I can't help but notice that the available number of HITS (posted in yellow at the top of mTurk HITS page) is decreasing at an alarming rate!? I have never seen it this low... I've been a worker now for 3 months and its always stayed near 300,000-400,000 available HITS. What gives?! This makes me very nervous!
I was hoping it's because it's a Sunday.. Let's hope it goes back up and we get some good hits tomorrow :]
Annoying as I'm only $20 off my target But I think quite a few of the worthless 25,000+ HITs have disappeared, so the drop might not be so bad... hopefully pick up again mid-week.
Ah ok that might explain it! Thanks! I was hoping it wasn't from a sudden influx of new workers due to media coverage or something haha... I'm just starting to get the hang of the best HITS!
Did only 3 HITs today got 2.10 pending from it Still money to be made maybe just not worth the time searching though
I think the good stuff tends to get dropped during USA time, during the week (night-time for me), and usually gets eaten up pretty quickly. But what I'm missing, is a large, plentiful, constant supply of HITs I can work on in-between refreshing (such as Redwood transcriptions). Hope something drops soon. If it isn't worth browsing, I usually try to do something else but refresh every 10min or so if I can.
I was thinking the same thing. I am waiting till the weekdays to see what happens with the total HIT count.
No worries about that... as iceblink says that is because of Sunday... no worry about that also there are no requester to post for Sunday... a few will be there...
