this is a good point.
I submitted screenshots of mine along with dashboard screenshots and amazon payments "statements" when I got my mortgage. - all of which were incredibly unhelpful, unprofessional, and unofficial tbh. Caused many issues with the underwriters.

but the weekly earnings is probably the most professional and official looking of any of the above

 

i sent an email too. they're essentially paystubs, i can't imagine a world where it's not important to have a receipt of payment.

It boggles the mind that someone actually went to the feedback page that no one uses and I did not know existed until like an hour ago and said "hey, telling me how much I've earned every week is not useful."

 

I should probably get one of these for myself and another for birdee

WTH? Not useful? Unreal. I didn't even notice the extra text until I saw some posts here about it. I'm writing to them now.

 

I don't believe them for one minute. It's just an excuse. Like when a requester says, "Hey, we listened to you workers out there and this is why we lowered our pay from $2 to $0.30."

 

I emailed too. I like getting the weekly report. It is also nice to see how the bonuses add up.

 

Sometimes I like to play a little game called "that didn't happen"

So yeah, that didn't happen

 

This one is perfect for @Randomacts , right?

 

I wonder if they think it's not useful because MTS also tracks your weekly, but MTS's weekly counts all submitted hits vs all approved hits and also doesn't count bonuses.

 

Part of me thinks some people may have provided that feedback out of spite. The same way people said they contacted mturk about people using scripts, hit catchers, etc... The same people who said they would post loads of fake reviews on TO so scripts that use TO ratings would be useless...

...but the part of me that is trying to follow my New Year's Resolution and live by Hanlon's Razor is telling that other part of me to stop thinking that...

 

MTS is also an unofficial extension that they have no control over. I honestly think Keith the intern got tired of showing up Thursdays after school to press the button

 

Exactly!

 

Or the boss decided to save the paychecks.
