    I can't help but notice that the available number of HITS (posted in yellow at the top of mTurk HITS page) is decreasing at an alarming rate!? I have never seen it this low... I've been a worker now for 3 months and its always stayed near 300,000-400,000 available HITS. What gives?! This makes me very nervous!

    I was hoping it's because it's a Sunday..

    Let's hope it goes back up and we get some good hits tomorrow :]

    Annoying as I'm only $20 off my target :(

    But I think quite a few of the worthless 25,000+ HITs have disappeared, so the drop might not be so bad... hopefully pick up again mid-week.

    Ah ok that might explain it! Thanks! I was hoping it wasn't from a sudden influx of new workers due to media coverage or something haha... I'm just starting to get the hang of the best HITS!

    Did only 3 HITs today
    got 2.10 pending from it
    Still money to be made maybe just not worth the time searching though

    I think the good stuff tends to get dropped during USA time, during the week (night-time for me), and usually gets eaten up pretty quickly.

    But what I'm missing, is a large, plentiful, constant supply of HITs I can work on in-between refreshing (such as Redwood transcriptions). Hope something drops soon.

    If it isn't worth browsing, I usually try to do something else but refresh every 10min or so if I can.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    I am waiting till the weekdays to see what happens with the total HIT count.
