Related to this, Stanford created something so you can use Mechanical Turk without being overly exploitative (ensures you pay at least US$15/hr): https://fairwork.stanford.edu/

I particularly like this part of the FAQ:

I have an even cleverer point suggesting that I might not be able to trust workers' self reports. Might my clever rebuttal be right? Yes. But you are using this tool because you want to help ensure fair treatment to workers, right? Fair treatment starts with trusting workers. They will make good faith estimates.

I like the idea of having the market decide what is fair, instead of some Stanford website.
