question of the day for those not in the know is what the blank is this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/mturk/comments/98j1d6/turkerhub_has_a_secret_script_members_pay_for/

I got a laugh from that. I suspect some workers have thought of different ways of improving or customizing scraping, and just keep those scripts to themselves. A decent JS/jquery programmer can make all kinds of clever scripts, but that doesn't overcome the number of competing working trying to grab those HITs or speed limits querying the site (without risking an account ban). Even I could write a script like the one described in that link. It's not magic.

I got an email from survey comet about a hit I qualify for. I've never done a survey comet hit.

Haven't you noticed a lot of regulars from this forum don't post anymore? Maybe they all jumped ship and got the *secret script*

Does anyone here use the script? I have a TH account with 0 posts, maybe I should give it more attention

I'm thinking that if I pair the eggs with fakin' bacon - that's not quite what you're looking for

There are many reasons and this is only one....well part of one.
Many have left for TH in general. Not just for a secret script.

Many also left to have secret chat groups on various platforms.
Where you could discuss good batches without them being wrecked/scammed.

Many haven't really needed Mturk that much for a good part of this year because there is a secret platform also.

And of course there is always a high turnover in this community (people leaving for "real" jobs and such).

MTC is dying for many reasons. Not just one.
