Survey people, why do you prefer surveys over batches?
Easy: because I can at least make
some money from surveys compared to the effort required. I have no desirable closed batch qualifications, the vast majority of batches suck and in the few hours a day I actually turk the only things generally available to me are surveys. In the last year there have only been 2 batches I am able to work on that have been worthwhile: John Doe and pins.
It's not for lack of wanting. I can only work on what's available to me. There's a gigantic chasm between people who turk all day with Masters and/or desirable quals, and everyone else. From personal experience, it sucks to be in the latter group. :100:
