I think many people do this not out of need but as a time waster that pays a bit. As the article mentions, 75% of 'Turkers' are American. The article's subject says, "I’d literally be sitting around bored half the day without it. Making money beats doing nothing."

Of course he wouldn't be doing literally nothing. Instead he'd be just mindlessly wasting time browsing Facebook, checking out the latest clickbait, posting on forums, and engaging in the sort of activities that studies are increasingly showing are destroying our collective mental health and social cohesion. Instead, he's using that time to make an extra thousand a month.

Been tempted myself. But then I crunch the numbers vs my actual job and go clean my apartment instead.

That plus a very real fear of RSI from all the mouse clicking. I mean I already click at work all day then on hn/reddit in afternoons...
