    lol it's fine. Dolan thinks $10 an hour is fair pay (I personally do not) but I do them much much faster than that, so it works out in the end. Every once in a while they get a crazy one with crazy requirements that isn't worth my time so I punt it back,

    And now you all know muh sekrets :flail:

    This line from the policy makes me wary of using scripts like PC but just about everyone uses them? "(3) do not disrupt or impair the operation of the website or the integrity of the marketplace (e.g., scripts and automation tools that call MTurk continuously and at high frequency aren’t OK)"

    You act like I'm the only one. LOOK AROUND THE HUB, we're all doing it, boss. The others just don't say anything to avoid your eye daggers.

    Yeah I figured it had to be something a bit more excessive than what the average turker normally does.

    Yes but you're the one I can make fun of in good faith :emoji_joy::emoji_joy::emoji_joy:

    Besides, I posted tutorials on how to get the qual/do the HITs in the first place - if I was actually serious you'd hear me talk about VRAPI as often as I talk about all the other work I do on mTurk. Also from @Jesicu 's perspective I'm the scab since I dropped hers from like $12/hit down to $8/hit lmao :emoji_joy::emoji_disappointed_relieved:

    At least you got to enjoy it. I got the qual when it was still glory days and it got nerfed 2 weeks after I got it when he made that ridiculous "scrape out all the good ones" thing :emoji_sob:

    I was still there for the parcel bonuses :( :( :(

    @jessers

    I've been debating something for a while now & VRAPI talk has me thinking about it again... I have a theory that the only way to bring them back is to say their name 3 times out loud, because it makes sense they'd finally show back up if we just destroy any hope of them being good again... so:

    By law, I'm required to yell, "STRATOLAUNCH IS BEST SPACE GrinchES!" This is because Matt picked Stratolaunch over SpaceX and I'm now contractually obligated to mock all other space programs lightly.

    That being said, we've checked out SpaceX launches before. They are super cool! I will be watching as always.
