03/27 - Warmish Wednesday!

Okay. So I'm not totally making this up? That one stuck with me because of the very low number of hits they had done, and they thought that was PLENTY to prove they were a good worker.

 

Yeah it might have been a troll but people used to get masters at low numbers. Most likely mturk changed how they handed it out as I haven't heard of that happening recently.

 

This is 100% what I mean by "learn javascript" lol

well sh** guess I better start learning jscript, so a majority of legit batchwork entails jscript?

 

My 3rd hot take of the day is that anyone who thinks this isn't a skill all by itself is a fool.

I could spend 3 hours trying to remember enough math to calculate a median, then try to put it into a js function

Or I could spend 10s googling the problem and not have to go through that traumatic time in my life.

 

Batches can go from garbage to fire with a light about of JS.

 

Or you could just get one of the people in your basement to do it for you.

You can use javascript to do things like hide unnecessary elements, scroll to a certain point of a page, preselect a particular radio button option, bind keys to particular actions (e.g. submit), etc.

 

I just manually click things.

 

Work smarter, not harder.

I recall it happening once years ago. I just remember people Grinching about it on Reddit and other Mturk forums.

Pros:
Nothing.

Cons:
Bubbles upon bubbles followed by logic problems and then more bubbles. Half way through it started asking questions about how you react in school and class, yet it did not say anywhere you had to be a student to take this. I only finished to warn others.

Qualifications: Total approved HITs >= 50; HIT approval rate (%) >= 95; Location EqualTo US;

Like figuring out if an address in a georeferenced lat/lon bounding box or not.
