    Not very practical. each dummy HIT costs 1 penny to be approved and if my math is correct canucks will need to reach about 121k approved before approval rating is above 98%. That's $410 in pennies and 10 days of capping on dummy hits

    Out of all the relatively innocuous balloon popping videos on Youtube I just have to find the one that's the 60 year old balloon popping fetishist who creeps on a random 10 year old's beach ball.

    If you think that is money laundering you should look up what that word means.

    it might not be money laundering, but it does seem fraudulent and against, if not the actual rules, certainly the spirit of them.

    Good thing the idea is so dumb and impracticable someone would have to be crazy to do that shit anyways.
    Or just be a millionaire that's turking.
    As far as the actual rules go, I don't think Amazon cares cause they're getting that cash at the end of the day. It's in the same area as "fun" HITs and stuff. Back in my early days I remember a member on MTG uploaded a HIT for the newbies of the forum (less than 1k approved) to literally accept and submit for a penny. I did like 500

    I had missed the "he's still pulling in $60 a day bit" I haven't actually been "reading" the forums today, if it didn't fit in the desktop notification I was too lazy to read it lol

    I would consider a 96% approval account to be basically useless anyways but :dunno: I don't actually look at the hit requirements very often.

    nobody with that many hits should have even put themselves in that situation in the first place.

    that, or they are the ones that caused it to happen in the first place.

    Aveline had both her Req acc, worker acc, and someone else's worker acc suspended for one of those fun/vanity HITs.

    I got an e-mail from Amazon telling me to take down TH's captcha clear HIT for being "broken"

    I think they're honestly a little more strict now - or workers are quicker to report for stupid reasons :(
