05/29 - Tinted Tuesday!

Drop batch at lowest possible price point they can
Let it sit for a few days, workers will submit things
After a few days, just assume all the easy ones are gone, pull the batch, raise the price a quarter repost

Rinse & repeat.

They could sort them, or categorize them, and adjust pay by something other than the # of days the listing has existed... but that's the kind of common sense thinking that takes "effort" & no point exerting that when they can not pay you to do it for them for free.

 

RIP that mental image @EssArrBee there better have been a tpb beside you

 

Ouch. Now that I have the qual I don't see myself doing any lol

 

Sadly, I got booted from the study after the demo.

Filthy turkerses stay away from my ski condoses

 

The key is to learn how they should be sorted/categorized. Once you know that, you know what you should/should not accept, and then you can make $ on the batches.

Everyone and their blind momma knows if the listing has a picture of the street address it can be submitted.. but there are 50 other parameters (some 5x easier than matching pictures) that make a HIT an easy 30 second submit. If VRAPI actually got off their asses & categorized the HITs based on them it'd be good for the average Joe, not so much for the folks who have taken the time to learn.

So, learn & profit. They're fun puzzles, I'm just being a tongue-in-cheek dick about their business lol
