hello I just joined this site today because of some problems I have been having with the mturk

I have always used hit scraper and panda crazy to get hits. Before the new website was forced onto us, I was making 35-50$ a day easily (not including bonuses). Now hit scraper doesn't work and I am kind of panicking because I am way low in my earning for this month.

The past few days have been the worst working experience since joining mTurk in September, I was only able to make about 15$ in 3 days....

I am just hoping because it is Christmas time the work is slower and it will pick back up soon. I am using turkmaster now but I still can't find any new surveys. Has anyone else seen a big drop in their earnings? I have pretty much only done surveys and switched to smaller hits if my approval % dropped below 99%.

Welcome to MTC!

There is a ton of info in this thread. I would also head to tampermonkey and make sure you are using the most up to date versions of both of those programs.

i just printed the weekly emails. not off payments itself

thats the thing though - i didn't make a whole lot last year turking (in comparison to this year)

i want to be able to prove this years since it's a lot more than last years

i don't know. all i know is bank statements and weekly reports is not enough

If you print the PDF statements from Amazon Payments, people have said before that looks more legit than weekly emails since it's formatted like a bank statement.

I went through the same shit bro. shit is hard. I even had a strong 10 year rental history and these apartments still look at me like I walked in and farted.

my biggest question: are you currently making 3x the rent?

yeah. for the apartments i just visited... it was only $613 a month (which is very low here). i've made like $1750-2100 a month on mturk the last several months. and after chatting with the lady about everything... i still feel like i won't be able to get one there

Oh, how I love you SweetiePuff @SweetiePuff!!! I'm so tired, I forgot I accepted it before I went to bed exhausted, super-late last night. I thought I accepted it this morning and was starting to lose my mind. You just saved what's left of my sanity. :)
