the 1st thing everyone points out to me when I tell them about mturk is the breligs. Even after I tell them to ignore the receipt posts, its always "damn you to shit for 2 cents? I'm not doin that!"

I wanna be a hot girl with fake boobs so I can sell protein powder on instagram
I'm a girl, missing the big boob thing though. I recall reading an article about a girl making a huge amount of money on Instagram saying she "hated" it and wanted to stop because she felt bad that she was misleading people. Last I checked she still posts.

I don't understand the instructions for these HITs. :/ Can someone help explain them to me?
Simple, verify if the artist has the song and the video represents that song regardless if it is the actual artist but they are not really worth it since they haven't put up a large batch in ages :D

They make them sound more confusing than they are. Look at the name of the song; is it a real song? Look at the name of the artist; does the artist perform the song featured in the video? Does the video actually feature the artist/song?

I sure wish social media was around when I was younger.

I have no shame.

Typical conversation with someone about turking:

other: so, you work online?
me: yeah. Microtasking. Mostly on Mturk and Prolific Academic.
other: Mturk?
me: Mechanical turk
other: huh huh. that name sounds dumb
me: It's inspired by a mechanical construct of DaVinci's. A suit of armor that was powered by a waterfall... I'm losing you, aren't I?
other: So what kind of stuff do you do?
me: everything. Surveys, watching ads, sentiment scoring.
other: sounds boring.
me: It pays the bills
other. I should tell my wife about it. how much do you make?
me: I made $10,000 last year.
other: yeah, she could make money instead of sitting on her ass
me: *now resisting urge to throat punch* it takes time to get qualifications and make good money there. Took me years.
other: yeah, whatever. It's not even real work anyway.
me: ...
My sister wanted a way to make some extra money at home. She actually came over for a good portion of a day to watch me turk, see what I do, I showed her quals and whatnot, etc. She took notes. I explained that I only made about $9 in my first week and that it takes time to figure everything out, but now, without trying all that hard and continuing to take care of my house and kids, I usually make $175-$200 a week.

Less than a week later, she posts something like, "Man, I really need to make some extra cash." :headwall:

Basically, if the song name provided is an actual song name, and the artist/musician has the song name, you would press yes for both of those questions. Sometimes you'll get something like "TRACK 2," and of course an artist likely isn't going to have a track with that name. In my experience though, most of the songs are accurate.

Not sure on the specifics of that... but you may try running hs logged in again set to only scrape 1 page with your murk search page set to view 100. MPREs aren't such a problem anymore with it set like that
i will try that tomorrow. thanks! :)

I unfortunately do. I admire folks like you though. ABC just did a thing about girls dancing/escorting to come out of college debt free. I'd be 100% on board if I wasn't married and had the body confidence. Buy myself a house (cash) with what some of these girls are earning a year.
