Mturk is almost dead now due to there being too many workers... Can we all not tell people about mturk and how much money we make?

more workers = pay drop

Yeah, because when I tell people about the tens of dollars a day I make here, they can't wait to quit their jobs as Finance officers and consultants to flock to Mturk.

Is it changing colors when it turns off?

Yes, its going from green to white (I haven't customized any colors or anything on PC). I click "collect" it turns green, then turns right back to white..no hits collected.

Of the 15 or so people I told exactly 0 have followed through with signing up or even ever talking to me about it again.

I've been talking about it for 9 years. Only 1 person signed up but quit after a few months.

I tell people I work in client services for Amazon. It sounds more respectable than something called Mechanical Turk, yet boring enough where no one wants to hear the details.

You know, if we also spread the idea of the benefits of being a requester to the right people, it can always work both ways.

I signed up my mom and walked her through one survey, and of course, it didn't have a code....

I don't think she's touched it since....

Why do you consider it almost dead?

Mturk being dead is like those certain types of people that say the end is near on certain dates and it never happens. Like I said yesterday in regards to something. If it's slower for you. Adapt and evolve. Could it be better. Sure? But could probably say that for everything.

My earnings have been consistently curving upward over the three years I've been turking.

just to add more. Let's not assume people have to patience for all these add ons and scripts and what-not. Like some have said people will quit. .Those that stick it out and deal with this stuff. They deserve it. The scripts and add on are jobs in themselves to get working. More people wanna make money with me. the better. Were on this forum, were in it together. or else we wouldnt be on this forum.

Yeah that's my problem actually. Got really into doing work from one requestor who then went off Mturk, then saw more and more people keep coming on to do work for them. Now it's very hard to make money through them, which is why I'm back no Mturk more lately

(what was weirdest was that people who were on the private sub, did a lot of work on this, would then go to /r/mturk and sing the praises of this. IE, it was Crowdsurf lol.)

Yeah you guys are probably right. Guess I was being paranoid
