Seems like it's the type of work for a research firm. It appears to me that the company that hired Dustin for this is trying to get off rather cheaply.
Yea definitely... I am pretty sure these last few tasks will be sitting for a while. Some of the tasks were really great the rest were pretty shit tbh and these last ones are brutal.

Finding family members for .15 is definitely not happening even with a .10 or .20 bonus

the price could be a major factor in him getting the contract :tinfoil:
Yeah, I'm assuming it is. It's unfortunate though because companies typically pay a lot of money for this type of research.

Yes and I am sure he is making a nice piece of change for this as well...

Oh I'm sure, but it's probably a fraction of what this type of work typically brings.

Has anyone ever tried to work directly for a requester or a company that posts hits ? Like sent them a letter stating an interest with a resume asking if any positions are open?

Happens from time to time. I've been contracted a few times to do the full load of work a new requester needed done off platform... but I think arranging things off platform is against the rules. >.>

I skipped the whole family batch entirely. I just peeked at the other ones. I don't feel their is the money-vation/bonus-vation to consider it. It looked like the family one has going down (seemed it was being hammed) in the morning

It's def not a bad thing to try, especially if you have a marketable skill set. You can also look into Upwork... pretty good place to set up that exact sort of situation.
