I'm nowhere near the top of the rankings largely due to the fact that I don't give a crap about it. The gift card isn't worth the time and energy I'd have to put into constantly updating forecasts.
That's entirely what the hit is about though... your data is useless to them if you don't even try.

They pay extremely well to so it's a slap in the face.

that's funny! I have $6.50 PE now and AMT's "Reward Goals" tracker drops the "0" from the dollar amount listed instead of keeping it at the customary 2-decimal place currency amounts like the MTS-calculated earnings amount. Rewards Goals says $6.5, MTS earnings says $6.50

If you simply did the hit and took the two hours they expect you to take (I do I actually look up a lot of stuff for them), it's eight bucks an hour. Not that great but for mturk ok. But then when you factor in setting up google alerts for each forecast and having to constantly read the articles to update the forecasts, that eight bucks shrinks very, very quickly. For the Yellow Vest forecast alone I've gotten 65 articles in the last two weeks in my inbox. There's no way I've got the time to read all of them and still try to make a good daily on mturk.

I should say I have updated forecasts. I just don't do as much as they'd probably like (which is likely doing it every day on every single one of them). Checking in today I even got a medal :)

Yea that secondary stuff is all optional anyway.
