This thread is a placeholder! What is this? Spoiler I am Tjbot! I'm a solution devised by the genious mods to prevent there ever being a day that hit threads aren't posted! The whole point of my existence is to post a hit thread if one doesn't exist by 12:08am PST. If you see this post, assume that this one is the main post. One of the mod team will clean up existing posts and consolidate once they wake up and get online. As my name indicates, I am a bot. I don't post, nor do I respond to PM's. If you have any problems, send an email to tjbot@ns4t.net or PM Tjololo, he can help out with any issues. Want to make tomorrow's thread? Just go for it!

This from NY Times https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/15/nyregion/amazon-mechanical-turk.html?
^ This made me laugh seeing this in print. "Turkers spend their time fighting requesters over an unfair 10-cent rejection or a missing 60-cent payment."
Oh my gosh, they have hits!!! awesome! Only 4 percent of turkers, the researchers found, made more than the federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour.
Omg, never occurred to me they would do this: “I’ve known a requester to be open about the fact that they automatically reject 10 percent of jobs to pay for Amazon fees"
This article is written (or at least pushed) by someone we all know and love...it defiantly has a bias to it. I'd take it with a grain of salt.
Remember I posted this yesterday? Turns out in Twitter, the requester posted there complaining about the bots, hence the low approval rating. "My student and I used @amazonmturk to collect data on @Snapchat use, and 200+ bots figured out the screening criteria and completed the survey. So glad we included open-ended questions to catch them. From now on, I will always include open-ended questions. Here is a sample response from a bot to the question, "can you say a bit more about how you use Snapchat to follow the news or current events?" Bot: "Users can stay up-to-date on breaking news, sports, entertainment, and more. How do you add a person or channel to your Snapchat? ...you take a picture of the snapcode with your phone and then open your Snapchat...." https://twitter.com/laurencopeland0/status/1194631202684063744
It's a catch 22 for her now. No legit worker is going to want to work on their HITs when they're at 12% approval rating
