Title: Please send me a valid Siddharth Suri code | PANDA Requester: AS [AOTSBJGYMR4N8] (TO) TO Ratings: No TO (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Please send me a valid Siddharth Suri code Time: 60 minutes Hits Available: 1 Reward: $1.20 Qualifications: None

wow this must be him .

Okay, let me break this down for some of you guys. First, I have 2 codes. Second, they are "expired". Which means the damn things are valid codes and it took me a while to get them, including setting up a hit on MTurk as a requester. I received about 30 codes, 28 of them were bs and people trying to just scam me. Those 28 will be rejected. The other 2 codes I will approve, since they give me a no longer working message when entered.

So to sum it up, this experiment is paying the majority of people 0. Yes, 0 dollars per hour. I went a bit far than your average person to obtain codes so I am actually in the negative now.

So if this experiment is on how people share, the community, blah blah it's one that apparently is designed to pay only a select few. How far will people go for a working code that don't have one? I'm not doing anything else. Done my part, down 10 dollars, and still unable to work on the hits.

So there you have it. You can keep chasing it if you want, but this experiment is nasty. I'm kinda pissed right now. Not that I am down 10 bucks, but rather I have two codes that should work, but hey I guess part of the experiment is some codes cannot be shared. Weird.

Now if you don't mind, I'll go back to working regular MTurk and stop chasing the bs I've been doing the last hour when I could have made a few more dollars. Kudos to the two guys that actually did share your codes with me though. There's something revealing there. If these guys were banging out at 50 dollars an hour with these amazing hits with their code, then why the hell would they take the time to let their scraper run and see mine, take it, submit it and decrease their earnings? My theory is because their codes aren't working like they should. Don't get me wrong, those things give a different message, and doesn't say they are invalid so I believe strongly they are the right codes. I would give my code away for 5 bucks if I knew it was bs too.

Also the tasks are going down and up, down and up. There's no way in hell this requester is paying the amount that is shown. At the rate it's going down/up, if they are getting completed, he's dropped over 3k on this batch. Sorry, that seems ridiculous, with the fees too. Ain't no study I've come across recently would pay that for a batch that by the preview picture would pay 15 cents for 5 seconds of work in the 10s of thousands. Bs study if you ask me.

People still haven't realized that you can only get $7.50 from the batch.

 

[Sidonie]

Ah. Just heard that you can only do 50 of the Suri HITs. Kind of loses the luster a little bit.

Their last qualled hit paid 5.00 total, so it makes sense.

 

[Cruxy]

No, actually, that's not logical. There's not a requirement to read the top of the page here. Usually it's just something fun and social up there, so a lot of people probably pass right over it. I did scan the actual thread before asking my question, though, and didn't see anything. Out of 20,000+ of HITS completed, I only have a few rejections. But thanks for assuming.

You scanned the thread? The entire thread? Its been a shit storm of Suri posts all day.

 

[C to the J]

know how to use TOR?

 

[RatMonkey]

wow this must be him .

Not quiet, I put up a 5 dollar hit.

I'm old I can teach you both when you come live with me.

I thought you wanted to be my candy making, unicorn giving mom...not my mothball smelling grandma

 

[zero18]

If you have the code, could you please share?

I can but let me do my 50 first does anyone know if you can do more? it doesn't count down at all

Obviously not all 54 pages, no, I did not. But I don't need your negative assumptions about how many attention checks you think I fail simply because I didn't see a poll at the top of the page.

It's not too painful. Don't remember the time but maybe like 20 mins?

I think Suri is the bane of every moderator and admin of every turking community right now.
