A study about 2min(~ 2 minutes) - $0.30
Underpaid
Unrated
Approved
$10.29 / hour
00:01:45 / completion time
Pros
Cons
The single least-believable manipulation I have ever seen. Includes writing (in response to an effectively nonsense question). Also includes ridiculous forced-choice question.Advice to Requester
The single least-believable manipulation I have ever seen. Requesters cannot send physical items to workers without violation of mturk ToS, and all or most mturkers know this. And unlike the nonsense "laptop" survey you've posted 8000 times, "describe your resuirements for a book" doesn't make any sense. Even if I believed "an algorithm" was actually looking at what I typed and responding to it (I didn't, because I'm not an idiot), I would not accept any of the "results" even for free.

approved while I was messaging about codeCons
A completion code was provided, but there was nowhere to put it on the HIT page.Also, apparently thinks there are only three possible reasons why someone might not buy a particular sort of program.
