I signed up for Mechanical Turk soon after its creation. I transcribed podcasts and made about $10/hour, which was not bad money for a student, especially considering that these podcasts were on interesting subjects and it did not feel like hard work. After a few months I moved on to other things, and when I looked at MTurk again, I saw that it had quickly become a race to the bottom. No freelancing site can withstand those capitalist pressures for long.
