That might be part of the problem there. Weren't you supposed to say whether the location was the setting or something? I only did a couple and found that often they were simply referring to the location but it wasn't the actual setting.
Yeah, that's what I mean. Most of the passages were NOT set in the place that was named in the HIT. And also, I'm pretty sure I missed a few bubbles as well. They should set those up so that you can't submit unless two are chosen.
Some of the cases were passages where it actually didn't take place in the location. If people were just assuming that the bolded name meant it was there, that wasn't right, every passage had an instance of the name, that's how they were put together as a job, they probably just grabbed pages from books by using the search terms of the place. Admittedly it was incredibly subjective, so I don't think any single HIT had a "right" answer.
I'm inclined to think rejections had more to do with people missing a bubble, yeah. Pretty dumb how they had it setup to allow submitting even if you hadn't clicked both options, or of course the usual enter key shenanigans. Especially since the feedback of whether a bubble had been selected wasn't super obvious.
there was a calculator tool for hits rejected/approved and estimates/etc that was posted a few nights ago on a website, anyone remember the link? You could plug in numbers and it did the calculations for you...
Rofl, watching this movie, and there was this scene I immediately paused and went, "I need to harvest this into a gif." Figured what the hey, I'll google it, no way random foreign film has been meme-ized already, but... Noperino. Internet saves the day once again. Saving this for bad requesters.
People say that its subjective but I really don't see how it is. For location either something takes place in a location or it doesn't, there might have been some ambiguity like the story taking place in multiple areas but not really subjective. The emotions in some very rare instances were subjective but the vast majority were cases either where the emotion wasn't mentioned or where words like trembled in fear were used and those do have objective answers if a person was trembling with fear than fear was clearly mentioned in the passage.

A lot of these books are old british murderporn mansion literature that likes to recount events a lot, so there's a lot of "I'm telling you about something that happened a while ago". Taken out of context with a single page, it's sometimes hard to tell whether or not the events are actually taking place in the location. I'd say this is ambiguous maybe... 20% of the time? And then the emotion "fear" in a passage is HUGELY ambiguous, I can't see how you'd argue that point. The only reason the batch existed at all was clearly because they need human minds to try and subjectively figure out (by majority rules) whether a passage has the sentiment. If people take it in a purely literal way, where they say it only has fear if they hit CTRL-S, type in "fear", and get a result, sure. Not ambiguous. But I don't think that was the intention of the requester. If they just wanted to have someone CTRL-S for fear, fuck, a computer can do that. They wanted people, because people can have an opinion of whether or not "And then we watched this guy die and there was sinister stuff going on" involves the emotion of fear, or just bad stuff happening.
Anybody else go HAM on those Peter Hsieh Facebook/Twitter HITs all night? I did around 670 of them, and still have another 25 banked to do, giving myself a well earned break right now lol $100 pending on those and they seem like they're a pretty great bet to all approve, just will have to wait for the 7 day AA The last two days have had a lot of great batches, been really great days to Turk.
IN CASE it hasn't been posted Product RnR's .07 a hit https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=3TSPVXK7YOAJBYLMVL7AKYZ351ELFK
I really liked the twitter ones earlier! the .11 ones Unfortunately I missed the bulk of the batch (was gone from 12 -4 easter time), but they were really easy.
