Pros

Maybe one of those too good to be true HITs but it pays very well and *seems* easy to do.

Final update: Had success with emailing the original site's contact support. They finally reversed the rejection.
Tip: Don't message through MTurk or through the Vana-App chat system, use the email support@vana.xyz

Cons

Edit: Bruh. Rejected with just a "x". Definitely too good to be true. AND never responded. If they don't respond to additional contact attempts, I'll be contacting them through their contact support on their site.

Edit #2: 25% approval rating. Yikes. Anyways, got into contact through their site https://app.vana.xyz/fireboa/spotify as it seems they will ignore all emails. Their support was unhelpful, the guy in the chat wanted more of the Spotify data in order to assist me and wanted to offer me a completion code even though the HIT was submitted days ago nor is the person in charge of the HITs showing any interest in communicating back. Then he said in order to be "reimbursed" I will have to redo the entire thing over again. Great. The chat has been going on for almost 30 minutes and I have no solution yet.

Edit #3: I doubt I'll be seeing any sort of payment/reversal for this as their support doesn't really understand what MTurk is. Still getting the same issue and support insists that I keep redoing the task without compensation so that I can just "submit" the code. Chat support then said they'll be back with further instructions and left me hanging for over an hour now. I sent an email to their helpdesk because this is just frustrating.

Easy if it could be done. First, they only give a 20 min timer. Then after I linked my Spotify (it was safe to do so), it completely froze up and did not proceed to give the survey code. I tried another browser and same thing, even incognito. Nothing. I submitted with my worker ID and left a little note. I emailed the requester explaining the situation and provided screenshots and hope it doesn't backfire on me.

Pros

2/8 - support helped me through email to get the completion code. Hoping things will be fine after this.

2/9, later - reversed it. Thankfully, they have receptive support.

Cons

Does this actually work? Like everyone else said, there isn't enough time. I connected my account and ended up on a page with a spinning circle that is STILL going almost an hour later. No code, tried to contact requester.

2/9 - woke up to a rejection. Okay, that's how they want to play.

Pros

Wasn't too difficult to follow the instructions.

Cons

Responded when I reached out on their customer support website and said the rejection will be reversed in 24 hours. Update: 24 hours later they did indeed reverse the rejection, they did not respond to my messages on mturk and I had to reach out to them on their website which required making an account which is not ideal but they were very professional and did reverse the rejection.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
