Oh geez, okay won't be doing his HITs anymore! I guess I've just been lucky so far.

 

Nothing so far. I don't think he will respond based on other reviews. I've done previous batches without incident so this was a surprise.

Ugh, a timed page.
"20 seconds to write about X."
If you're a fast writer, 20 seconds.
If you're a slow writer, 20 seconds.

Dear researcher, say hello to my return button.

 

"There are no right or wrong answers"

... except in the attention or comprehension checks:
"You must answer this correctly, or else you cannot proceed."

 

"This study is cognitively demanding, requiring your maximal mental effort!"

And the pay is as low as they can make it.

 

best I can provide is 3.50 brain cells..

 

I am controlled by $1 surveys.

 

"What's your favorite feature of these research survey platforms?"

"The return button."

 

Conversational chatbot-powered surveys can be tedious. The chatbots will eagerly prompt you to write and write, and write, and write some more. OK if you enjoy conversing with chatbots, but the pay is low as usual.

 

What's with all the mislabeled sliders & bubbles?
Proofread yer studies, researchers!
