Alright, I physically can't anymore...enjoy the last of that bird batch. And I was going to say something else but I'm so tired, I forgot. 250 bird HITs completed. I'm out.
I believe it's all based on what's good for Amazon financially. What's going to make Amazon the most money in incrementally short time frames, or who's going to make Amazon more money?. Is worker A or worker B going to make Amazon the most money. I'm convinced of this after someone in here got masters after 4,000 hits yesterday (not to point them out). Look at the amount of money they made in the amount of time that they made it. Amazon will grant that person Masters because they get higher return on that person than someone like me who has 3,000 more hits and 0 rejections, and much more deserving people than I in here like Zingy and lanone, as well as many others . It has absolutely NOTHING to do with quality of work or whatever. That's all lip service. That's all taken care of based on the qualifications that requesters can put in their HIT (number of HITs, approval rate, etc.). Makes sense with the people who have gone without turking for a decent amount of time and suddenly get masters. They are part of Amazon's revenue stream. They don't qualify as someone that makes them "lots of money" but someone who they can count on for sufficient money. Oh shit, they stopped turking. Let's lure them back in by giving them "masters" because that sufficient flow of money ain't there anymore. Cowfin went on vacation to Hong Kong and deserved "masters" a long time ago. Not surprised she got it while taking a break and going on vacation. Amazon is going to do what's best for Amazon. They don't really care about us workers.
Amen. Incidentally, if I ever do happen to get a Master's qual, I will make sure to put it on my resume along with screens of my WoW character, I'm betting that one-two punch will get me hired for my dream gig at Sonic.

Odd, it looks the same as that kind of dubious Photoman Facebook HIT, but from a requester with fewer reviews and a lot better TO, and for about half as much money. 24 hour timer, I'll give it shot tomorrow I think.
I started it and thought it was a lot of work for 2 dollars. It was the first hit I tried doing today so that may have been part of the reason I returned it also. I like to start the day with mindless stuff.
I accepted it, but it looks like waay too many hoops to jump through. I didn't really have the energy for all of that mess so returned it.
