the classic response is ...." making almost $0 is better than making a certain $0 plus I find them FUN" :banghead:
While I totally agree with the sentiment, I can completely empathize and see that point of view. It's almost like asking someone "why do you work at mcdonald's versus *insert higher paying no degree/training job here*'. I have a difficult time judging either position; I can only be grateful that I'm in a position where I can be selective in the work I choose to complete here at the MTruk.

I didn't find that people talked about having fun so much as that they were straight up terrified of not being able to pay bills and whatnot - but oh, yeah, the whole "$2 is better than $0" thing was pretty constant. It's an argument I quit trying to have a long time ago - and in all fairness, if I was as afraid as some of the people I talked to, I probably wouldn't be super rational either. It's hard out there

But without doing any penny hits or much of anything under .05 I make my $50 to $100 a day 7 days a week.... so yeah that stuff shouldn't be done or ever justified for being done.

On the other hand, if everyone did that, you'd probably make less.

Or something, I'm just arguing until I feel it's acceptable to leave for the day.

Yeah it's a whole lot of "if that then this" type of scenarios but I am mainly referring things that once paid great and kept getting done all the way down to a penny...and that penny now contains what amounts to 4 hits worth of work.

My grandfather was a very healthy farmer who was never sick until he got a sinus infection. The doctor got him to test some experimental drug (and sign all his rights away). Within a day of taking that drug his body started shutting down. They had to put him in an induced coma as one by one his heart, kidneys, liver, etc. quit working. He was hooked up to tubes and kept alive for several months. It was a painful death with lots of suffering. We all believe that he would still be alive and well if they had just given him antibiotics. So I would not recommend being a human guinea pig.
So sorry! That sounds horrible. :(
