There's an unofficial ratings system for those who post the jobs[1] that most people who use MT with any sort of regularity (including myself back in the day) use. If a requester consistently fails to pay out, they'll stop getting as many workers who are willing to work on their tasks.

That's a great point! Though still really hoping the default experience has improved in the past year or so as well. Not every new or even semi-experienced user is going to be savvy and aware of external rating systems, or other peripheral tools to help improve the worker experience. I know i wasn't (first time hearing about turkopticon, sadly -_-), but that doesn't reflect at all on how qualified someone is to do the mostly very simple tasks available to work on.
