11/16 - Working Things Out Through Wednesday!

Splits all the way down, huh? I'm not surprised.
Since I have your attention, I wanted to thank you for the amazing resource and community you founded with MTG. I started really casual turking in late 2014 and went full-time in November 2015 using the skills and knowledge I picked up from about 90% MTG and 10% Reddit. A year later and the decision to work full-time online has been one of the best ones I've made in my life, and I've got mostly MTG to thank for that.

So, thanks a lot. I hope we can build a similar community here at TH.

I've been out of the Turking business for a couple years now, and I see just as I come back there's apparently a forum schism. I guess this is the hip new place for turkers?

I'm sure this isn't the only one but I've heard people talk about this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.saqfish.scraperfree

 

$10 to $100, then i quit

 

Have there been any major developments in turking in the past two years I should know about?

 

Brelig is now ScoutIt.

You should still avoid them like the plague.

I've never had a problem with MTG, but how can you stick with a place that is obviously dying?

I had noticed a notable decline in HITs being posted there and on MTF, too. It didn't really bother me as I was getting most of my HITs from scraper anyway. HWTF has become especially annoying as every time I go there now, my computer locks up from some damn script that is trying to run.

As far as lurking for HITS, I'll probably just stick with here and MTcrowd.

 

Panda crazy is pretty great, if you're into that sort of thing, Ethraiel made a genius script called Overwatch which is the better version of HM, uhhh....and other stuff someone else will probably mention before I remember. Also we all get puppies for every 50k approved hits now...well, I wish we did anyway, and I have a theory if I ask for a puppy enough times it will happen.

 

Got emmmmmmm

 

I have enough dogs already, I'll set the mailing address to forward all my puppies to you.

So what's Panda Crazy and Overwatch? I use Hitscraper and Turkmaster, either of those you mentioned do a better job? Or just different stuff?
