02/23 - Twenty Three Tuesday

Just curious how many times a day/week do you link a TV profile?

 

Not often.

 

BTW, Shinee's Back.

 

Booo.

Lol it's legitimately fantastic if you do, I was just curious because especially lately I'm getting a boatload of profile claim requests and was just curious if you were the advertising agency I didn't know I had

 

I'll keep that in mind!

 

Did you see his HITs? A masters with 90% approval? Am I reading that right?

• Age - 55 or Older EqualTo 0,
• Masters Exists
• HIT approval rate (%) > 90,
• Total approved HITs > 50,
• Location EqualTo US,

 

I think it is greater than 90% and greater than 50..

 

You better give him a raise to @ThisPoorGuy levels of per hour pay okay?

@Kirk Staley if you want a fun factoid about MTurk (you probably already know but just in case) if you ever see this you can let the requester know this means their quals are completely meaningless. MTurk requires a total approved HITs >100 in order to actually enforce the approval rate % qualification

Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMech...ticle.html#ApiReference_QualificationType-IDs



The quals still apply to people > 100 approved HITs but it generally introduces a ton of variability since it doesn't filter ANY new workers whatsoever.

 

Honestly joining MTurk this late into it's life cycle kind of worries me, reading previous posts and current complaints makes me feel that the platform is already beginning to stagnate and is falling behind even the federal minimum wage, not to mention the requesters lately have been cheapening out on their HITs. If only I was brave enough to try MTurk years ago....

 

I believe a master has to maintain a 99% rating.
This guy might not understand and he's excluding a lot of workers looking for "good data".

Man that's a lot of p9rs to hit that 100.

 

The problem is the large horde of daily fraudulent accounts exists in that 0-1000 approved HITs range before being nuked :/
