03/15 - Woolly Wednesday

I don't use Catcher at all. I use Finder because it gives me the verbal alert for my favorites and for PickFu/Product Pinion - but I click on those directly in Finder.

 

I would report the HIT, if you haven't already. I believe it is somewhat effective.

Interesting discussion, fellow Turkers. Unfortunately, I have to take my leave now for family dinner, and to work on taxes. Ugh! Good night.

 

Reqs that reject for "free work" are extremely rare, imo. I can really only see this being done by the shady types who are posting obviously unethical hits like asking you to be their botnet.

Most unfair rejections just come down to reqs that don't understand what they are doing, or don't understand how things work

 

*flatly* It's not, Amazon doesn't care if the requesters reject everyone for no reason so as long as they get their cut.

 

Do you use a catcher-type script at all? Just curious.

If they're getting low quality workers then they need to work with the system and set their quals for people with a 98+% approval rating. They have to put in some effort. There are plenty of excellent quality workers around here if they work with the system MTurk has in place. When they use Cloud Research logic and block solid workers, they bring it on themselves.

 

I mean there's the reality of the situation, and how things work in reality...

 

I use Hit Forker w/PCM. Has always worked the best for me but I do notice lately that it doesn't seem to be catching them as much (Forker) and HITs will show up on Finder before they make it to Forker (if they make it to Forker).

I think MTurk is out of touch with reality. Maybe there's stock in Prolific and they're making out by killing their platform and driving everyone to Prolific. I'm still averaging $200 - $250 a week across the two platforms, and I'm starting to think getting a CR#2 early on was a gift to get me a ahead of the game.

Then again, mTurk was never designed to be a platform for studies and surveys, and was always geared around more batch work. Now that most of the requestors who wanted batch work screwed off once they had no more need of a mechnical turk as their AI datasets got better, all that was left of actual worth was the surveys. And even then, people were very quick to capalizate on that sitution and make an entirely different site that would make it easier to put said stuff on mTurk. Though, now, even that's no longer the case because they have their own platform and are probably working towards abandoning mturk entirely.
