By "less than it's worth," I mean much less than you could expect to hire someone to do the work for you in a more traditional manner.

The selling points of crowdsourcing are:

1. It's fast
2. It's cheap

This comes with a major downside of having to deal with serious quality control issues. If you were planning to start a project via crowdsourcing, the benefits would have to outweigh that -- and so you see even would-be decent requesters pushing the limits on how low they can pay while still getting the work done on time.

Unfortunately people are desperate enough to reward those using this strategy.
but it's a slow day, so it doesn't count if I do those hits right?

But the whole point is it's not worth hiring someone to do it in a more traditional manner, because of a lack of volume or a lack of longevity, so that's not a reasonable comparison for determining pay. The pay is determined by how much value you're providing them, and some of the stuff we're doing simply isn't that valuable.

Don't confuse pumps with wedges (not saying you are).

Just a heads up :)
I'm good with that, but I'm not sure about the ones that are like boots, but also platform pumps. I've been skipping those. :-/

Believe it or not, I have only done a few A9s quite a while ago. I just did one and did not remember that I was supposed to draw a bounding box, so I did not. Of course, a shoe was not in the comparison photo, so what do you do then? Will that be a rejection?

If the item they are looking for isn't there, and you marked no, you should be fine.

If it had the item they were looking for, I don't think it would let you go on without drawing the box. THINK, is the keyword, can anyone else chime in here?
