RE: MTurk Needs Healthy Competition: Enter Effect.AI - Effect2018

in #ai6 years ago

Thank you for sharing... please, note that Mturk is only available to US workers, so that bit about Mturk users being from developing countries might need some fact checking.

That said, I think the work you guys are trying to do; Amazon Mturk is a huge mess for the following reasons:

  • Poor payment and remuneration scheme... many workers earn less than one cent for tasking and painstaking work
  • Exclusive use of checks to process payments -- like Amazon, WTF is that??
  • Scam requesters -- many requesters are not clean people and take advantage of the workers. A common scam is rejection of work that a worker completed according to the rules.

All of these are tiring , and sadly, there is no viable Mturk competition at the meoment.

Effect.Ai has a demonstrable real world use case and I believe the project will take off and achieve mass adoption when it is rolled out.

Thanks for sharing this... I shall an eye for Effect.Ai

All the best,

Diana

Thanks, Diana! I appreciate all your great comments. It's true. The whole paycheck thing is stupid. Too many employees are banding together complaining about the "check's in the mail" issue. Not sure I'm on the same page as far as fact checking though. I'll have to look into that. My sources say otherwise.

But the use case for blockchain here is pretty intense. I think the immediate payment is great, for one. And the computing power will be a good one as well. To say nothing of the marketplace. I'm excited about these guys. I'm not an employee for this company - just doing a quick write up on them for a writing contest. I'm enthusiastic about the subject and about them.

great and so valuable comment @kopt33
