Amazon Turk pays like trash too. Though, if you have a favorable currency conversion ratio, might not be bad for you.

Looked into it a few years ago to see if I could use it for some extra spending money when I was bored. Wasn't worth it.

Yeah, I played with it a couple of times to see what it was like. I now have about eighty cents in us currency sitting in my PayPal. Woo.

Go back a decade and it was a little better. I used some scripts that optimized things, along with the Turkopticon community this article mentions and a subreddit for high paying tasks.
