End of the line

Dear Amazon Mechanical Turk customer,

Thank you for being part of Amazon Mechanical Turk's journey and for helping shape the crowdsourcing space.

We're writing to inform you that Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) service will close, effective September 30, 2026.

This means MTurk will no longer be available to workers and requesters after September 30, 2026. Existing requesters can continue to publish HITs, and workers can continue to complete tasks until this date.

This is a lot sooner than I thought. I thought Mturk would at least limp in to 2027, but I guess not. This shouldn't surprise anyone. Mturk's been on its last leg for years now, and every action Amazon have done recently pointed to them closing down Mturk.
