YUSSSSS. I don't think I want to type the word "person" again for at least a week after this is all over.
I'm in too - although sometimes they don't match up well. You can't use the action cooking and have it make sense for the room: Stairs. Makes my brain hurt. I've tried to make some of these videos and they are just impossible to do with the room they are in.
It's not my cup of tea, but if anybody else is interested, some VICE journalist is looking to interview turkers: https://www.reddit.com/r/mturk/comments/440z4h/journalist_looking_to_talk_to_turkers/ Edit: Nevermind, it looks like she tossed an article together in a day.
Too tired to investigate, but it looks like they already posted a story? which seems like really quick turnaround, which given the discussion on that thread seemed iffy as to the purpose of the story, which seems like good clickbait or a quick story to churn out. https://www.reddit.com/r/mturk/comments/440z4h/journalist_looking_to_talk_to_turkers/cznw68y Thanks for posting though, always interesting to read outside opinions on the platform. Probably the appropriate length read for my first cup of coffee.
I only skimmed the article, but it looks like a combination of "they're so underpaid!" Dynamo type shit, and "they provide shitty data!" One thing that caught my eye was this: That kind of misrepresents what goes on in the forums. I've seen people get into fights because one person thought that the other posted something that compromised the data. We're pretty good at self-policing ourselves. Hell, I don't know what MTG, MTC, and TN are up to right now; but half the time, it's a small miracle if we're even talking about turk.

Well that's a pleasant image. Review: You will have a more gentle experience if you sit in a staph infected chair and perform your sinus surgery on yourself with a rusty coat hanger.
They do make me laugh more then I should. Just had one that said "I won't go into detail" followed by at least 20 lines of text.
