Holy shit @ChrisTurk I just realized accidentally when clicking a web+panda:// link in Firefox and having it open in Chrome that proto-pandas give you a simple way to accept HITs across different browsers.

The score for my protocol just keeps going up and up and up.

They're also registered with the OS, and therefore open up with whichever browser they're registered to when you open them in Windows Explorer. :O

 

Yeah, most of the clips average about 25 seconds. So, $.02/minute. No thanks.

It's too bad because when they first began posting, they paid decently. Two clips, less than 10 seconds each, for $.04 -- about $.12/minute.

Yup, I used to do tons of them. Not anymore

 

Me: I need to get up

Bearnie: No. Cuddle now.

 

I'm doing some for passive pennies while writing code and replying here, now that you bring them up.

 

They're not great $/hr.-wise, but they require extremely little actual attention. So as far as "active" $/hr., they're pretty solid if you're doing them while you're doing something else productive.

A quick little autoplay script fixes the snag of having to start each one, and you're home-free to be passive:

PHP:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         RVD Nina Single
// @namespace    ,
// @version      1
// @description  .
// @author       Cuyler Stuwe (,)
// @include      *mturk*
// @grant        unsafeWindow
// ==/UserScript==
if(!document.referrer.includes("3E9LIZY4C1L16UH4HAGSGX2H8U96OT")) {return;}
document.querySelector("#playerButton-testcase").click();


 

It's also a little unsettling to think that Amazon is paying such a low amount for work on their own platform. Not a good look.
