honestly for me, I feel the opposite of what a lot of the other masters are saying. Maybe its because I don't turk as much as I used to, but i feel like masters batches have been WAY better than regular batches for like the past 6 months.



but all in all, I think the best way to get quality work is to go with workers who have over 10,000 hits and a 95% approval rating.

Way to often does a survey assume the worker is white vs putting in a screener or something. "How does this make you feel as a white American?" Me:...wait, what?

I was asked how I felt as a single woman without kids once.

I feel a little bit confused.

Masters sucks because even if it did work the way Amazon says it does, AMAZON ends up getting paid more because you are a good worker, potentially at a loss to the worker's payment -- to cover the fee.

In reality it's more of a way for Amazon to say "these workers probably won't scam you."

I'd be interested in a study that tests how many times a requester gets scammed and if the scamming worker had masters.

@DareAngel3 used to try and tell me good hits were up, and she wasn't paying attention to masters/non masters

they were almost always exclusively masters hits.

sigh. she stopped lol

That is privileged information for non-usertest addicts.

we asked masters and non-masters all to count to 7, and we were amazed that the results were similar.

Why, even I can count to 7 (I truly hate math).. More than 10 though and I have to take off my shoes and socks.......

I don't hate everything, but I do think sites like Twitter and Facebook are awful.

addict? just because when I'm at the beach with friends, and get a user test on my phone, and leave to go into my hot car and do the user test and almost die from heat exhaustion doesn't make me an addict.


yer an addict

It's kinda hard to notice when you have masters. I've had people complain that I was only posting masters HITs and I just didn't even realize.

I've been making my own tools lately. It's really fun and rewarding.
