    Random donations and recurring subscription payments are different.

    Message me if you would like to continue the conversation or need further details. I'm not trying to give people ideas on screwing over @Kadauchi.

    It pandas/scrapes and shit like MTS but you pay @Kadauchi money and he actually gives a shit about updating it because you paid him money.

    Plus other features but lets be real the main thing is he gives a shit about updating it because you pay him money.

    Yup, they are right on the website. Its generic and probably a bit verbose and over protective.

    I did say in my post that I'm not great at this part :emoji_laughing:.

    I'm nearly incapable of turking without it. That doesn't matter though because I just won't work rather than go without.

    It does a lot so its kinda hard to just list them, but I know the site doesn't have much.

    Yeah, if you guys are using what is publicly available and free as far as turking tools go then this is a no brainer.

    Having your pandas, watchers, scraper all in one place sharing a PRE pool is going to clean up your workspace and allow you to more easily organize and optimize your workflow. I haven't actually used it personally but I can tell you from looking over it that if you're using free tools and are on the fence, and you're someone who wants to turk seriously, this is going to be a game changer for you.

    @Kadauchi it'd probably be in your best interest to update the watchers part of the features section if you included the GID watchers that are dynamic (switch on automatically when they drop) because that's going to be perhaps the strongest selling point of this over current tools.

    Oh, don't worry about that. There are still people on HS and TM. They haven't even made it to Overwatch yet. It could be a decade before they discover this.

    One last question: Is there a data-mining feature in it? I mean, do you use send-back data for anything?

    I'm going to purchase at least a month. The reason is your long-standing contribution to the community. I also have to contribute to TV, I've onlyl given @ChrisTurk like $4 in ad revenue from back when he used to do that. He probably spent $40 of his time getting me my money.

    So, b/c of your long-standing contribution to the community, excellent tools which have been free, and personal use of AMT. Just as feedback for your business model. I think that homework, which benefits me, should be rewarded.
