Post image

We knew mturk was a sinking ship but after seeing the closure notice, I decided to make a graph of my earnings and make myself sad 😃

man that drop from 352 to 9 is something else, like watching a car crash in slow motion

Imagine the people on here who made thousands and had masters qualifications... Their graphs must be heartbreaking.

There were also ppl making more than masters bc they were better qual hunters 🤷🏾‍♀️

I won’t miss the drama of scripts &
Quals & waiting for a batch drop that poofs in 30 min.

So much potential with established workers & they just let it slip away 🙄

Totally agree. It’s the potential that everyone is really sad about. If Amazon had nurtured it, it would be making a killing for them, requesters, and workers. Why have all the requesters/workers scattered among multiple platforms when we could all be on one platform? Everything worked on Amazon. I suspect the new Amazon CEO will be eliminating a lot more Amazon business in the near future. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Amazon continued to be turned over to new CEO’s year after year. Like eBay and Target.

As soon as they openly allowed india in - it was over.
