    Hoard 25 in your queue but work on the ones outside of your queue. Slows the bleeding.

    What is "bleeding?" Why would she store 25 when she can't do them fast enough :p

    You get that because more people have the HITs than actual work is available. If less HITs are available, there is more work for the people doing them. You take more than you can do because then the ratio of work available to hits available is more advantageous to you.

    Note this is obviously a jerk move. But logically speaking.

    So let's say I have 25 pins in queue, and I get the error message after about 15. Usually I can find some more that don't have the "no work available" if I return some - what causes this?

    Yes I am assuming you're the pin guru

    Good morning and happy Saturday Turksters.

    I need $23 to hit my weekly goal. I haven't been anywhere near my weekly since some time in November.

    So close and yet, I'm considering going out to lunch and then video games. Because priorities. And laziness.

    Yea, in the end it's $2 for about 6 minutes, but it's an annoying set up

    Well this is just my theory, but I don't think you find more that don't have no work available. I think they toss a few back into circulation (poor quality, for example) and so the no work available message doesn't show. I honestly don't think specific HITs are dead or alive on mturk. I think whether any HIT is dead or alive depends on Sophia (the pinterest system).
