Pros
* i paused the timer when i took a short break, but forgot to unpause it for like 20 minutes, so my completion time is an estimate. it goes: short survey, 40 minute task, long survey. i want to say it was probably closer to 60-70 minutes but i rounded up precautionarily, and you'll probably want to take breaks anyway- not as terrible as it seems
- 40 minute task was easy, gives you the option for ~4 breaks (but asks that it's not too long)
- practice doesn't take long, unlike some similar tasks
- uses up and down arrow keys and mouse or trackpad, works fine on a laptop with only a trackpad
- tries to go full screen but you can esc out. it detects when your cursor is visible (when you're disengaged from the task) and asks you to click to refocus/continue
- bonus is performance based, a randomized selection from the task, but it's very much a quality check bonus more than anything else - if you're paying attention and doing what you're supposed to do, you shouldn't lose the bonus
- makes you think it'll go on forever, then ends abruptly
Cons
- server was slow when i did it, so the pages were slow to advance- when you think it's over (demos), it's not
- lots of familiar scale surveys we see in every survey, which is a pro/con honestly

Pros
Bonus (chance of $5 or $10 based on your choices in a round). The bonus is absolutely crucial to a decent pay rate.The main task is FULL SCREEN and MUST take 40 minutes or it'll continually throw rounds at you. I started a 36 minute video to keep track and help keep me awake. You are given breaks.
The task itself wasn't hard and didn't require any intense concentration. Jars in buckets kind of things.
There's a simple standard survey before the main task.
Overall, I'd recommend it because $20 is $20, but you'd be in the best position if you had multiple monitors so you could keep track of the rest of the Turk-world in case a better batch dropped, and also to help keep yourself awake.
Cons
Switching from mouse to keyboard arrows was annoying, as was the "random start position" of the bar during the main task.The survey after the main task was twice as long and awful as the one before the task, with a lot of the same questions. Absolute bubble/drop-down hell after a long, repetitive, mind-numbing task. Just be prepared for it and think about the $20 you just sold your soul for.

Pros
-The main task is actually pretty easy, it just goes for way too long. You do get several breaks though, which is nice.-You will also receive a bonus of either $5 or $10, which makes the hourly worth it. Wouldn't touch this without the bonus.
Cons
-Let's just say I was very excited when this finally ended.-Very long and time consuming with multiple parts.
-You'll complete several surveys, before completing the main game portion, which takes the bulk of the time and is very slider heavy. This portion will last 40 mins and there is no real wiggle room here.
-Then you get a ton more surveys after this, some of which ask pretty personal questions. Seriously, like every other mturk survey was in this hit. There are even more surveys after the demo questions.
-You also have to do some finish the pattern type questions and math problems.
-This really would have benefited from a progress bar.
-Server was laggy at times, so there is some waiting time when advancing to the next page.
