I've never been a fan of c-sats. I'm not squeamish, I just find them boring and not great for the pay.
So I did a hit and it auto-submitted when I was entering my age for some reason. I emailed the requester to see if I could get a special hit to do or if she could send me the link to the survey so I could finish it. She just emailed me back and said she approved the hit. Free money! I love a good guy/gal requester.
Mturk workers might be better than you think: "... AMT makes it easy to ask many people for judgments, so for several tasks, we looked at accuracy rates for how well the averaged Turker judgments correlate to the expert gold standard. With more judgments per example, accuracy increases. For comparison, on each graph the horizontal dotted line indicates the rate at which a single expert agrees with their gold standard. Enough non-experts can match or often beat experts’ reliability." Source: https://www.crowdflower.com/amt-fast-cheap-good-machine-learning/

This is similar to the "Wisdom of Crowds" thing, and it's a good chunk of the reason that mturk even exists. The idea is that all of us, collectively, are smarter than one of us.
The instructions are pretty specific with what they want, but you have to click to see them. Maybe they just started working without looking at them.
Strange. Working from queue and submitted a hit and then the same hit appeared again (as if I hadn't submitted it the first time). Happen to anyone else? edit: Maybe I accidentally auto refreshed with my programmable mouse.
Given how easily the masses are fooled over and over again I find this hard to believe. Contrary to popular opinion our founding fathers didn't want a straight up democracy because they felt people aren't smart enough to vote in their own (or everyone's) best interest. This is why we are a Repubilic and of course it hardly matters since public opinion is manipulated all the time by the people who have the money and power which is how and why we ended up with Trump and Clinton for choices this election.
