Does anyone else just BS their way through MadLabs?
Instructions from preview window: "You must briefly take a look at each solution, and then write a short review about it (positive or negative) as if you had used the product to solve the matching problem."

I would recommend following them or passing on the HIT. We do not condone "BS'ing" ... at least where HITs are concerned :wink:

Well how do you "write the comment in first person, as if you had used the solution personally to solve the given problem" if you have never used the product?

I am not saying that I am not giving it my all.

I don't do those HITs, but I'd approach it as a creative writing task and use my imagination and write as if I had done it, just like the instructions say.

So they really are just your imagination of what it would be like?

BSing was probably a poor choice of words.

I get what you mean. It feels weird to act like that for a product review. But the req just wants you to pretend you used it I guess :shrug:

I think it was the way you worded it :) The HIT asks you to "have fun, be creative" ... so yes, there is imagination and creativity involved. I click on the link and put thought into my answers as if I had used it.

I spend time reading about the features of the product and read a few reviews if they're there. When I feel like I have a good understanding of the product, then I just pretend that I'm a consumer.

Hope that helps. :)
