They are usually better? I only saw a couple of dumb responses.

They used to suggest an average length of 120 or 140 characters for replies, and a good % of people would comply. There were still dumb single word answers, but the overall quality was a lot better.

You can go on the Reddit MTurk sub and see countless posts of people putting bullshit answers for questions on HITs because they think it's funny. It's so upsetting when you actually have to depend on this platform to make a living. I really, really wish Amazon did a better job at teaching requesters how to deal with those people.

Remesh really needs to use a kick button.

That would require Amazon caring about anything but their cut.

They'd make more money if requesters weren't leaving in droves.

Well, I mean, you're dead-on right, but if effort was put into professionalizing (or re-professionalizing as some would tell it) the platform, you'd aggro a lot of people who are putting up with the current mess.

One of many things that should be done and probably won't be.

Also personally I wouldn't call it a living, but I realize for some people it is (and the A->B of that is complicated).

I still wish I had found mTurk 9 years ago, not that it would have changed the situation for anyone but me.

Wow it is really looking like an Errand Day.

Or maybe a Sit And Look Out The Window And Wonder How I Got Here day.

Pretty much. I feel like I've spent more time today playing the wargame things on overthewire.org than I have actually working. But hey, at least I'm learning something.

Just a new guy with no particular authority saying "embrace the power of and."

Sometimes things are both cause and effect.

Okay, you don't know what I mean.

I know what you mean! Tough room today.

Ok, everyone. Group hug.

I just caught a half-hour $2 study with lots of red and I'm seriously considering trying even though it might be broken. (sigh)

You'll regret it.
You can probably find a batch willing to pay slightly better you can pick at.

I lied I did not win, the cat won. Broken sleep has had me napping all day.

i think its important to be semi-alert to world news. i can probably name 4-5 news topics rn

The BBC site is excellent. American news seldom covers new about the rest of the world, but the BBC does an excellent job of not only covering the world well, but also America. You seem to me to be the kind of person that would get a lot out of the BBC.
