Can't find good HITs? 10/23

CrowdFlower was broken for me on that one. I would select that it was a broken link and they're like "Incorrect! It was a bad link" What? lol

 

I didn't get any rejections or blocks from him, but I am nonetheless entirely unwilling to test the waters here.

 

Those houdini HITs were great, now up to $11.79 for today. Just hope they all get approved now.

 

Awful lot for 4¢

 

CrowdFlower's QC system is kind of the wire mother of the AMT world

 

I wouldn't go by that it could be a handful of people that don't know any better, or just know better but are chancing it.

 

I believe these are the same HITs that led to rejections and blocks. Avoid these like the plague.

edit: Or maybe it was the other type of HIT where you have to rate the videos instead of find them. Either way, avoid him. Awful requester in general.

 

No, those were video reviewing.


I'm really tempted...

 

Staying far away from Garth til he fixes his standards. Last email he sent me said he didnt have clear instructions...

Pretty quick about the Presidential campaign, took me about 3-4 minutes.

 

I didn't get burned, but because of what he did to my friends around here I wouldn't touch his hits with a 5 foot pole. If he wants educational videos he is going to have to search youtube himself. The workers shouldn't fear the boss, the boss should fear the worker.
I wont be no scab

 

I was desperate at 3am yesterday and tried out a similar CF HIT for 0.05... I couldn't even get passed the qualification test because of trivial, uncommon errors I made. Bullshit! 22 minutes into the test I couldn't believe what I was doing and returned the HIT. It's rare I even take anything from Flower...

 

You have nothing to lose but your chains!

 

Aka im an asshole and don't want too pay and on top I'll block you.

 

I second that. CF is a fickle beast. Mostly shit pay, but every now and then you will find a diamond in the rough. That's mostly because you stick around long enough on the HIT to outsmart the QC. It's just enough to keep you checking.

I'm already seeing some approvals from Matt Showalter.

 

If you email him he reverses it. He's not bad guy, just probably working on all this by himself

 

The other problem with CF is that on the HITs you can roll on the interface breaks down 20 HITs in and you want to through something through a Window--see Classify News HITs. I keep checking back, but it just teases me.

 

I think it would be really funny if requesters put up HITs that paid turkers to writer fake turkopticon reviews to improve their ratings
