    They pop up occasionally, not really during the past week but if you're on the lookout you can find some pretty high paying surveys that don't take a lot of time

    For real, I would LOVE surveys if they were coming in like that. I'm just tired of saying how I'm feeling 50 times every survey I do for 5 bucks an hour. At least batches I can listen to a podcast without slowing me down.

    I hope you're also using PandaCrazy and Overwatch. They've both really changed the way that I turk. I also recommend Mturk Suite, there's a lot of awesome stuff that comes with that script.

    Nothing right now, but sometimes a survey makes me feel like I am doing someone's homework or school project research for them.

    Keep taking your sweet time being super careful and giving amazing data and see how much money you make. I am literally being paid for my opinion and hell if I'm gonna be paid less than minimum wage for it. I'm not fabricating it--I just see patterns and have gotten quick at responding to certain ones. Judge me if you like. My dollars will comfort me.

    I just wish there was a way to have overwatch auto panda things it sees. It's likely doable just would take a good bit of modification to OW.

    PandaCrazy is/was the only thing I used. I generally find my surveys the old fashion way but scraper speeds things up a lot. Lemme look up the other things you said real quick

    I have learned about and installed a lot of scripts this week but this is the first time I have heard about being able to back them up. I lost everything yesterday when my computer cleaned itself. Is there a thread somewhere that teaches us how to back up the scripts?

    I go at a good speed, been doing surveys for the better part of 15 years. But I also know that just speeding through surveys will give bad data and eventually requesters will leave. Not to mention the potential rejections many have been known to give for being speedy... but whatever, enjoy your "dollars" you elitist

    The only reason I wrote out those paragraphs was to help y'all out. I certainly didn't do it for my benefit. We can have different experiences and that doesn't mean either of us is wrong. I read incredibly quickly because I'm a novelist--it's something I've always done. I still absorb the information. My approval rating is 99.7% so I'm not really hurting on rejections.
