mechanical turk- worth it?

I did it recently and there aren't as many tasks now ever since requesters were allowed to actually hide them. You see a shit ton "available" but there's nothing to work on because you need lots of quals to so anything. It's not as good as it was even a year or two ago when you could use scripts and make a guaranteed $30-50 a day.

Lately I've been doing academic surveys for a couple hours each day. I make $5.50 / hour on average.

Yes it's still legal slavery if you live in a first world country.

Make 150-200 a week off of it. $5-7 an hour half assed doing other shit. I just play games and collect worthwhile shit(so even though the hourly is that low, I don't consider it to be.) YMMV

convinced myself I was going to put in the work to make 6-7 dollars a day until I got back the 3k I lost in robinhood. Made it to the end of 1 month before I just couldn't fucking handle it anymore. Wound up making 205. Took me 2 hours a day to make that much a month, but at the end of the 2 hours you weren't in the mood to do any other fucking thing, even things you enjoyed. It kind of left me in a haze for the rest of the day. I think its worth it if you want to save up for a small purchase like a computer part or shoes, but if you do that shit for a living your health will suffer for sure.

how do pansies like this handle real jobs?

I work for a petrochemical company. There's a difference between putting up with an actual job and mindlessly clicking shit like a drone. If clicking bubbles for third world wages doesn't bother you, then I guess we know how much you value yourself.

It's clearly different for everyone. I had the same experience. No growth potential for your earnings, no guarantee of jobs, just clicking around like an idiot. Just knowing that made my skin crawl, and I'm a NEET. Honestly, I think if I spent time on MT instead of here I'd definitely have more money, but if I had that level of focus to care about things as annoying as that I'd rather work on developing a skill/learning markets than earning pity money. I already have my living guaranteed, if I want to do better than what I already have I have to make at least 30k plus a year.

first time ive heard of it. im not going to do anything for 2 cents.
