This one was write a story between 300-500 words and the button won't appear for 20 minutes....Yeah. No.

 

FYI: Here's one to skip on Prolific.

Decision Making Study (5-6 minutes)
By wharton.upenn.edu
£0.59 • £6.91/hr
5 mins = is a complete joke!

Character limitation prevents you from being able to complete the required task. I kept finding and using shorter answers, but the limitations prevented me from accurately completing the task as requested. So I returned it. Complete waste of my time. Argh!

Ok, rant over. lol Carry on.

 

I just had a survey on Mturk called "Drag and Drop" and it wanted me to download an .exe file to take the survey. DO NOT DO THAT. Could be a virus, malware, phishing, etc.

 

Taylor Swift Survey(~ 12 minutes)

Description: For this study, we are looking for fans of Taylor Swift that follow her on social media. You will answer questions about your experiences with Taylor Swift content and her other fans on social media.

I'll be a Taylor Swift fan for 12 minutes for $2.

 

Remesh just sent a correction... its $16.40 but the time is 82min now.... almost 1.5 hours

I was wondering why they shortened it. I've never done one, is this going to be a long 80 minutes?

 

I'm not sure how they are figuring the time overall. It says there is 7min waiting time included in that estimate but usually its more like 20min of waiting. The last one I did was pretty much a full hour

 

Am I a Taylor Swift fan if I just like looking at pictures of her long legs?

 

I caught that Swift study but just returned it. Spidey senses tingling

 

Anyone could have answered it. I don't know why they said someone should be a fan.

 

I just felt like it was gonna be super annoying is all

 

Is the format similar to the ones on MTurk, where you give answers and then rate each other's responses, etc...

 

Well yeah, it was. lol

 

yeah its basically the same. It was just a lot longer

 

yes. the wait time isn't as bad, no bots. estimate has been spot on the few times I've done it on prolific.
