Good.

Masters are the upper echelon of turkers.

The truly elite.

 

Oh hey. There's a forum here. Hi.

 

Yeah, I'm sure at least 25% of them even deserve having the masters qual.

 

Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.

 

Gotta pay the bills somehow, scab.

Sucks hard because I give them my all when I catch one but idk if I'll ever get masters. Almost 20k approved and no masters in sight.

 

It's okay I'm doing it too, for the money, cause I'm a scab.

I'm at 115k and I doubt I'm getting masters anytime soon. There's plenty of people who deserve it more who also don't have it, yet they gave it to pretty much anyone who'd even sneezed on mturk not so very long ago now.

 

If that's y'alls definition of elite...I'm golden.

 

I don't blame them honestly. The last one I did a few months ago people were constantly typing stuff about mturk and the hit length and all this other nonsense unrelated. I don't think this is going to get them much better responses, but hell, I would try something new too.

 

I can blame them easily. Why not just build a tutorial qual HIT and funnel out the riffraff with that?

 

yeah at the end of the swarm, when you get a chance to tell them anything in one text box. He responded to the sentiment as well.

he prob emailed as well.

I emailed to tell them it was broken, and the guy acknowledged my email in the swarm so that guy's comms is 5/5

 

There can't be that many people with bought masters accounts, right? Right, guys?

Because like, effort dude.

 

I know, I know just still a shame. And I'm sure they'll stay masters because the metrics will show more quality overall.

 

they literally already have a qual for people who give good answers
