08/14 - Wacky Wednesday!

Canadians don't have such luxury. Amazon says they are rolling out Hyperwallet, but probably like 10 people got it and they called it a day (year).

Just move south of the border long enough to open a bank account.

 

This amazes me. I used to barely get anything on Prolific due to my age (I'm old!) but lately...it's been non stop. Well, I say lately...because that's when I started checking again. My alerts for surveys pop up all the time. It seems to me you 20 somethings are the vastly more desirable demographic!!! No one cares what people over 45 think

 

Actually, I always wondered about that. If you get a PO box or one of those UPS "we let you pretend you have a business address" boxes, open a bank account with something like BoA or Chase, what stops you from getting paid money instead of having to do the gift card nonsense?

 

They just assume they can't put studies online and need to mail you stone tablets instead

 

I can already open a US bank account with certain banks, but I don't even have the option to link one on mturk. Probably only those with their location set to US can.

 

Spoiler: bad word

 

My best guess here is that they have a lot more 20s than they have 40s users, so my demo gets filled in 0.2s while yours doesn't.

Hence the reason you get the PO Box or business box, so you can set a US address as shipping address.

 

They can still see my Canadian IP address.

lol if it worked like that all the Indians would have US accounts.

You need a SSN to have a US mturk account and that is set when you open your account. Nothing can change that.

 

Nope.

I have a boat though

And a taxidermied fox

 

Have you considered writing a long winded SEO keyword packed blog post on blog.turkerview.com extolling the virtues of fellatting yourself if you use the "we took $100,000 from YCombinator and gave back $0 of the fees we stole from workers for 5 years" platform?

 

I find it offensive that someone would ask for 54 photos of feet!
...for only $6.
Hmm...my toes are actually fairly similar to Stimpy's hands here. Wonder what that pays.

 

Noah posts the same task for $15/$16.

 

Absolutely!

I'll send you an invoice

 

You have a boat?
