I agree. I also wonder if this is allowed under the terms of service. I thought Amazon sold these types of services, that requesters paid them to have access to data. I could be wrong, but I don't see how this fits in with the rules of MTurk.
TurkerPrime is now called CloudResearch.
https://www.cloudresearch.com/
https://www.cloudresearch.com/products/turkprime-mturk-toolkit/

I talked to someone who's more upset about this than me, he said they should be reported. Maybe Amazon isn't aware of what they're doing and if enough people complain it might help:
https://support.aws.amazon.com/#/contacts/aws-mechanical-turk

Workers with a 99% approval rating being blocked from such a large amount of work is nuts, especially when their standards are like this:
Total approved HITs >= 100; CR Research Group #2 DoesNotExist ; HIT approval rate (%) >= 90; CR Research Group #1 >= 100; Location In US;

Has anyone got the CR Research Group #2 block from anyone other than SurveyComet? I don't know if avoiding them would help.

me today

 

already beat you to that, and i barely drink coffee

to show how 1/2 awake i am, i read that as "party like a rollercoaster"

yeah the CR 1/2 was confirmed to come from the Survey Comet hits with the TurkPrime footer where you answer certain demographic questions. I 10000% agree with you, this feels super sketchy how someone can come in and basically undermine AMT by effectively charging a surcharge on top of the AMT fees to rule out "bad workers" in the CR 2 qual. I really dont know how they are still getting away by doing this. It really does kill peoples incomes if they get the CR 2 qual and im SURE not everyone that got that qual actually deserved it.
