On the other hand, this page says: "AWS continues to invest in security and availability improvements for Mechanical Turk, but we do not plan to introduce new features."

So who actually knows. Maybe MTurk will outlive us all, for all we know.

 

I also like how they say they aren't planning to introduce new features, as if they've ever introduced new features.

 

idk man i think they're gonna close it soon. It was a nice run, I'm just gonna try to make as much as possible this august lol

 

POV: You rack up one too many PREs in the year 2030.

 

Yea this makes it very clear. They're closing it soon. They're literally telling all current requesters to leave.
