July last year. I just looked it up.

300% increase in cost.

So 3 pennies instead of 1? This shit is starting to piss me off, and not just on a personal level. I'm working at a place that hosts a lot of law students. I want to talk to them about it, but at the same time, I don't want to fuck things up for other people. How do you guys feel about this?

I also refuse to work on Mturk for 12 hours, I have a family and that would basically be me in front of the computer and doing nothing else.

It's called business. There are ways to get around it, i.e. TurkPrime. Trying to sue Amazon will do nothing in terms of making Turk cheaper.

And for the 3 pennies to one thing, not necessarily. It costs 1 cent to make 1 0 cent hit, 2 cents to make 1 1 cent hit, and so on. The prices were increased for hits posted in larger numbers than 9 or something.

I've actually considered putting out a book a couple times... but yeah, a $20 volume that included none of the big important tools we use sounds only marginally useful and fully predatory.

I get it, it's scary. That's why I asked. Things will not just spontaneously improve though.

When I first began working on Mturk, I was a member of a different forum, and there was someone there who offered lessons for $30 per session. I'm not even kidding.
