All this talk about having to sit on Mturk staring at forums and scrapers 24/7 and I'm like...man, fuck that shit. Get a second screen or something so you can actually do something else. I've got actual work I want to do. I make a consistent 40+ a day (20+ before Masters) and manage to do things in between hits. Some days I don't even get that, but I get by. Maybe I could make more, but I quit my job because I didn't want it ruling my life. I actually do just say "fuck it" and go running every other day. I don't let Mturk stop me from taking showers. I'm not about to give it to Mturk, either. I got things I want to do and a business of my own I want to start.
It's just not worth it to do what people say they do to get by on MTurk.
