    Most first timers have absolutely no clue. It's a little better nowadays than when TV first started, but TO has always been insanely niche because it doesn't send results out to Google.

    TV has a habit of popping up on researcher searches for Google so it's a little more common for them to figure it out on down the line but I'd say most, coming into it, have no clue.

    Most of the time the pay slash is because the data they get back is.. dubious at best. See how those HITs have no quals? Yeah, they got a bunch of bullshit in their first result set and are now trying to fix the data.. and probably failing :emoji_face_palm:

    Hi, I'm new here but been a turker awhile. I didn't do Victoria Reznyk for a long time (didn't turk for awhile) then started trying to again a month or two ago. But now those hits are so slow to load for me every time (like 30 seconds to a minute or more for a new hit to load). Back when I used to do them long ago, they loaded a lot more quickly. It makes doing them not worth it when they load so slow now but I still see them going down quickly like people are doing a lot of them.

    Do these hits load this slow for everyone? Or is it something maybe wrong with my computer? Thanks.

    Pros:
    The actual survey part was quick and easy. Mostly passive.
    Cons:
    First, a 4+ min video explaining what depression/anxiety/stress are. Then a few bubbles, a nearly 7 min video explaining what mindfulness it, then a 5 min guided meditation.

    Thanks. Well I guess it's semi permanent then since it's always that slow now. I'm just surprised the batches go down so fast. Did they give a lot of other turkers the qual and overload on workers or something?

    He had such a nice voice! I wanted to appreciate the meditation but I was just lowkey annoyed at the pay the whole time...

    I think lots of people have it. They would be decent if the servers did not suck.

    Yeah, they used to be great back in the day if you could deal with the monotony of the hits. They even went from two items per hit to one so basically doubled the pay, but they're so slow now it doesn't matter.

    Second most overrated qual on mturk, only superseded by "this hit only pays like $4/hr because of the time you spend cherrypicking"

    wtf! I wonder if there were different conditions or something because I did read it and definitely did NOT notice that. that sounds basically impossible.

    There must have been because we took the same study and mine didn't have that stipulation either.

    --cough--VRAPI---cough ??

    I've decided I'm going to try for that qual next time it posts months from now, though. I didn't have enough time the last couple of times it posted.
