Some TV reviews are getting to TO review levels of bad. The inaccurate complaints are good to scare people away, so good for me?

I feel like it's the reverse of TO sometimes.

Seeing more and more unrealistically fast survey times on TV recently, TO has been always been turtle slow

i'm slow as mud but some of those times are suspicious as hell

I know some are fast, but be real some are just too fast

I think the batch ratings tend to be more accurate than surveys in general, especially batches with shorter timers

Hannah saving me ass today

Maybe it's just that the fast people tend to review more? If you think the times are unreasonable, make sure to add yours to the pot and drag down the average

I personally like the feature that shows your time compared to others in your "bracket"... because I'm apparently faster than average and want to know other fast people's times and not the turtles. No offense @Turtlefemm

I would assume this is because the faster workers don't review batches

could be or it could be its harder to game.

This is getting extreme, Geo. I'm being swarmed by brick kilns. Last image had two brick kilns in it and a huge pile of bricks...all clear as day. Now make the rest of them as clear, huh. Can't we just tag kilns? Since there don't seem to be that many electric thingies. At least there don't seem to be many. Who could tell? These images are too blurry and taken from outer space. Like from the space station.

That's actually an interesting thought. Maybe some people fudge their times because they don't want a big SLOWPOKE tag on their profile. Or maybe slower survey takers don't leave as many reviews because they don't want a SLOWPOKE tag next to their review.

We're not talking about averages.

The quickest reviews either have issues with the timer or they are flat out scamming.
Often happens when there is only one review too.

I know for a fact after years of doing this that I'm at least in the top 10% of survey takers as far as speed goes so when someone is able to complete a HIT in twice or three times the speed I am then something fucky is going on.

i don't know why some people experience it and others don't, i'm in the camp that does get it. it's pretty annoying when i'm trying to do the quicker surveys in my queue first, and then i come across a hit that has a fast review but in reality took me much longer than what they said

 

[GTR]

and i'm last a lot

Random rejections are sorta their M.O. Supposedly, they're often good about reversing them if you ask though.

yeah
