I am rich..LOL

 

I got it too. I remember them. They had some weird tasks where you had to click on links but I don't remember what else. At first they paid okay and then they started becoming weird so I stopped doing any work for them. They looked scammy.

Pros:
$6 is $6... maybe.

Cons:
I definitely wasn't confident on this when I submitted it, and probably could have spent the whole 3 hours reading the instructions and still not been 100%. Potential to reject if you don't get 50% correct. (PS- I'm a former teacher and I can do subject/verb sentence labeling like a boss. This wasn't that.)

I totally refused to review this until I saw @A6_Foul_Out do it, since it's a qual hit.

 

That Andy rejected for too short of a timer on the first one. I've mailed him one and just sent him a mail again. RIP.

I'm bullet proof

I'm actually gonna change how this works next TVJS update & make reviewing them fine, just skip calculating them into the aggregate scores. It makes way more sense, especially considering how valuable quals/followup surveys can be, to mark them as a special item instead of just ignoring them completely. facepalm@me.

it has a time investment, and it doesn't make the requester show as not paying well, so it's fine

glad to see others found this difficult

Likely will pass the 50%, but no qual for me surely.
