11/18 - Miserable Monday

Is there an application or a waiting list?

 

Not to mention... @ThisPoorGuy is ALWAYS up for answering questions about hit forker...

jk don't kill me tpg

 

Did you guys see the new mustang?

 

This post should be re-posted as-is in the help section. I've read a lot of breakdowns now on how these pandas work but @jessers this is by far the easiest to understand.

 

Just a minor clarification (b/c it actually makes examples easier in the future). Pandas & Searches are no longer considered the "same thing" on MTurk and so the page request pools are isolated from each other.

At least, if you're doing anything remotely normal. Frankly I'm not sure about like 3ms interval pinging of either endpoint.

If I may provide another example:


Kinda cheating because same convo, but it's popping on my feed since keywords & it's making me giggle. Please leave them alone, I tried, that one is open to hearing but pretty down with their opinion which is cool

 

I started exactly eight months ago and made the same mistake for a longggggg time. Listen to the old dues/ladies, they know what they're talking about. You do not want to run 50 million pandas at a time just to catch, what, one every 10 or 20 minutes?? Just run four to six, let it catch what it can which will usually land you more cash than catching one or two in 30 minutes. What it can't catch in a few minutes, turn off (I delete since I use HC). Do a few in a your queue while restarting Hit Finder/Forker and try to catch the fresh ones that pop up again. I'm sure someone will think that's counterintuitive, but it works for me. I may let the high-dollar hits run continuously but no more than one or two and I save the rest for when it's slow or night time. They usually don't pop up quite as often as low-paying hits anyway. I use PC search feature when the requester posts the survey with a different ID every time which isn't too often thank God.

 

I dunno, man.

Spent my day looking up how to code. Totes took your "you" to heart.

 

There's a Udemy course that @DarkChild absolutely swears by that I forgot the name of.

 

does it look like a honda accord?

 

One other point about pandas - you should be deleting them (or turning them off) throughout the day. Usually a good rule of thumb is to delete them when the timer for the original hit would've expired, e.g. if the hit has a 60 minute timer turn off your panda after an hour because the chance of catching it goes down dramatically

 

I used to know more than I do now. Used some "monkey" website back in the day to learn. Attended classes in San Francisco.

I'd just have to resurrect long unused skills. But. Eh. Not sure I wanna anymore!

I'd rather throw money at people who will do it for me

 

Or donuts. Donuts > Money tbh

 

lol wtf

It's like a hatchback audi had an ugly tesla baby...

 

Something else to consider. Thanks.

 

That's awful!!

 

It's about this (maybe not so well thought out) PSA
