    Yes, I like to do safe little penny HITs like this when there's nothing else up as a rejection buffer. Stuff like this is also good to get your numbers up when you're first starting out.

    I currently have over 118k approved HITs.

    I quit on mturk many years ago. I had 7 bs rejections early on doing penny hits before I understood what to watch out for and wisened up using turk opticon.

    People were telling me I would see big improvements at 1k, 5k, 10k etc but I didn't experience that so gave up because it already seemed pretty dead then with extremely low earnings compared to the time put in monitoring alerts/forums all day. People were already saying masters wasn't being given out anymore.

    I think I was at 5600/7 or something when I came back late last year and started participating in this forum. I am now at 7900/7. I am glad connect/cloud research and prolific have been solid for me.

    I never qualified for them because I assumed from the qualification requiring a mic then all of their hits would require it too. Was I wrong and they are just more like another pickfu and you can do their hits just with mouse/keyboard/typing after you qualify?

    It's important to note that the hourly average takes into account all reviews submitted under that requester, so not just the current hit or previous ones with the same title. Requesters raise and lower pay for similar tasks sometimes, so I find it's good to look at the most recent reviews/ try to find reviews for the exact hit you are doing if you want to double check it's worth it.

    That's great. I enjoy those platforms too although I get only a trickle of studies, never an avalanche. I'm often staring at empty dashboards, so I'm back to MTurk to fish for more pennies there, and looking for other ways to spend my time.

    I should've clarified, in my comment to which you replied, I was talking about Connect, not MTurk. — On Connect or Prolific, if I recognize a requester as one who also uses MTurk, then I can check for reviews on TurkerView. But otherwise, where can I find reviews for requesters who appear on Connect & Prolific?

    If you see the Amazon Music for Artists, do them. They are giving out a qual. Not sure if they have a lot of work.

    Finally conquered the "umm" habit.
    Spoke for several minutes on a voice task, and didn't say "umm" more than twice.

    The result is a more professional-sounding recording
    (versus before when I'd "umm" every few seconds).
