That reply wasn't for me, but since it followed my reply, I'll comment. As I said, "I enjoy doing a lot of 2-cent HITs, so 50K of those would be $1K." Now suppose those HITs take about 30 seconds on average, so that comes to what, about $2.40/hour. Is there any chance that I'll encourage people that they are worth more than $2.40/hour? No, probably not; at least, not by setting an example. I will simply continue doing the HITs that I enjoy doing. If that discourages someone, I'm not sure why I should care. In any case, I don't.
