1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    We've all moved here: https://cash4surveys.fun/

    It's the official replacement for MTurk. I wish all these requesters trying to make their own MTurk would just instead accept the fact that they will never make a platform better than Cash4Surveys.fun and join us.

    You really should. You can cash out once you reach $25. Payouts were non-existent for a while, but I fixed them a couple days ago, you can now immediately withdraw to PayPal or get an instant Amazon/Apple gift card code once you reach $25, which only takes like ~4 minutes if you avoid rejections.

    I don't know. I remember them paying well and it just popped into my mind to wonder where they were going to go if they plan to do it again for the November election.

    This is the answer. Loved it and hated it. Regardless, MTurk has been part of my life for 10.5 years. All of the tedium and all of the weirdness...

    Weirdness like.... Rating countless gruesome laparoscopic surgical videos, evaluating photos captured by toddlers with cameras on their heads, predicting if a pedestrian is going to jump in front of a moving car, flagging photos of dudes who accidentally uploaded a selfie of themselves hanging dong in their hotel bathroom during a family vacation, making $300/day playing a super simplistic videogame during COVID, and pseudo-stalking Air BnB hosts...

    Even though prime MTurk has been long gone for many years, it feels unexpectedly devastating that it's all simply coming to an end.

    I still get an email from their newsletter or something like that on occasion, but I don't ever look at them. The last time I remember doing one of their HITs was 2016 or 2017.
