TOOT TOOT!

All aboard the reject bus!

 

definitely not worth it for 30 cents regardless

 

at least it didn't appear to be. It looked too daunting so I returned

 

Any survey that expects me to remember what I was doing more than 2 hours ago just gets returned.

True dat. It was like 2.5 minutes for 30 cents.

I was scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.

Alegion Production Ops Sidecar [A14MGESM1G4EUP] This is a photography collection project for images of Leafblower - $0.10 | PANDA

Underpaid

$1.48 / hour

​

Pros:
This is the time it took me to go downstairs to my garage, snap a photo of a leafblower, walk back upstairs, email the photo to myself, upload it to Alegion, check out their licensing agreement, then submit the HIT.

If, by some stretch or miracle you happen to have a qualifying photo already on your phone you can do this faster. Fast enough to make 10cents worth it? Highly doubt it.

Cons:
Hourly is absolutely garbage. I mean even as a standalone hourly wage its horrible but given the effort level involved this is actually crazy. They don't have a country qualification on the HIT though so assuming they don't care if non-Americans do it (makes some sense, still though).

Makes you agree to forfeit all your rights/yaddayadda to the photo which is covered under MTurk's PA anyway so not a big deal but man is it terribly formatted & difficult to read.

I generally expect better of Alegion. But hey they can't all be winners.

​

Pros:
This is the time it took to upload a pre-existing photo that matched their HIT criteria.

Since you can technically upload 3 images of the same item (just need different angles) it might be possible to run the average up to close to $6/hr I guess if you happened to have a ton of the items in your garage ready to be photographed.

Almost 40s of this was waiting on their upload tool to finish though, so its really bottle-necked by their server's performance, which for me was not good.
