    Hi fellow Turkers,

    I sincerely think that Dolores Low-paying..oopps I meant to say Dolores Lab is ridiculous. They are making a killing off OUR work and they are paying way to low. I mean come on now. They require you to perform open heart surgery (lol) and then they want to give you 0.04 cents to complete in in 60mins. Oh don't forget that you have to complete 4-5 of them for 0.04 I mean really? Really Dolores Lab. Oh.. let's not forget that all inquires fall on deaf ears. I mean do they ever respond to people? NOPE. They could care less. So this thread is a new day and I want us Turkers to join and reunite to STOP doing ALL Dolores Labs jobs until they start appreciating OUR work by paying us more money. What do you say, are you guys in or what? The answer is should be YES. Let's come together and STOP doing their hits until they pay more money. I want all Turkers to STOP working on Dolores Labs hits........

    ---This is for the frustrated people who are tired of pennies for massive work by Dolores Labs

    Of-course... They are paying very less. Some times their pay is good. If you take "are the products are same?" is better payment we can earn $3 per hour. I made on this hit $ 80 in three days. Other task I will ignore.

    Dolores labs is pure evil :). Here have 4 cents for a task that will take 10 minutes what a good deal. I could make more a a sweat shop. I have learned to ignore dolores labs tasks when I see them on the list.

    Dolores Labs does suck...

    I don't know, I've found very few hits from them worth doing...usually I'm faster than time estimates from other requestors, but on delores, I find I'm way slower...

    I agree that Delores Labs is the worst paying company with a policy of taking a long time to pay AND jamming what should be multiple hits all into one hit ( ie.. tag these items for .04 cents). They also consistently lie about what is involved in a hit. For instance they have a hit that says "say yes or no for a question and answer pairs" for .05 cents but when you open the hit you find there are 7 passages to read, each with 2 links to click to find out if the content is correct and also if it is plagiarized. Then you have to decide which out of 6 categories it goes in. So you have 7 passages to read, 14 links to click on which will lead to MORE links to click on, and then try to categorize what you read from the links. All that for 4 cents.

    Delores Labs does indeed suck and is little more than a virtual sweatshop taking advantage of those desperately in need of money. I am so thankful I am not that desperate but am so appalled that amazon allows Delores Labs to get away with this.

    What bothers me the most about them is when you do a certain amount (depending on the hit) they won't let you do more for about a day.

    Even I did those HITs...made fairly good amount...
    I agree, such HITs are very rare. But keep ur eyes open. I got such good hits from DL 2 or 3 times.

    Look for HITs such as "review quality of tips" and "verify the image source".
    At times, good ones like this appear. Also, no probs of rejection.

    yeah, I just use Delores Labs to increase my approval rating, but for not-making money go for it.

    I don't do many of their HITs but for many of the reasons stated, however, they are a legit and you don't have to worry about being scammed by a mass rejection as with some requesters ("Classify This" for instance).

    Fortunately, we have the power to to decide who to work for an who to not work for. DL is not all that bad.

    Dolores Labs is a mixed bag. Some of their HITs are pure gold; others are slave labor for the truly desperate. They do pay within 24 hours.

    Whenever I see multiple pages, I immediately drop the HIT.

    I usually enjoy the ones about tweets, but you have to be very familiar with American teenage slang to do well on those.

    I'm outside of US, and are ineligible to work on most hits. That's why I work mainly on DL hits and made most of my money on them (around 95%). Their hits are stable, some are very good pay and fast, some are poor in both time and pay, but they never ever reject, and approve in about 24 hours.

    I have one question about DL. They have their own system of measuring accuracy, and if you get below 70% you'll be blocked from working again on that task until it is reset in a couple of days. Do they take this blocking into account and after let say 10 blocks they ban you forever? Have anyone experienced this? Was anyone banned from DL? As I tend to do work as much as I can until I get near 70% limit, and sometimes going below it and get blocked. Lately when I try to accept hits from them it immediately says that I have done all the work I can on that job (even if I haven't done a single hit, and there are 300 left), so I wonder if this is any kind of blocking me doing too much hits on them.
