    Most hits actually are fractions of pennies per "task" like shit like 50 images for a dime etc. etc.

    Never understand why people freak out about PFA because of this. I suck at math, but I think each image is $0.003? At least when they were .40 each they were closer to .01 each image.

    Some people have a fetish for working slave wages or something. :dunno:

    Dunno but I believe that they are 50 images currently.

    From the PFA TO:
    "
    Thats about 7 dollars an hour to sit in your PJs and make money.

    This is Mechanical Turk.
    The best part of the job is exactly that.

    This is a VERY good requester, them AND GeoHive both. they work very closely with each other."
    Ayy lmao.

    I remember getting paid $7 an hour for my first job. It wasn't bad--I worked at Chinese restaurant and got to read my book when it was slow. This was before phones were fun like they are now, so I got a lotttt of reading done in those days. It was great.

    Maybe I'm just insane, but multi tabbing PFA it's still possible to clock in 12-15/hr off them. ..Unless the servers crap out, which is roughly 75% of the time.

    When they were 40 cents a hit they were one of my biggest money makers. Now I just get sad when I see them post.

    Even though it can be only $0.25 below the federal minimum in some states, it doesn't mean you have to settle. The requester payed way more making it more profitable. The fact that they don't always work and sometimes you have to return your whole queue because their servers won't work makes them hard to work with.

    Are you implying that there is a state that matters besides California? =p The min wage is $10.50 here though right now and it will keep going up until $15? I think slowly over the next few years.

    Sending this back in a few min.. too much reading for me today to do this right now.
