CROWD FLOWER has started to flout the norms. In their latest HIT, they want us to sign up for an offer (by providing mobile number) and get INR 1000/- shopping voucher. WTF! I was never a fan of them, but didn't know they would post HITs which are against TOS. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2WSQHOVR14IXSG7O0W8EGWAEYC4679
Sachin, I noticed this 5 days back, and reported it to Mturk which is the best thing we can do. I agree, I do not believe they will stoop so low and flout the norms. Is recession creeping in??
I did report it. I thought crowd flower was one of those long standing requester who would know better! Recession? You bet! The money has already dried up. There were few particular HITs I would work on whose average pay was around $4-5/hr (20 cents each HIT). The same has come down to 3 cents, LOL! And the other regular ones haven't showed up in eons. But there are some days which turn out good, a few days back I made a good $14 within 3 hours. You will prolly find work if you are one of those who feed on the bulk HITs. Otherwise, you will have to wait for the semester to start so that more surveys come by.
