Bamboozled exactly. There is a lot of bamboozling going on and it really only makes sense. Typically when there is money to be made, no matter the industry, there is always bamboozling going on all for the love of that green piece of paper. I think it happens a lot more than you think or are willing to admit. I myself have seen it several times just from personal experience.
People being selfish and misleading isn't exclusive to turking.
Well, one off the top of my head is the McDermott experiment. Now, that is a bad example because it is a .25 hit that takes roughly a half hour. So there is a good chance that was partially rated badly because of those workers who have not even attempted it and see that it is paying only 25 cents, yet takes about a half hour to finish. Even though it pays its lump some in bonus.
I understand that, which is why what I'm saying shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. There is always going to be corruption around sources of making money.
How is that an example of someone giving a low review to throw others off of a good batch?
The best thing to do with unfamiliar batches is to read the reviews and try out a few of the batch if they aren't reporting rejections. By doing at least a handful, you can gauge your hourly and see if this is a HIT you can make a decently hourly on.
You can add the bonus into TV manually when leaving the review and then it does calculate that into the hourly. It's also a good way to keep track of your bonuses (or cry when you see how many actually don't pay out).
People are lazy and don't do that though.
Welcome back! Leaving reviews on TO and TV are probably the best route to take to alert people of poor requesters. New and familiar requesters often come to these forums so we wouldn't want to promote a negative atmosphere for them. I certainly understand the frustration though!
Well the method obviously doesn't just get used for batches, but also surveys. It maybe a good rated hit now, but I have seen McDermott rated RED on my HF. And it was all day yesterday for me. The only reason I did it was because I saw people in the forums here posting their bonus amounts which were typically $10+ range. I would have never done it otherwise because as I said, it was RED. It claimed "up to so much in bonus" but was still rated RED. I assumed it was a requester who didn't pay well even in the bonus. I did the hit and it took me 30 minute or less and I made $13 + on it. I then thought "This must be another one of those wrongfully rated hits"
The timer starts for the TV hourly when you have the HIT open. There is an option in the upper right hand corner to pause the hourly if you like to keep track.
I know man, but that just makes so much more work for a Turker. But I guess that Is the only option I am limited to unfortunately as a worker to watch out for my butt.
It starts counting when you open the HIT/have it active. So not if it's sitting in your queue. If you have the turkerview script installed it's the thing that looks like this:
I thought there was a way to pause the timer in TV. I know you can change the time after the fact in your review.
