Pros
So, the bonus did justify doing this. See cons for more info.Cons
Based on other reviews, it looks like some workers were only getting 10$ as a max bonus. And that was how it was worded in my instructions, I am pretty sure... I didn't check reviews before doing this, and was pretty annoyed at the length during it cause I thought 1 hour would be a high estimate (it wasn't, obviously).I emailed the requester before getting my bonus and she said it is a 10$ or 9.90 show up bonus + performance compensation (which I am guessing can range from 0-10$, though it would probably be hard to get less than 3.50 on that side of things, even just randomly clicking).
So, as long as everyone is compensated the same way, 10$ + additional bonus, then this is a fair task.
If you did this in the past, I might message the requester, and ask what happened to the rest of your bonus or ask for a bigger bonus because obviously had it just been a 6$ bonus or whatnot for 1.16 hours, that would have sucked.
Advice to Requester
Clarify your instructions if it truly is 10$ + performance bonus too. Maybe figure out if you were compensating past workers incorrectly.

Pros
UPDATE: Underpaid, I emailed requester and was given a $6.99 bonus for 66 minutes of wasted time. Communication is excellent, but I am not satisfied because the maximum bonus was $10 and that would still only be fair pay. Adding requester to my personal blocklist.Cons
DON'T DO IT. After spending 66 minutes and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel (not to mention losing out on much better hits) it froze. I finally ended up submitting with my worker id. Even if I get paid the max bonus it's only $10. Not worth it. Extremely boring.

Pros
Edit: I've now been able to participate twice. My 1st round ran smoothly, ended 41 min shy of the estimated 60 minutes and payed out 10 cents more than the advertised bonus. Round 2 promises the same bonus and set the round at 70 minutes. It may have gone the distance, but glitched out 120 some rounds (~50 minutes) in. I messaged the req and they responded promptly (as others have reported) to submit with worker ID and said enough data had been collected that bonuses could be calculated.Edit: Round 2 base and $20 bonus paid in a couple of days.
Cons
Bonus is not disclosed and pay could be terrible depending on what the payout happens to be.Edit: Round 2 was laggy and a bit frustrating.
Edit: Given qual so I can't play no more :(
