I'm about to email asking them to pay me another $10 for actually writing.

 

Did it start for you? I got an email saying it was full but I think enough people didn't show up.

 

>Mr. West said Uber’s business is not providing rides but “serving as a technology platform for several different types of digital marketplaces.” He added that the company was “no stranger to legal battles.”
This excuse works for mturk, but not for Uber, wtf.

do you know of another digital marketplace on their platform other than ride sharing. I mean there might be but I've never heard of one

Ont the other hand (excluding Amazon hits on this platform) Amazon's business is selling merchandise online not enforcing STRs, searching satellite images, transcribing receipts etc... What they could do is go after the individual requesters.

 

Uber Eats

 

Isn't VRAPI based in CA? I'd be looking into moving my offices into another state if I were them. Maybe somewhere where the minimum wage is $5.15.

 

Yeah, started and ended already. Took a while to be paired with a group though.

 

Dang, I thought I had saved my spot. Ok, well at least it's good that it's legit.

 

If it's a Kellogg hit, those are always legit. Does mturk charge different % fees when sending out bonuses?

 

forgot that don't have it around here but could still make the argument that it belongs to the same parent company where Amazon has no connection to the requesters who choose to use the platform. Could you use Uber's digital platform to start your own ride sharing business or a business that picks up peoples laundry and prescriptions whatever

 

While it's true that Amazon has no real say in what most requesters pay us, the very least they could do is look at some of the most prolific posters that do operate under the Amazon name. Things like A9 and Rekognition team don't pay well and they need to slap a fat "US not allowed" qual on there if they want me to stop giving them shit.

 

A prod in this direction for the borderline predatory shit like Panels or 411Richmond (which would pay decently by third world standards) would also be appreciated.

It's someone new called Social Innovations. No idea about the bonus fees.

 

Did you keep clicking the timer? You had to click every 2 minutes to save your spot. Either way, they said they'll do more rounds throughout the week. It was decent pay, but you didn't miss out on anything crazy.

I've wondered the same, I don't think so but

 

definitely agree with this just saying so far as not classifying us as employees Amazon is in a much stronger position than Uber

 

Yep, I clicked before the 2 min. timer was up.
