>Our group made the calculations to ensure that our task would pay at least minimum wage. As a result, we had to throttle our participants because they would hit our servers pretty hard.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean purely requests per second or what?

[probably_wrong]

Yes, requests per second. Everyone would jump to our task. Compared to "regular" experiments, where getting participants requires active recruiting, this was completely unexpected.
