yea on c-sats with PC all I do is turn it on search and it grabs as many as it can, not sure if that what you mean

Dawg, I don't know what C-SATS stands for. I just looked it up and didn't get an answer. But the google hits did mention the surgeon video I was talking about.

Is mturk dying?

Has mturk ever not been dying?

Is MTS dying?

Seriously dude, you need to stay off of the MTurk subreddit. It's cancer and full of negative people... And frankly there's little more to learn from it after your first few weeks Turking.

Nah that's 100 different people running a requester search for them in PC.
You could grab them raw off the marketplace before PC came in to existence.

While I'm thankful for PC it's another example of how public scripts do little more than decrease the availability of work.

Something I've noticed from Reddit threads is, if a new MTurker doesn't figure out how to use MTS or PC pretty quickly they get frustrated and give up on MTurk.

Like most of Reddit tbh.

I blame you for making me read that nonsense. Somebody doesn't know how to use MTS and made an ominous thread about it. lol

I said that too. I've been there now, 3 times. All useless.

As AI gets smarter there will be less and less batches, and then only the surveys will be left

That's definitely true, but that subreddit does have a lot of helpful people in it, some of them basically set up my whole mturk arsenal of scripts and stuff. But of course, the people who know best on reddit will tell you to come to this forum anyway.

And I am still waiting, I was kind of hoping to wake up to a resolution. I'm so nervous about them and they are preventing me from using my buffer room until they clear, which as you know means losing out on money. I'm a few hundred shy of 10k and have 1 rejection on the books, I have a little wiggle room, but not the numbers that many of these other fine turkers have amassed.
Mom has been in remission a while now, which is great! But that 6 hour round trip to Iowa City several times a week is not missed at all! Sorry about your dad, I hope he is doing well it's weird because I was never scared that mom was going to die, as if I just knew she would be alright. My dad passed when I was 16 and I had a son pass in his infancy but I kind of knew it was coming where they were concerned, with mom it just never crossed my mind as an option, if that makes sense

Sorry, got hit with a migraine and had to relax for a bit. As for Rose, I'm just like.. should I write her again? Should I write to someone else? I know it's not that big of a deal but it just pisses me off!!
Glad to hear your mom is in remission. My dad passed 3 years ago, it's okay, but yes I know exactly what you mean - he was diagnosed/passed within 6 months so it never really was something we thought about either. I am so so sorry to hear about your dad and son <3

yea, those are the surgeon videos where you rate the skill. Pay ain't all that great but if I'm bored I'll do them. Also depends on who's around me, I got chewed out pretty good for the grand daughter watching one

The good news is that the machines will probably rise up and kill us all by then.

 

[Peachy]

we’re all dying tbh

What an awful thing to say

I think the problem is that they go to reddit in the first place. That's mistake one.

/r/beermoney was more helpful to me for mturk than the actual mturk subreddit

 

[rsclone]

I once made more than $30 in a single day on Mturks.....

beermoney is okay to find out what's out there. I've gotten use from that sub.

 

[Rogue and Ready]

go back and look at what posted and read the TO. The numbers are there.

As I have said, I cannot get into T.O.

I try to grab hits within seconds of them being posted. Many times they are gone in seconds as well if you don't have a panda set up. Anyone can catch it, and check it out before they do it seeing as there is no penalty for returning a HIT.
