11/11 - Stay Awake Wednesday

This rate doesn't even get me a funko pop.

 

If you only work once/3 years the math still favors the lazy

but srs there is always a decent masters batch dropping it just never lasts long sad

 

The past two days haven't been too bad for me but today I'm literally only at $2 right now HAH

 

Maxed out Monday.
Made like 70+ yesterday

Today is slow... (at 10 bucks)

 

A lot of turkers got hosed a few years back when the policies changed and made posting masters hits basically the same rate as regular hits, so now a lot more good work is masters work than it was say 4 years ago.

 

I am a firm believer in the "Golden HIT for Masters" theory. Before I got it back in the paleolithic, people were discussing their ideas, and someone (the guy who ran MTG I think, I forget his name) said "Do HITs from this requester when you see them. I'm pretty sure they are used for granting Masters." I did them the next time, and like two weeks later I got it.

But this could just be the inane ramblings of an old man who still believes in fairy tales. Who's to say?

P.S. - What are these Captchas of which you speak?

 

Not the half of that post I expected you to make fun of me for

 

I already suggested sacrificing you today. Thought I should take it easy on this one. Plus, we all know you're the like the laziest masters worker around, so no new information to reveal there.

 

30 is the limit for each batch. It resets after each new batch. Their HITs are not efficient money makers but they're reliable work.

 

I like to think of it as being the most efficient, tyvm.

 

zingy

Social Photo hits. I personally don't believe in the golden hit theory, as i never touched them and still got it.

It took me almost 3 years, i got it on 5/22/2017 and i started in 2014.
These were my stats at the time when i got it

 

would be nice to know how I earned Masters
instead of believing I got it do to them letting
a blindfolded monkey throw a dart at a dartboard
and it hit my name

I've got a grand total of 8 rejections 99.98% rejection rate. I count myself out of the masters qualification
I also remember one guy saying that he got masters after almost two years of inactivity on Mturk, only logged back in once he got the email. So I kind of doubt that there's a specific golden hit that you can do to get it. All talks of masters through the years leads me to believe that it is indeed a quasi-random qualification.
