11/15 - Forgotten Friday!

Honestly the entire article was trash. I read it first thing this morning, but I didn't pay much mind to it. think CT has hunted down that one chick to see if she's a member? lol

 

I am watching the kids.

 

I just don't get why turkers talk to reporters. We've all seen the articles. No matter what kind of rose colored spin they promise the interviewees it's going to be a flaming trash heap.

 

My would just be a serious of capchas because by hour 8 I was seeing them everywhere...
(I made my first hundred or so hits doing Capcha codes and confirming they worked)

 

I thought you were dead?

 

I don't hold it against ANY worker if they feel like MTurk isn't good enough for them. I do hold it against the journalist who will blindly exploit those POVs for their own fucking monetization blog/paper/whatever.

MTurk sucks dick for some workers. That's just how it is. Goal is to make it better for them, but I whine and Grinch like a MF'er on this forum all the time & if some journalist came and cherry picked that shit the way this guy cherry picked reddit posts you'd think I hated MTurk too.

But it's totally fucked to publish this kind of lopsided article, because you ABSOLUTELY FUCK people relying on the platform for income. And in researchers cases where does it go? VampiricAcademic (where the SAME digital workers get paid proportionately less) or back to college students (which is fine, no one is entitled to research for cash and I'm not making life judgements on who "deserves" it more) but no matter what the journalist suffers no ill effects and they're onto the next bullshit article.

 

i still think angry @ChrisTurk is the best version of @ChrisTurk

 

Boils my ballsack every time. Times 8,000 for those fuckstick "I study MTurk" academics.

 

that is really good news

Well it'll be hilarious. lmao. Also if they start throwing holy water at you everytime you walk in the church, umm sorry.

Very well said. I'm going to leave you alone now before I DO catch a ban over this for being a sarcastic asshat like usual.

But yes that's a very good way to look at it, and I was only considering the workers possibly abandoning ship, ad not the requestors.

 

i live for chris rants tbh

 

Best part of this slower Friday

 

Oh man so on the cute note.. I put my 1month old into freaking pajamas that have "6m" on them.. a one month old fitting into 6mo clothes.. I'm gonna be rich when she makes it in the WNBA.

Also I'm terrified when do they stop growing WTF
