    Same here. I got the code, but I'm like man.. that was too fast. came here to check to see if anyone else was reporting times on it. yes, I answered some questions but I dont see how they could possibly think that was 15mins worth. at the same time, maybe they're indecisive and it takes ~3 minutes per bubble to make up their mind?

    I left a comment about how long the feedback should be and offered to provide more upon request. It took me 5 minutes and I went slowly.

    Maybe? It was quick but I definitely couldn't have done it in 2 minutes unless you got a different version. I had to read an essay and provide feedback.

    14,092 approved, 2 rejected and an iffy $4 hit. I'll take the chance :)
    I also commented on length and offered to provide more if survey was busted.

    I got the essay one. Total time was around 5 min, quick and easy for 2 bucks and really awesome if you get the possible bonus.

    For those people who enjoy A9s, and did some of the watches, you might be interested to know how Amazon perceives you.



    "If you're an mturker, you can do pretty well by answering wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf." Yup.

    Also, were you guys aware that mturkers talk on forums [not Amazon's] with each other and express opinions about HITs? Urine's also sort of salty and wet, with a grainy mouth taste. FYI.

    ETA: If you're ever remotely interested in how Amazon does stuff, you should watch this. You can skip to about half an hour in and learn about how the A9s are set up, and then start from the beginning and walk away with a reall good understanding of how Amazon is selling this to researchers.

    They can't pay a single person to answer a phone. Probably not. Probably an intern somewhere once looked at the forums and typed something. Amazon's made it very clear it doesn't care about 'us'.

    This video is very fascinating. Check at 32:10 where he addresses the "Myth" of worker fatigue. We'll be happy to know our accuracy doesn't go down with time. :)
