Not on MT. Maybe one or two but from my experience they are few and far between and you spend far more time looking for them than doing them. Either you all are Union Shills or I REALLY wish someone would please show me where that kind of result is possible without writing OCR code and automating hits which get scarfed-up by time you could program a custom routine (I'm a programmer, I've tried) and limited to the amount you can grab. In some counties that is considered a living wage. I've been looking for close to a year now and most of the people I've legitimately communicated with concur $1-1.5 is a typical average on here.

I'm at a lost for words on that one. I found MTC in about 2 minutes. Thanks Google.

Piece of cake. LOL

I thought the instructions were a bit ... ambiguous, and I could not understand the repeated references to "watermelons," but other than that I thought it was a fun HIT.

... Asks teachers, nurses, and care providers everywhere.

Same story, different sector.

Absolutely, as an Associate Architect I was extremely underpaid but I was still making more than minimum wage. MTurk has a special way of undervaluing everyone equally.

Just makes me happy for the few awesome requesters out there.

This is essentially how a recent thread on reddit went. Downvotes for the person who suggested making more than a few bucks was possible.

I was told people can make more than $10 a day on mturk. I have some questions.

How long have you been turking?
How many hours do you turk for?
Do you have masters?

If this is like the fiber one they have up it is a LOT of writing. Basically every question requires a written response.

it all comes down to work ethic. If you want it you can get it.

That shit drives me crazy. There are so few fair requesters out there. I just have a hard time understanding when people pay so little, do they really not value our time that much or are they completely clueless?

Both I imagine. That or they're trying to stretch their budget too far. It only really bothers me when they're intentionally vague or misleading. I don't mind doing stuff for bad pay from time to time, especially if its research for something I'm passionate about, but at least don't fucking lie about it.
