I noticed more than 5 different "Real Player" hits from Crowdflower that pay 1.50 each, and of course when you click them they come up with the "can't find this url" error message, I was wondering if anyone has actually done one of these this week? Nearly every Crowdflower hit I've come across today seems like a dead end or a violation of MTurk terms. I wish there were ways to eliminate them from the search results! There are so many of them, and very few of them seem legit.
I haven't tried them...$1.50 to "just" download something? Sounded too good to be true, so skipped it.
I learned that if they ask you to download anything, don't do it. I got mad about those ones the other day that wanted you to take a picture of your child with your webcam. WTF?
CrowdFlower aka CrapFlower is worse than Oscar. At least Oscar doesn't try to weasel free work out of people.
Isn't it funny? When I started on Mturk in october, I thought they were a big, credible requester because they were all over the place, but almost every hit I've seen from them is scammy in some way.
