I know a lot of us did these a couple weeks ago when there were thousands of them up all week. It seems like they were gradually trying out different formats since then and posting a few here and there... Looks like they settled on how they want to do them, and they just posted over 1000 of them. These ones are for 14 cents instead of 21, but it's only 2 articles instead of 3. I like it better this way. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=260LVCNHMVHVQ4IW7ZB2B4JFFTT02P
Something weird I noticed about these though... the first few that I've done seem to not be articles written by a 3rd party, but by the company themselves. In some cases it's an anouncement right on that company's own website. Weird. I guess it makes it them easy though, it's not like the companies are going to say something negative about themselves on their own website right?
Nice to see these back up in a huge batch I've been doing them 1-3 at a time ever since the last big posting, glad to see Crowdsource finally let us do a bunch at once! This is a little off topic by the way, but has anyone noticed that sometimes you could get a HIT with only one sentiment (usually the last one in their small batches was 1 sentiment instead of 2). They still paid full for these, was just cool that it was literally half the work
That's what I was referring to when I said they seemed to be trying out a few different formats/setups for these over the past couple weeks. I guess they wanted to improve on the original ones that they had posted in huge volume so they gradually rolled them out a few at a time with little changes here or there. I believe I did a couple last week that were only one article and paid 10 cents.
Yeah the majority of these don't appear to be actual 'articles' about the subject.. they're more like press releases on company run blogs.
That's how it looks. It's making me just A LITTLE nervous, because pretty much every one of my answers is likely going to be either "positive" or "very positive". Not too worried though, I've never had a rejection from Crowdsource.
I did a couple where it was one sentiment for 14 cents, and had my fingers crossed they'd stick with that in the long run. Oh, well. 7 cents per sentiment really isn't bad. I've got the specifics of the directions super-memorized now after a week of catching all of these I could as they trickled out.
Yep, and based on the fact that most of these seem to be more like press releases than articles makes it even easier. I'm pulling a nice pay rate out of these right now.
Wow, what a nice batch. They're up to 3700 now. Time to crank up some tunes and get to work. I'll do these until I pass out either from boredom or exhaustion.
Now over 4000... I was just getting ready to go to bed, but I guess not now. It would be nice if they ran big batches of these all week like they did with the 21 cent ones.
I have come across an annoying number of foreign ones. Not too bad when it gets translated but not all of the pages are translated and there's no option for non-english pages so I just return the HIT.
I'm just keeping a google translate page open for those. These HITs pay well enough to where I don't mind.
I actually like these better than the 21 cent ones. It's the same rate, 7 cents per article, but I feel more productive when I'm submitting hits more often haha Plus the "articles"(press releases) in this one are extremely easy to find the obvious sentiment, so they're going super fast for me.
5k and climbing! Yay! I've been waiting for these to come back!! I love my tech articles ^^ I wish I could actually do many many more per HIT. You're losing time while the HIT submits, and the next one loads. I think in terms of $ per second, not hour since most jobs on here take seconds. I'm losing seconds every time I have to hit submit. On the other hand i'm gaining more approved HITs. A padding is always good incase you get screwed over.. That, and it's just fun saying I have 12k HITs with 99.8% accuracy
