Yup...I've had the displeasure of being on that thing for a few months some years back. I couldn't shrug the feeling of feeling like a sweatshop worker. "Ah yes, do these menial tasks that'll take you 40 minutes of your time to earn...5 cents! woo!"

I always assumed that shit only made sense if you were living in a place with very low cost of living when paid in US dollars.

It doesn't pay nearly enough as a good source of income.

There's a very stingy and narrow set of requirements you have to meet before you see or even do dollar-amount tasks.

If you're docked by a single 'Requester' aka your micro-bosses on there, then your chances slip.

So, I can't recommend Amazon Machine Turk to anyone. Only do it for beer money. Don't do it for a living income.
