here take pride in providing quality work and in turn are a little more judicious with the HITs they are willing to spend the time working on in relation to the compensation provided.

Overall, it seems like a great HIT, but quality does require a few more pennies sometimes ... think of it as buying a dish set at the Dollar Store versus going to Bed, Beyond, & Beyond. I would just hate to see you get scammed.

I averaged $7.50/hour. I'm not saying it can't be done, but if the average is 15 seconds, that means someone is going faster and I would definitely question that. YMMV though for sure.

I think they are a bit overpaid tbh.

I'm not touching them unless they go down to .03.

Quit that.

I realized this morning that the left over coffee could be used for ice coffee and that has really made my day better since before I had to wait for someone to drink nasty reheated coffee.

I'm having a better day than yesterday.

i agree, i don't feel i could accurately read and rate 5 sentences in 15 seconds, and then they aren't worth 5 cents. tbh i don't work on 5c HITs that have more than 2 clicks, thanks OCMP5.

It probably depends on the person, these are my fav. type of hit, but also I'm very sure you make a much better hourly in general than i do.
Actually I really am not sure what my point is

Regarding the Mechanical Turk Media HITS. I agree that they are simple and straight-forward. You get some that are only a few words and are quick to answer. Overall, though, I don't see how $12/hr is the "average" unless people are basically skimming/answering without thinking. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the HITs and would like forward to doing them in the future.
