Can't Find GREAT HITS? 08/05 Happy Money Monday

Not seeing anything...

 

More than one of us made that suggestion... but whatever you need to feel like a special snowflake, that's what you should believe.

 

I do not have this qual but I am happy to see it. I've noticed that this happens during other batches and frankly, I'm glad a requester is taking notice of it. Good for them!

 

great, thank for checking, appreciate it I feel better now

Does anybody else turk as a "hobby"?

 

I actually like when I get to contribute so you are very welcome... thank you for allowing me to check for you!

 

Nope, not today.

Projected earnings for today ████████████████████████████████████████ -29.86 $20.14

 

The requester can see returns (think Oscar hard blocks), but I doubt they can see anything skipped as it wasn't ever accepted, only viewed. Nice of them to give a warning instead of removing quals.

 

Just guessing, but maybe looking at what you've submitted and if its 100% chain restaurants, that statistically wouldn't match up with the makeup of their pool (for example only 66% chain restaurants)?

 

You are in the clear. They are talking about a different tactic that goes like this: You hit the skip button frequently and only accept about 1 or 2 out of 10 hits that match a certain criteria. It isn't very useful to do more than 2 or 3 at a time as Mturk itself has a built-in protection against this. Mainly people who do this will have to page through 10 hits to find one they have never seen after a several minutes of this. It is only useful when the hit is being eliminated fast so mturk can't throw the same hits at you over and over.

The only time I've done this is with one of ProductRnR search relevance because I can't compare faces with any accuracy and had to find HITS where I didn't have to be able to recognize people if I was going to do that hit.

 

I just came here to get my money for Netflix when suddenly...

 

sounds great on paper and just the fact they emailed about it shows they give a sh-t which is nice. Honestly I doubt they can do much about it. Skipping doe snot leave any trace as far as I know. returning obviously does. The ones they will catch are the hoarders who work out of their accepted queue rather then accepting one by one. They will simple shop 1 by one and use skip until the batch is low then proceed to hoard and only return 1 or 2 lol.

 

I don't see it as a job, so I guess yes :/

 

You know what hasn't been posted in here in awhile?

...hits. Put your ding dongs away and spoon feed ussss!

 

Who is nuff?

 

I turk for beer money exclusively. It funds my hobby so I'll call turking a hobby too. I could buy the craft beer I do now if I didn't turk but I'd care much more about how much I spend.

 

A hobby? Not exactly. I do turk, take my earnings out as Amazon gift cards, and when I have enough I use it to buy something I've been wanting from Amazon. Wouldn't call it a hobby by any means, but I don't really do it as a source of income to help live on.
