    I guess I mean that it's really not a snapshot of anyone that actually cares. you could tell me 96% of turkers complete less than 100 hits a week and it skews everything.

    I'm more excited for Amazon to decide none of this PR is worth it, they close up MTurk, then all the people contributing to these articles can hail their victory over big bad Bezos.

    Who will continue being filthy fucking rich until the end of time.

    And that could lead to some massive disparate impact discrimination claims.

    Saw on reddit today someone make the statement again that most people are lying when they say they make a decent amount, that if everyone were honest we'd see it's all just beer money.

    I'd have to be drinking a fukton of beer for what this part time barely having any closed qual old so I'm screened out of a lot of hits worker makes.

    It's probably not far off. If you're here, you're probably a power turker. The big problem with articles like that is that they focus on the dramatic "loOk hoW teRRible tHIs iS," which does nothing to help, instead of saying "These platforms can be useful, but people who post work on them have a responsibility to offer reasonable compensation for the work."

    I hate having "well-known turker under my name." I need something more snazzy.

    Top priority @ChrisTurk/

    I mean they probably do. For a lot of people, mturk is just a way to make a little extra side income and isn't their main hustle, which is perfectly fine. Don't misrepresent those people are relying on mturk for a living and say that Amazon owes these people anything, though, that's annoying.
