1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    Been dreading sitting down again, I guess if I am not in front of my monitor, I don't have to think about it.

    I wonder if we will ever get to know the **~super secret formula~** they used for deciding masters?

    The bias and axe to grind comes in through so strong in some of these surveys it is comical. There is no illusion what the hypothesis they want confirmation of is.

    especially with the combination of the other annoying banner they put up recently for people to block, the inconsistency of the emails(apparently some people got one but I certainly didn't) and the short timeframe

    conditions couldn't be much better for confusion if they were actively trying for it

    I just got my email this morning while I was out shopping, so there is a lot of inconsistency, which is like...normal with Amazon. I like to imagine the intern that was paid to watch me and harvest my data was really dealing with the emotional trauma of letting me go.

    Fuck it, I'll spill what I know. I don't know how they did it for the originals, but there were these hits that were up for a while where you'd categorize pictures (Getty images? maybe?), and if you did those and they liked you, you'd get masters.

    I didn't get an email about this, and I haven't actually gotten any emails since around January from anything mturk-related. No payment summaries, no bonus emails, nothing. I did call in April and got somebody who knew about mturk, and they didn't know why either. Who knows.
