10/14 - Terrifying Tarantula Thursday!

A couple of days ago I did this HIT for BBA Lab. They had previously ran it with $8 base payment, but for the version I completed, the base payment was set to $1. The informed consent stated the task paid $8, but was sort of vague on this point.

I reached out and had a back and forth conversation, but don't think they quite understood my question. Long story short, if you see this HIT in the wild at $1, you will eventually get $7 + whatever bonus you earn. My assumption is the previous versions did not include a paid screener, where now it does.



Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus from BBA Lab for work related to 3TCFMTM8IK20KJBW9D1IMIRBJBI125.
The value of your bonus is: $7.30 USD

The Requester included this note:
No comment provided by Requester.

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

Sincerely,
