Heads up!

Over the next few days some services may experience bugs/downtime as I'm working on some back end stuff which requires some server & database config changes, won't be able to measure performance impact until the week begins, sorry if there are hiccups but they should be resolved quickly if anything starts acting wonky!

News headline survey, Approx. 15 minutes. - $1.50

Pending

$10.91 / hour

00:08:15 / completion time

Pros

They ask at the end how long it took you to complete, which I assume is out of a willingness to understand how they're paying, which I appreciated.

EDIT: Responded positively to my email about the missing survey code after just a few minutes.

Cons

Includes some kind of upsetting news headlines (some falsified) - violence to children, some other disturbing violent content.
Photo of a syringe. Another photo with some blood on a deceased sea creature.
No survey code appeared at the end; emailed the requester about this. (EDIT: Responded back!)

Approved

$3.44 / hour

Pros

Edit (1/24/22): Looking at the 5 other reviews for this HIT, it does not seems as if anyone else recorded the possibility of a bonus. It has been so long, I don't remember this HIT and I only had a penny for a placeholder. Instead of marking this as unpaid, I am removing the bonus all together.

However, since I have sent dozens of inquires about the bonus with no answer, I am marking communication to reflect.

Cons

Writing.

Bonus op, but doubt it will make up for the dismal pay. YMMV.

Approved

$14.03 / hour

00:06:25 / completion time

Pros

Unintentionally funny. It had a bunch of headlines that talked about things like Trump crying in a garden, someone wanting to erase 4.6 billion years of history, etc. The article headlines had to be fake. That, or I don't check the news often enough.

Cons

If you're a political zealot, some headlines may make you angry.
