    With how often you talk about shirts, you'd better be a part of this Amazon program:

    I am a middle-aged man that gives Millenials and GenZ a break, in conversations with my own agers, because I remember how utterly stupid me and every single other person was. I mean we weren't stupid and young people aren't... they're naive.

    We are working on 100k batches of AI learning programs including facial recognition, product placement down to eye movement... and you are not aware that young people are ruthlessly exploited, with every young man comparing himself to The Rock and every girl Beyonce, just as a beginning, so some idiot like Zuck can get richER?

    Fuck social media. It really is cancer.

    I've accepted it forever ago, but I only had a crappy laptop mic and a noisy environment at the time.

    Now I'm set up with my studio mic, a hardware compressor, my RME audio card, etc., but I'm still thwarted because everyone is asleep lmao.

    You are way overthinking UserBob. crappy laptop mic is a-ok as long as they can still understand you.

    I mean, the way some people treat this forum (not saying that's a bad thing) isn't too much different. Except, you know, less pictures of the kids your "friend you haven't seen since high school who used to be a metal head but is now a big time Christian Republican (again, not saying that's a bad thing)" or "former coworker from eleven years ago who only worked with you for three weeks before punching a customer" popped out.

    How do I make it not suck?
    Why does it randomly check my queue when there are no HITs in it?

    Actually I was gonna write a long list of questions but the only one I really want you to answer is..
    How do you feel about the aesthetics of PC?

    Nah, I did it and got turned down for "crappy mic" lol.

    But like I said, it was also noisy around me (working from truck stops and such), so I had to turn on the noise cancellation features.
    That does kill the noise, but at the cost of making the audio extra-crappy.

    The big difference with forums vs traditional social media is the extra layer of anonymity. It tends to allow people to be more lake themselves than the fake shit that you get on twitter and facebook. There is also less pressure as you can leave at any time compared to "everyone is here so I better make sure people like me"

    No, nobody is coming in here months in advance of a skin-cream release with a campaign about how everyone has bad skin... then 3 months later.. "Look, miracle cure skin-cream!"
    This board is about Amazon and CS companies getting people to do a good job on mTurk. I have no problem with that. It's honest.

    It's pretty much the @Girl Polar Bear opposite of what I've got now.
