i heard he went to a mime show or something

 

Ya'll sarcastic just sayin <3

 

Woo-hoo, $12.35 which is low compared to the rest of you, but a bonus is a bonus.

 

Uh, did he only talk to like five people?



It's meaningful to me. It adds money to my household. And yeah, I like some of the tasks I do and find meaning in them.How hard is it to find someone who finds this somewhat meaningful?

 

I only received $5 from that hit.

 

You've received a bonus from Matías for work related to 3YLPJ8OXX8LLMXD6RSPBT5K8WZNX4P.
The value of your bonus is: $9.81 USD

Damn it, I must've done bad or been unlucky. I'll take it though, $10 is still $10!

 

it's not so much the quantity of workers being questioned, it's the quality

 

Yes. He only talked to those who would fulfill the narrative and also only interviewed Redditors. I don't think we'll ever see a genuinely non-biased article about Mechanical Turk that isn't just Amazon bashing and demanding that they (Amazon) pay us a base rate of like $15/hr to transcribe receipts.

 

woops here is the archive link for that one

It took me an entire hour to do 4 3 cent receipts, but I demand to be paid $15 for my time.

 

Right. Understood. But not all work is shit on here. So, I still ask, not hard to find someone who finds meaning?

There's tons of shit work and if you only talk to people who do that work then yeah, hard to find people. But there's more than just shit work.

 

I had no idea there was a chat

 

That doesn't matter to these people. They don't care about the people who make an *actual* living on mturk, or who use it to earn meaningful side income. They just want the world to see how garbage Amazon treats us. How they shun us. How they don't treat us like real employees (which we aren't.)

 

It's for cool kids only.

 

Oh. Now I know how @Marta9227 feels
