The 0% is always amazing to see. There should be some red flags triggered to put those requesters in immediate review.
The odds of all work being unacceptable is probably less than a finding needle in a haystack, especially when the qual is that the approval rate of the workers is > 98%.
I wouldn't mind if their data set included sources like "References: 3000 people scammed on mturk for my free data"

see my issue with the AMT % ratings like that, is that is super open to interpretation.
have they rejected all the work? (if so, where are the rejection ratings?)
have they just not approved any work yet?
i really think there needs to be a slightly better version of that % rating (imo)

 

that movie was so cheesy yet so amazingly well acted by him

 

I have a weird thing called Reactive Hypoglycemia. When I eat my blood sugar goes down instead of up. My body produces way too much insulin when I eat a tiny bit of food. My blood sugar will get really low (in the 30's and 40's) and then I pass out. Eventually my body stops producing insulin and my blood sugar level comes back up. I have a continuous glucose monitor and I have to get my A1C checked to make sure I am not trending to low with my sugars. With the vaccine they aren't sure how my body will react, so we are TRYING to get my A1C as high as possible before I get the vaccine, so if I can't eat because of the side effects I won't get too low. Once I am averaging in the 50's, if I get to the point it's hard to eat, then I can get into trouble. For example, having the stomach flu is really bad for me. I have to eat every 2 hours a protein and a fat, without carbs or sugar. If I am sick, then I can't eat. It's all very weird. And I thought I was the only person in the world with this until we found out one of my four sons has it too. Now because the immediate side effects of the vaccine could make me not feel well for a couple days, the doctor wants to be sure I am at my healthiest to get the vaccine. Hopefully, I am ok and the vaccine is easy peasy. LOL!

 

I mean for a man ACTIVELY dying of cancer at the time of recording Raul Julia did an amazing job. The only reason he was in it was because he kids loved street fighter and he wanted to do something for them before he passed.
Also, that scene is pure big dick energy.

 

Texas is opening up vaccines to everyone on 3/29 if anyone here still needs one. I got my first dose of Moderna last Friday.

 

I used to get confused seeing the lower approval ratings with no rejection reviews. I'm still a noob but I noticed the "Not available" ratings as being new requesters? Not sure if that's right. But then approval rating being listed would be the same as our AMT approval rating, as such for total work /accepted/rejected.
If I see 72% approval rating with no rejections on TV or TO I just ditch it. My understanding was ~30% of the HITs that requester posts are rejected.

 

Slow day today.

 

All of this.

And also, if you post a batch and get 50% bad data, you basically have to reject the entire batch because figuring out what is good/bad completely negates the entire point of using MTurk. You'd have been better off just doing the entire project yourself

 

Called insurance. Yeeeeeech

 

you forget this man who also was (apparently) dying of cancer

see thats one of the major issues im bringing up worded almost exactly how people see it. you can never be sure if its ACTUALLY 72% approved and nearly 30% rejected or if its just still catching up approvals as they go.
AMT tends to really half ass its metrics on things like this is seems, i swear it seems like they just have the AMT team throw code at the site and see what sticks

yup, and with doing that the metrics are going to be WILDLY inaccurate, i mean look at that scammer from a few weeks back about the "Maslovian" hit. they popped pretty much every one (and then hilariously moved to Shitlific) and they still had a 30ish% approval rating. HOW? if you mass reject on that scale, HOW can you have that high of an approval rating? the metric is just broken of its calling for data from some netherworld where up is down and cats live with dogs

 

Going to email requesters for my own TP Panels..

 

There are panels for toilet paper?!
