    Interesting(?) article:

    https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07-highlights-unreliable-responses-amazon-mturk.html

    (Dismiss any popups and ignore the distracting ads.)

    The gist:

    One study "involving over 1300 participants" found that "the majority of participants from MTurk's general worker pool failed the attention checks and demonstrated highly inconsistent responses, even when the sample was limited to users with a 95% or higher approval rating" – but Masters "consistently produced high-quality data."

    I'm sure this has been asked at least once, but because I am an infrequent visitor, I don't know where to see it.


    the last 3 times I was on mturk, when I tried to submit a task, it kept failing, but I'd go to the queue and see that I could still "work" the task, and when you 'work' it again, it has the submission code ready to submit.


    I cannot submit tasks on my laptop anymore? I must ALWAYS do it through my phone?

    (No such problem here.)
    Could it be something in your browser causing this?

    I would:
    Disable add-ons / extensions, and clear the browser's cache entirely. Restart the computer. Then try another hit submission. If it still doesn't work, then I'd clear all cookies (which of course also logs-out any active logins), log back in and try another hit.

    ... You can also try using a different browser, instead of your usual one.

    Since when is Ignite Media back?

    I used to do those occasionally.

    Closed qual now though.

    And the pay is still what it is.
    If I remember from someone's comment, the pay reduction happened many years ago.
    I wasn't here during the good-old-days before the cut.

    Who uses mturk without masters? Why would a new user on mturk who provides "high-quality" data spend time on the platform? Why would you target research at a "far fewer" pool of "experienced" participants?
