    I just don't get why turkers talk to reporters. We've all seen the articles. No matter what kind of rose colored spin they promise the interviewees it's going to be a flaming trash heap.

    I don't hold it against ANY worker if they feel like MTurk isn't good enough for them. I do hold it against the journalist who will blindly exploit those POVs for their own fucking monetization blog/paper/whatever.

    MTurk sucks dick for some workers. That's just how it is. Goal is to make it better for them, but I whine and Grinch like a MF'er on this forum all the time & if some journalist came and cherry picked that shit the way this guy cherry picked reddit posts you'd think I hated MTurk too.

    But it's totally fucked to publish this kind of lopsided article, because you ABSOLUTELY FUCK people relying on the platform for income. And in researchers cases where does it go? VampiricAcademic (where the SAME digital workers get paid proportionately less) or back to college students (which is fine, no one is entitled to research for cash and I'm not making life judgements on who "deserves" it more) but no matter what the journalist suffers no ill effects and they're onto the next bullshit article.

    Well it'll be hilarious. lmao. Also if they start throwing holy water at you everytime you walk in the church, umm sorry. :emoji_joy::emoji_joy:

    Very well said. I'm going to leave you alone now before I DO catch a ban over this for being a sarcastic asshat like usual. :emoji_grin::emoji_grin:

    But yes that's a very good way to look at it, and I was only considering the workers possibly abandoning ship, ad not the requestors.
