    When you see a survey comment that says VERY NICE, it is very probable that they are not actual bots, just Indians or Venezuelans pretending to be Americans.

    Silly me. I've done one more Prolific survey (quick easy followup), 7m $1.42 ("hourly" $12).

    Haven't forgotten yesterday's explications on why Prolific "sucks" — though I maintain that several of "my" other former survey platforms were objectively worse.

    I've yet to become a proficient Turker so I can consistently make better hourly. (I'm a slow learner.)

    One last note about Prolific. I appreciate that they provided informative unscripted replied to my questions. If, from a worker's perspective, MTurk Support has sometimes been described* as a "black hole", I assume that's because MTurk's massive scale makes it impractical for staff to personally reply to every one of the innumerable emails they receive. I can understand that, and it is one reason why I'd hesitate to email MTurk support unless I have a really urgent issue. Wouldn't wanna bother them with anything non-urgent.

    * [Edited to add] — Apologies to ChrisTurk for the link and my misunderstanding of an old quote from a different context.

    Thanks! I really appreciate it :) I've seen those terms thrown around a lot even recently, but this makes so much more sense!

    I guess I'll email the requester and see what's up, since he seems to know what he's doing and is communicative.

    Prolific is prob better than most of the other non mturk survey places but once you get a hang of mturk it is way better.

    Glad you had a good experience & there is no way to find reports of the exact opposite despite Prolific being 1/100th the size & charging (30% more + conversion + sitting on stacks of cash from people who will never meet the minimum withdrawal amount) to provide such excellent support.

    If you like Prolific, good for you. I crack many, many jokes about MTurk but Prolific is a vampiric craphole , so grabbing a wise crack from me about MTurk from 2 years ago is both weird and uncharacteristic of my POV of both platforms in the grand scheme of things. So, for clarity...

    I: https://forum.turkerview.com/posts/173317/

    A: https://forum.turkerview.com/posts/978326/
    LOT: https://forum.turkerview.com/posts/978332/
    Yes I'd do the same thing, tbh, so yes I am a hypocrite and would Tweet from that posh hipster office instead of mine if I could: https://forum.turkerview.com/posts/978356/
    ...and so does TurkPrime: https://forum.turkerview.com/posts/861563/
    ....who are better than bad: https://forum.turkerview.com/posts/1089115/

    I don't particularly care to have some post from 2 years ago quoted out of context for a discussion I have no part in.. but since you did there is a compendium of my thoughts on Prolific for you to peruse through since you have time :emoji_thumbsup:

    @LucusNon if you do have time to read all those posts about how garbage Prolific is, you have time to get better at turking.
