    What is this?

    I am Tjbot! I'm a solution devised by the genious mods to prevent there ever being a day that hit threads aren't posted! The whole point of my existence is to post a hit thread if one doesn't exist by 12:08am PST. If you see this post, assume that this one is the main post. One of the mod team will clean up existing posts and consolidate once they wake up and get online. As my name indicates, I am a bot. I don't post, nor do I respond to PM's. If you have any problems, send an email to tjbot@ns4t.net or PM Tjololo, he can help out with any issues.

    Morning everyone.

    Perhaps its just me but it seems that the availability of quality work is going down significantly. Anybody else seeing this? I am probably making about 1/2 as much per week as I was last year at the same time.

    :morning: jimmyjames

    Yeah there's less work than it used to be. I see only under 300K HITs available now. Colleges started and things didn't pick up that much. We need more requesters!

    Good morning.

    @jimmyjames - Yeah it seems that way to me as well. Several requesters that were awesome have left and gone to other more inexpensive and reliable platforms for the time being. That being said though, Amazon continues to grow and with it's growth mturk becomes more widely known. There's a future upside and a definite, more noticeable and real time downside to that. I think if at some point they update the website and advertise to employers eventually we will see a more stable mturk. Considering they haven't done much in the 12 years mturk has existed I wouldn't hold my breath though. You can only hope and wait for something to change or in the meantime find other platforms that you find in line with your abilities.

    P.S.- I still grind my way to my minimum goal of $30 everyday. It's not the turkocalypse yet

    Lucky! Just lost power for about 12 hours. Everyone I know came out ok with loss of power except for Paleface. Still haven't heard from her. She's located south of Miami.

    Here's a tip for you non-masters who filled out some of the demographic HITs amazon put up. Want to see the HITs available for your hard work? Click on both "for which you are qualified for" as well as "require Masters qualification" and you'll see them. For some reason Amazon lumps those quals in with Masters quals. So yes for Masters they are there too but there's no way to seperate them from the Masters quals.

    Did you know that it's illegal to go off grid in Florida? You have to have power and water from companies and FPL is lobbying for harder stricter anti-solar power laws (one of which passed 2 days ago). I find it ironic that in the sunshine state they are making sunshine illegal!

    Interesting article. The woman was doing fine living off the grid until she gave an interview about it then trouble started. Should never have given an interview!

    Yeah this summer was pathetic even for summer. This September has been the worst I remember. I'm sure the hurricanes didn't help but I still think it would have been bad. I'll give Turk til the end of the year before I think about alternative means of supporting my incredibly pathetic lifestlyle.
