I've never understood who it's supposed to be benefiting. It's definitely not the workers and I don't think it's the requesters, so is it to to reduce page loads for Amazon?
Yet Amazon is behind AWS, arguably the most popular and powerful cloud computing platform out there.... they aren't hurting when it comes to server capacity/density/load/whatever. I'm sure they have their reasons, but that doesn't mean they're any good.

My Facebook lagged earlier.
Only thing I had lag for me since I didn't get the qual.

See, I've always thought the same. If anyone in the world has the server infrastructure for this, it's them, yet we still get page request errors and throttling. It's like they set these rules when mturk started and never updated them (though I know throttling is a more recent thing).

My expert analysis™ tells me that they're willing to acknowledge AMT's existence, but they aren't making the kind of money on Turk that they are with AWS, so they keep most of their instances there.

Gotta say, after all the shit flinging that happened today, this 5's batch has lasted about as long as usual. Just a lot more lag and throttling.

hey guys,

I like to do the foxtrot fixing grammar/copy editing HITs. The only issue is that they are all different pay amounts based on length (I'm assuming). Is there a way to put a PANDA in panda crazy for any of his hits no matter the value? Thanks
