09/06 - Bon Voyage Vanyanka Tuesday

[Squatty]

I remember them paying pretty well when they first started. How bad of a cut was it. I just started turking seriously again about three months ago.

I liked them when they were 1.25 for everything. It was like a gamble. You could get lucky and end up with a 4 minute video or be SOL and get a ten minute video. But the average seemed to be much better than it is now.

I haven't done the NoblisCV moderation videos but I can see from their time they modeled their structure off of C-SATs or vice versa. They're awfully similar.

Noblis involve luck as well. If it is an easy video where the person is in the frame the whole time or not in the video at all, they are awesome. If the person is in and out of the frame, they aren't worth it,

I'm trying to remember, I can't really quantify it. I don't have my HitDB from that time currently accessible, and even if I did, the time to pay ratio was fairly variable. The pay cut is probably the least of the problems. I'd like to know why they moved away from the system with users having some specific quals. Maybe they weren't getting enough people doing them?

I definitely agree with someone else about the 45 minute timer. That needed significant improvement. I suggested it to them on multiple occasions, and got no response. Too many requesters I think do not understand how workers utilize the system, and that being able to queue HITs so there's not a mad time scramble is an important aspect of that. While I never did multiple of them at the same time, I can see how people would be tempted to do so if they queued enough to have that be a problem. More than once back when they were still decent I'd simply have to shut the PANDA off once I got enough of them to fill the 45 minute window, and then hope nothing else from my TM would pick up during that window.

While we're on the topic of pay cuts, here's one: what's the most shameful HIT you've ever done, pay-wise? For me, it was the Oscars when they were around. I've had a few rough surveys too. 20 minutes for a quarter.

 

[Vanyanka]

Arg.

That was me that mentioned the timer. And I agree, if they want people to do a lot of their HITs, don't set up a timer that only allows for 4 of the $1+ HITs to be completed.

I try not to let it get that bad. I remember one survey that was $1 or $2 and I was 30 minutes into and I emailed the requester and returned it.
