@Metallica used to make tons of of money on Vicky's everyday. Then he spent so much time trying to fix a broken forum, he only made half as much and ended up on the street. Find out what happened on VH1: Behind the Music.

I used to make money from Vickys and now I'm also broke, and I didn't even try to fix anything. She just stopped posting.
I should probably start doing them again. I'm going to need that Walmart money when the twins are here.At least I could do Vickys
To be fair, I feel like only a few people made bank from her, while everyone else did just okay or were just lazy. From what I know, you really had to be in the zone to get those $100 days from her.
I spent a ton of time optimizing my setup for her batches since I could (and still can at times) depend solely on 5s to hit my monthly goal. One of the best things I did when I got that qual some years ago was buying a mouse with multiple side buttons and mapping the script I use to them. Those seconds per hit where you have to use your other hand for the numpad definitely add up in the span of an hour. Before she qualled a bunch of new folks and made the hits a bitch to do, I was averaging $35-40/hr on them no problem. About $25 on the 2 questions. Plus having Masters helps even more.
They just require practice, really. Most batches are pretty easy to do once you're fully familiar with the categories that they use (aside from rare batches where you would have to google every product just to figure out what the hell it was), even when they were still 2 items per HIT. I think a lot of people just don't have the patience to get to that point. I know I struggled for some time, but at some point it just sorta clicked.
It gets rid of captchas.
Be careful not to overdo it with the mouse. I developed a hell of a repetitive strain injury a few years ago from working like that (I used bind everything I could to my mouse with AHK back in the day) and I still have major issues with it to this day. There are often days where I just can't even work because of it.
From what I was told, nobody really used the forum. A lot of people never even got invitations when they got masters. I got one, but I never bothered to check it out.
i imagine it like the official requester forums and/or the CS team in general. A bunch of foreign people speaking very broken english with the occasional native speaker telling them how to fix their hit.
