Pros
They paid. After a lot of unnecessary waste of worker time.Cons
11/28/22: I join the 5+ other Mturk workers today, who gave this particular HIT = LOW, or UNDERPAID ratings.I agree.
For $5. Only. NO bonus this HIT, even though their other long $5 HITs, paid a very GENEROUS bonus. Nope, not this HIT.
Neverending, hundreds of questions, dozens of pages. Long run-on sentences, that take time to read, think, and choose answers to.
Half way through, I had that feeling, "This is exploitation. This is clearly not balanced pay, for work trade" -
The HIT did not work for the first 20 minutes it was posted.
3+ workers on one Mturk forum, were talking to each other, getting feedback, was it loading/working -
Requester estimated work was 60 minutes. Requester chose a 60 minute timer. Thus, when the HIT finally functioned after 20 minutes of blank page? The HIT expired, as I was working it.
Prior, similarly titled HITs from this requester on Turkerview, mention $10-15 bonuses, with $5 base HIT pay. Many workers assumed THIS HIT would also have a big bonus, to compensate for the demanding, long, and tedious test. Same $5 base pay, as the prior HITs. NO bonus.
Nope. No such luck.
This is NOT worth it for $5 base pay. Double that for base pay, would be appropriate. Had I known? I would have returned this, and used my work time towards fairer paying work.
I am not working with this requester again, based on many poor choices made with this work.
Advice to Requester
- Reply to worker emails, when your work is malfunctioning. At least 3 workers state you didn't reply to any email this round.- We workers deserve fair minimum wage. This requester and HIT, chose to not provide that.
- Make the simple choice to double the HIT time in your HIT design = least double the actual HIT time estimate. That is what most seasoned requesters do. This offers a built in margin if your server errors, as it did today, without time theft from workers.

Pros
Underpaid but it's nice getting a chunk of five bucks in one go. The 60-minute estimation is confusing, and I'm not sure if it's actually a reference to the 60-minute timer. It took me a little over half an hour but I'm sure it could be done faster in the Likert scale section.Cons
Be aware this was getting a lot of returns, probably due to requester-side server issues. I had zero problems, but it's something to keep in mind.

Pros
Instructions, plus main task for bonus made up the first half. Lengthy survey for the second half. Demographics in the middle.Edit: bonus received same day.
Cons
Demographics in the middle gives false hope.Long and tedious. Very bubbly. Felt like it was not going to end.
No code.
