    @WelcomeToFrightNight I know you've been here a while. I see that now. I know sometimes it's easier for someone to show you rather than try to figure it out on your own. What scripts do you use now?

    I feel like it's a legitimacy type of thing. Most of the people I try to explain turking to think I just dick around on the computer all day. They don't think it's real work. I take it seriously and I know everyone else here does as well. It's really helped me and my family financially. Articles like this make it seem like a joke.

    I was like so happy to get cake but then I saw the shipping tag price and went into rage. I have found a way to make up for it though and you can't stop me :aetsch:

    I use Panda Crazy and it's helper, Plus HIT CATCHER and HIT FORKER, that's it. I think PANDA is the one which confuses me most, as it seems there are several "layers" of pages where you can maybe "store" popular HITS so that you're ready when they "drop" but I never seem to be able to achieve this. I thought about maybe also using HIT FINDER in another browser but I don't want to get bogged down by scripts, I'd rather know how to use ONE of them really well, rather than the botched attempts at using too many.

    Because my ego is small and fragile and anything that even remotely threatens me scares me. My only defense is crap posting to hide my feelings on inadequacy

    Thanks. Both valid points.

    As far as legitimacy of the work / platform I guess it's a lot easier for me to not care at all as a filthy casual. Other than my wife I don't think I've ever explained mturk to anyone. I'll say something vague like freelance work online and, if pressed, give some random batch like CIs or pins as an example.

    Don't let people get to you by minimizing what you do. Some people are just judgmental and are going to side eye any job that isn't 9-5 in an office setting. We don't care what they think. Not to mention, most people would jump at the chance to work from home or earn a solid wage in their spare time with zero commitment.

    Hit catcher and panda crazy are the same, and hit finder and hit forker are the same. Most prefer hit forker+panda crazy because they play nice together.

    It sounds like you're running popular pandas to catch when they drop, which will hurt more than help, honestly. You should only panda a handful of things at once if you expect to catch anything. On hitforker, you can add requesters to your include list in order to get an alert any time they drop something, then you can panda from there. Another alternative is overwatch, but if you're already familiar with hit forker/finder and are concerned with inundating yourself, you might as well stick with HF and utilizing the include list.

    Yeah you definitely need to decide if you want to use panda and hit forker or MTS. You don't want to use both. How many pandas do you run at any given time?

    Legitimately the only reason I care is because there are over 100 academics just DISCUSSING not using MTurk over it. Let alone the god-I-don't-want-to-know-how-many who are reading it all

    Every one that goes to Prolific is a straight 50% loss to fees right off the top BEFORE PayPal conversions since they price hiked their "ethical" platform fees. Nvm legitimizing $6.50/hr as acceptable and giving a freaking slider bar to drag it all the way down there with 1 click
