re: "swindling workers" "defending requesters" "selling your life for ten cents a minute"

Someone does not sound happy.

And I'm confused at the anger, aiming at me, when I'm here sharing what work for me, and asking for more information from fellow workers.

I asked a specific question, and offered specifics about what I, and many others, worked. I aimed no personal attacks at you, and did not insult you.

It makes this place pretty unwelcoming.

Everyone makes different choices on mturk - and finds different things that work for them. You should feel free to share .

How much one should work for (hourly rate of pay) is always a sensitive issue and has come up more times than I can count - it's really best handled on another thread (which I'd be happy to make, should there be interest .

Or - better yet - participate when we have discussions on the Dynamo page (where it can really be productive

nope... They had one fat batch i believe it was Hindu or maybe something else that sat there until it expired.

Everytime I do a search for biggest batches, they're smack dab at the top, and I lust for them...

One of the last big batches paid $25 for 2 hours work before capping... loved it.

Thanks for responding.

I had no judgments on what others should earn or work, and was sharing my experience and asking a specific question, before the response so.. Maybe those concerned about it, can take it to that thread.

i still might do it, TO is too good not to try

 

[sryan66611]

its all good I think there are many turkers that get in that mindless work stuff all the time and would do that for a bit less than their normal wage instead of doing the taxing stuff for more. I myself do it as well as the everyday batches get old sometimes .
