[Comment deleted for whining about a specific requester, whereas the more general topic was about performance bonuses (as others have noted in the comments below). That topic has doubtless been discussed to death, so I'm sure my comment didn't bring anything new.]

 

yep there are several reqs that do hits this way and its BS. If you spend that much time working a terrible hit, you should be guaranteed a fair wage for your effort & time

I see you weren't around the forum during any of the crypto pumps / GME shenanigans

 

I don't know if I'd really classify Turking as working.. more like indentured servitude or digital slavery
I do understand the sentiment about performance based bonuses though. Personally, I'm fine with them. If the base pay is shite and it doesn't appear that you'll make up the hourly with the bonus.. best to skip it. No different than gambling on some of those surveys.. ya never know if the hourly is gonna be right.

Ahh yes.. the good times.
