If money is what you want then I'm not sure turking is for you.
Lol. Oh, I'm not here because of the money. I'd just like to be a colorblind man in America who is able to take an underpaid survey like the rest of Americans.

I must disagree. I have never done anything where pure moneymaking, without BS, was so much the goal as mturk. I guess the key words are "without BS".
Yes, in all earnestness, w/ mturk you get back what you put into it to a large extent. It can be rather mindbending to start thinking of your time in cents/minute increments, though.

For better or worse I haven't even been using that sort of script, but I find the actual focus on earning money strangely invigorating.

Do a few hundred thousand HITs and you 100% will not need a script to do that calculation

I haven't seen you in a while. Actually you just probably haven't seen me in a while. I don't get on here very often. Yeah, dude was silly. I might have given the wrong impression though. I wasn't steaming or anything. It was just like ... smh.

You're not kidding. To start setting a valuation on your time in terms of x cents/min is rather surreal.

Just broke $100. Now to talk myself into doing those garbage batches for another few hours.
I'd love to crack $100. Came close today. See, I have this thing where I don't so HITs under $1. If I did I might have added $10-$20 to my total. I'm just so stuck on making sure I get a decent rate that it seems like HITs under a buck are never worth it, or rarely worth it.

and if I add HITs under a buck to my HIT finder hopper then it just becomes kind of a mess to dig through. Maybe I should give a shot though, hoping to find a good HIT that I can batch and make some good money. Remember that recommend movie chat from about a month ago? I made $30 off of that in one day and that was before I started using ANY scripts. Once I started using MTS I started getting picky about the HITs I'll do.

I can't get the youtube videos to work. I've accepted this 4 times over the past 2 weeks and have never been able to submit it because the video was "unavailable".

When you say 95% closed quals what do you mean? That the good paying jobs are closed unless you qualified from the beginning? Like those political surveys that are $16?
