    Yeah, there's 50 pictures, it's a bit much. I posted it before I had done them... Sorry.

    Just tried one of these and I didnt keep track but you had to judge 40-50 images for .05. No thanks and I sent them a note about just how terrible it was. They put up some decent hits but that one is ridiculous.

    I'm about five blocks away near Geary. Usually when there's a big concert in the park I can tell there's music playing but I can't make it out and it's just annoying. But Outside Lands puts their main stage in a different spot and uses more speakers and, most important of all, I knew most of the songs that were being played. This is the first time it's been fun to be able to hear music from the park in my place.

    Is anyone doing these? I saw them posted earlier, but I did one, left the next one alone for like 2 hours and the numbers haven't moved at all...

    Just wondering if there's a reason that no one seems to be doing them since the TO looks spotless...

    Definitely some good deals on that site sometimes. Bought some shoes from there a while ago when they were first starting out. Got a good 40% discount on some nice shoes.

    It took me about 3 1/2 minutes. It was the same sentence, so I just got into a rhythm. But yes, so not worth a nickel.

    It's not worth the pay. Did a few to see if it got easier but no dice.

    Research Tasks is a prime example of how a requester pushes turkers to the limit. They started out at $1, and over time the HITs have more work and next to nothing in pay. Their next batch will probably be .02. It's not that they don't have the money to pay appropriately. But why pay $1 when there are people who will do more work for you for .05. I didn't mind doing their little clip art hits when they knocked them all the way to .10. They took about the same amount of time as a RNR without scripts. But that new hit...

    I didn't get any tags, I've never done them before so I don't know if it's a user error or not :p

    It's probably for the best. 7 of my rejections are from them. It was for the name the porno HITs and their reasoning was that my titles weren't nasty enough.

    Welp, I left them TO, not that it matters to them I'm sure... but c'est la vie. They can go live with Oscar and the various Crowd people on my block list :p

    No need to be sorry, HITS are always appreciated!

    I was just surprised at how much work they expected for such minuscule pay

    That HIT was almost worse than Oscars >.>.......almost.
