    was that the batch a few days ago? They were good. The fact that less people are qualled for those helps a ton i'm sure

    I've been there in the summer and :emoji_sweat: it was 113 with humidity in Gonzalez. That nearly killed me. We are like nordic here. It has snowed every month of the year in my life time. I have pictures of me making a snow man in August ha. In the summer we get usually 7 or so days of 100ish but that's about it. But we get 15-20 days of -15 and colder in the winter so there is that. Last year the day my brother graduated from college it was -49 including the windchill.

    It might help to not post such big batches too. few thousand at a time should give the servers time to cool off

    I know for a fact that most people complained that they just got black screens but it was loading for me. :dunno: but yeah also less people have the geohive qual while the PFAs basically don't have a qual

    US only qual and raising the pay would do wonders.

    yeah i was getting some towards the end but I got a good few hours of solid smooth work in. It was nice for a change. US only i'm sure would do wonders although they have to be careful with a pay raise it might just slam the servers even more lol

    I would rather fight with the other US workers over a higher pay than fight with everyone over a lower pay

    The pay will never go back up to what it once was....they have 0 reason to since they have been done for 2 years at this pay.....I boycotted but it never went up so i found a way to make them worth it since it was steady money and I hate leaving money on the table

    Well this pay is at least above slave wages now as now as the servers are working.

    The fact that they think we will be able to kill this 60k batch in under 2 days with how these servers are is cute though

    only problem is when the servers are dead you're not making anything no matter what the pay, but I feel you

    That's what it really is. This stupid, bad HIT has been showing up for so long that I finally did a search and found a way to make it productive. Shrug, Mturk. Shrug, Life if you're doing that.
