    I prefer Bezös' Turker:

    A Turker, a hit, and a qualification are placed in a sealed home office. If their monitor detects a HIT (ie, money), their qualification is revoked, killing the ability to earn money.

    Eventually they starve to death because I don't understand the rest of that wikipedia page. The end.

    Nah I'm w/ you was just joshing around b/c bored.

    I think it's at least semi-decent people who get it ever since the day I got it. Still wouldn't recommend using it to a req though

    You didn't make it up. There was definitely a rash of people being denied. I think the Texas thing was mostly speculation though. I don't think mturk ever gave a reason.

    Ironically I only got masters after I became efficient enough on mturk to break through 10k a year. It was immediately after a mega batch rejection too. Amazon really don't know what they're doing with mturk.

    You got it at the same time as the big batch of others got it though right?

    It wasn't like you got mass rejected, and then Amazon was like "hey, check out this Nick guy. He just got 600 rejections. Lets give him masters."
    It was more like - "Hey we got a big list of workers, someone flip the switch." right?

    Only loosely following this convo but I know for a fact that being denied/put on a wait for some demographics are a thing. A single mother I know applied for mturk and she received an email saying her demo had been met. I actually saw the email(she asked me wtf was going on) so I know it's at least a thing they do. It didn't list -what- caused her to be rejected, however.

    Due to the overwhelming majority of feedback from workers, we have decided to make Masters require 500,000 approved HITs without a single rejection. If you would like to comment on this change, please send us an email and we will be sure to ignore it entirely and send you a generic, automated response instead.
    Happy Turking!

    thank god, thanks for clearing my sanity. it might have actually been on mtg now that i think of it, but whatever. there were probably like 2-3 people from texas who got denied and made it a texas thing. bullying them for having delicious food or something.

    sometimes i dream really trivial but convincing things, like that i'm at the store buying milk. i'll wake up irl and go to make cereal and have no milk, and realize it was a dream. it's stupid, and i always worry about bringing up those things in conversation as if it was real. i started thinking it was that, lol.

    MTurk's sole purpose is to fuel Amazon's world class AWS services with AI adjacent human processing as cheaply as can be achieved.

    Amazon knows exactly what they're doing w/ MTurk. Workers just don't like it b/c they're the disposable part.

    I don't think any reasonable worker could ever think Amazon should spend more than 2 microseconds giving a crap about MTurk. The entire thing runs on the ability to discard the vast majority of us as individuals & plug/play the next brain capable of pressing 2 buttons w/o drooling on itself.
    THAT WAS THE JOKE, LACEY, GOSH PAY ATTENTION

    :p
