08/17 - Filtered Friday!

And now that you guys have returned your tej hits I'll call up my boi YTA and tell him to drop a fat batch.

 

i'm going to sit down in my shower, rock back & forth in the fetal position, and cry that we're represented in every mturk article by two people who don't even work on the platform any more and couldn't give two actual fucks about helping anyone left on it

 

"[t]he incredibly low pay—just a few cents per task..."

 

now ur talking

wait

 

Well all these freaking surveys have the saaaaammmmeee crap. You can see it coming from a mile away after you read the first two questions. Requester's are too lazy to create unique content that will give them what they actually want or need. (and maybe make it a bit interesting)

 

They always come crawling back after they realize why they are here in the first place.

 

The common stuff you see is standardized testing to establish a baseline for the researchers. They help build an overall picture of the person taking the survey from a psychological standpoint.

 

Don't mind if I do

 

Ok, but there are way too many cyberball, whack a mole, and let's flip a coin, or do you give yourself the care and tenderness you need surveys that it's just one right after another.

 

demographics.

No need to pay people for research if they were all college students. You can get better results/data from 19-25 years olds by just giving them an extra credit in their course but who needs their opinion.

 

Whoa, haven't seen a Tej HIT in ages.

 

In like 2000 surveys, never have I once gotten to play whack-a-mole, where's that at?

 

I've got that sitting in my queue. About to start on it here in a min.

 

And let's not forget the "are you going to be selfish or are you going to donate to starving hungry children" surveys, or the pass half your money back to someone that doesn't really exist.

 

I've had several, but I must admit, they're not as common as the coin flippers. lol

 

They had a similar HIT in June - same questions too - which was $1.

 

do economics survey, we are obligated to tell the truth at the beginning; no fake throwing balls with AI but yeah flipping coins though. If you see some link that they say they are gonna flip the coin or take the randomness from that website, it is true.

 

Sorry, I really never get on my soapbox here, but they're tryna mess with ma money! *credits "ma" @Girl Polar Bear
