    youtube keeps showing me an ad for a video called "How to make money online". I will watch it and let you guys know how it goes. I doubt that's possible though.

    The amount of jobs doesn't change the PREs that you would get.

    Maybe my net is being slow, I have been slow ticking off jobs to see if that would work. I am now trying with the search time changes to 1402ms see if that helps at all.

    Mturk has been kind of up and down on pres/catpchas since the changeover but especially over the past two weeks. Last week I had a day with two marathon sessions of over 100 captchas in a row, and then yesterday I had a batch that I did ~400 in a row with no captchas followed by 20 in a row, and none yet today.

    I've also had some hours with pres at 3 seconds a page load and some hours at 1000/900 HF/PC while doing CIs as fast as I can with 0 pres.

    Yeah, I'm not sure what exactly the new criteria is, and I'm not convinced mturk is either. It seems like there's a hidden captcha cooldown, if you're doing hits slowly enough then you're much less likely to get a captcha, but also maybe it's a value cooldown? If I'm working on a penny to nickle batch then I get captcha'd every 35, but if I'm working on a dime+ batch sometimes I'll get 100, 200, or more, followed by a bunch of catchup captchas. Or maybe not.

    Overall I'd guess it's mostly better now than before for most people, but you can run into a weird edge case that can make you grind your gears for half an hour.
