Good to know. I figured almost everybody here had it. I do alright without masters (about 30,40 a day usually) but it sure would be nice to have it so I could slack off some.
Title: Very short academic survey (around 1-2 minute) | PANDA Requester: Eugina [A1NX645QM9YKO9] (TO) TO Ratings: ★★★★★ 3.67 Communicativity ★★★★★ 4.37 Generosity ★★★★★ 4.56 Fairness ★★★★★ 4.84 Promptness Number of Reviews: 32 | TOS Flags: 0 Submit a new TO review Description: Answer a few questions Time: 15 minutes HITs Available: 1 Reward: $0.15 Qualifications: Total approved HITs is not less than 50;HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 95;Location is US See, there is hope fellow non-masters. Under a minute. Edit: Never mind. It is gone already.
The biggest problem I have with masters HITs, especially surveys, is that while you get a flurry of good stuff all at first, pretty soon you run out. Requesters are re-posting old HITs that have been offered for years. They're old friends--I've been looking at them for years. After a while you don't even need to read the titles. You know them by heart. Why do you think that there's such a snarling dog fight over any new HITs that come up. Stay around long enough and you'll find that the wears all look shop worn.
I was going by the people that were fairly regular posters when I was thinking of the 80-90% range and that really wasn't until after the 2014 & 2015 December Amazon Mastersgasms as both those dumps ended up giving a lot of people Masters who'd been turking for several years without it. Now that this place is like a ghost town it's probably back to about 50/50 maybe even more non-masters than masters.
The PandAs are playing games. I just had a PandA ring for a HIT that wasn't there and wasn't turned on. I think that they are teasing me again. Like waking me up in the middle of the night , ringing bells, but catching nothing.
My guess is the 25 cents added to the $17.75 is the $18 for the HIT and a separate bonus for the correct answers will come later (hopefully) but at least you got the $18 I snagged the hit on Sunday and probably one of the last ones so maybe I'll get paid sometime this weekend (fingers crossed).
I know. TM still looks for HITS that you've turned off. And TurkAlert still informs me of ones I removed from the Watchlist. Welcome to the web.
Doesn't any job have periods of boredom and repetition? And you learn to go through those as fast as you can. Maybe the only one that's always challenging is mountain climbing.
Just added HINL to my block list. Started thinking about the total amount of time wasted being told I was ineligible since I last was permitted to do one of their surveys. Even if it allowed me to do one of their 50 cent surveys tomorrow and it took only 10 seconds my overall hourly would be abysmal. If you're gonna post THAT often, use quals already.
I've been using panda crazy instead of TM for the past couple of weeks, and holy crap is it annoying. Solid, but annoying.

Sort of a replacement for Turkmaster, I think. I have been meaning to check it out. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/19168-jr-mturk-panda-crazy
I like that review. Do you like it better than tm? I haven't really had any issues with tm yet but I've only been using it a couple months.
