This is the allure for requesters. They try to optimize for cost savings, amazon's entire marketing strategy hinges on this, so they (including this sears guy) take it for granted that they're getting data dirt cheap, and don't think to pay higher because it goes against that optimization strategy, and as long as the data still pours in there's no incentive to switch courses

Whew Sears saved my day... Today's Projected Earnings $30.99 Every time a website actually had their postal code/full address I kept hearing "And look a wild zip code appears!" in my head.
They saved mine too! I had taken a long break from turking and just started back a few days ago so my goal was only 10 a day and I ended up at 10.37 projected! Here's to hoping they pay pretty quickly! I was getting into a grove and moving through them pretty fast.
