I can't remember the name of it, but there was a service where you would text a question akin to a Google search and a real human would respond with the answer. If you signed up to be one of the responders (and proved your ability to find and return an accurate result quickly), they paid you like $0.01 per answer.

I thought it was a neat idea back when everyone was still using dumb phones.

Surely it was more than a penny a response. If each response took a minute then you’ll be making like $0.6 an hour. To make even $5 an hour you’d need to be sending a message every like 10 seconds.
