I really don't like it when a survey asks "How many academic studies have you done on Amazon Mturk?"

Like, I have no fucking idea. Truly. I don't even have a reasonable guess. How do they expect us to KNOW this? Am I missing something?

I usually just put 500 - I think it gets asked by requesters that don't really know about 'serious' turkers so I just give them a reasonably large but not worryingly large number

I think they really don't know that we aren't shown metrics on that on our dashboard.

Hello Throttling, my old friend.

Hello Throttling, my old friend.

I sense throttling isn't really a friend of yours

Hello Throttling, my old friend.

Seriously!

I caught this but the link to the survey appears to be broken.

Seriously!

Um, I thought you weren't working today. Were you lying so I would stop jabbering at you?

Crap, a batch made me miss out on a cheap Switch. I was eager to Smash, too.

just did a survey and put 500 as well.... get out of my head haha

 

[cassius]

no, the pennies should stay in the story, as by that time they will be a thing of the past, and people will be able to pay for things just by thinking about paying for them.

I'm going to start using that number. I can give them how many hits total I've done, but a massive majority of that is from batches.

I think I might have just scared a requester with the number I put in. It was more than 500, lol.

My definition of "I'm not working today" has become "I'll only do 5s if they post." It's a sad story, I know.

You've finally completed your transformation into me. My condolences.
