    Who knows... I have had requesters recently insist non English speaking people have been scamming them and then proceed to make me take lots of basic English questions at the end of their surveys to prove I am an English speaker.

    I'm about the same. It's a bit quicker with the script for sure, but only by a bit for me. And the script doesn't work on the international ones.

    The only thing that has affected my choices more is the change that Joe made himself, where you make a selection and can't change it anymore. I used to reconsider some and switch.

    I also stopped working for the whole week, but just because of this issue. If Jlo and PickFu thinks I am a bot, I can give a break or change the way I turk. No one is innocent.

    Come on, Joe - put a captcha or an attention check in there before you just assume the worst about everybody and reject 100s of HITs from dozens of workers who've given you a lot of good data over the years.

    The question is if this gets big enough will Amazon do something about it to quell the requesters fears?

    All this bot scare was due to one Reddit post?

    Amazon doesn't care as long as they get paid. I have heard of people suspected of being bots having their accounts disabled, though.

    That article's been written over a dozen times now, people don't actually care as long as the work gets done(in a reasonable manner).
