The money saving of not having kids is likely larger then the amount of money you guys get from those surveys.

A. Fuckin' rude.

I can understand that but I don't know anyone (unless they are hiding in which case call me!) that has gotten rich off of Mturk

That has not been my experience. The increases I have seen in my income on Turk have come from quality work (IE High approval rate) and from clearing number based approval hurdles 1000 approved, 2500 approved, etc. I am not equivocating the work I do on surveys with high art but again it has generally speaking been my experience that focus and persistence account for more than lining up multiple jobs.

How much do you make daily, on average, using this strategy?

I still owe that bitch a punch in the face...

Depends how much time I invest, but on an average day I earn $10-$15 for 2-3 hours of actual work and about hour or two of shitposting around here and generally just being the ray of sunshine that I am.

Has anyone done the Two-Part University Study on Real-Effort (~ 20 minutes) hit today? The second part keeps saying user ID not found during the middle of the survey and I can't advance. Anyone else have this issue?

I do.

Do you feel that it is fair to use scripts created by other workers to achieve an advantage, particularly keeping in mind that the queue is part of the original Amazon platform.

Sorry, I really need to edit before I post.

Honestly, I'm not turking to get rich, nor do I ever expect to.... but actually being able to pay my bills, take care of my babies and occasionally get shit we want- around my constantly changing schedule, and my up and down health, is pretty fucking awesome.

Single parenting and making ends meet is hard enough, but add chronic illness into the mix, and holy fucking hell...

Amen. Crossed out part included.

There's a 2.50 HIT that has a 15 minute timer floating around. Had it running most of the day. Took a 30 minute nap...guess when the fucker decided to show up?

It's part of the job. Just like the queue is. Any method of working that involves using outside methods to increase your speed or ability to do HITs isn't strictly speaking fair. I never said I don't queue HITs though, I just don't have a program for it. I am by no means a person who claims to hold the moral high ground but I call a spade a spade as I see it. My participation in this forum is a means of increasing my income, my scripts are a means of increasing my income, my quals are a means of increasing my income none of which are hidden to other workers. Ignorance isn't always bliss and all that.

I didn't encounter any problems. Did you put in your email address at the beginning, or your Mturk ID? Because they go off of the Email you gave them at the end of the first part.

So it's ok to f5 and queue but not auto-fresh to queue? Just trying to figure this out.
