About Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing marketplace that makes it easier for individuals and businesses to outsource their processes and jobs to a distributed workforce who can perform these tasks virtually. This could include anything from conducting simple data validation and research to more subjective tasks like survey participation, content moderation, and more. MTurk enables companies to harness the collective intelligence, skills, and insights from a global workforce to streamline business processes, augment data collection and analysis, and accelerate machine learning development. While technology continues to improve, there are still many things that human beings can do much more effectively than computers, such as moderating content, performing data deduplication, or research. Traditionally, tasks like this have been accomplished by hiring a large temporary workforce, which is time consuming, expensive and difficult to scale, or have gone undone.

    "Few regulations on prices"

    Posted 2020-11-23

    Pros: From a business standpoint, you can get a lot of cheap labor through this. And there are guides out there from a worker's end for how to make some decent side money.

    Cons: Amazon doesn't seem to regulate whatsoever the prices they allow people to ask for work for. It's not as bad as it used to be, but compared to other microtask services out there, this one comes off as one of the more unethical ones.

    Overall: There are people who make a good amount of side money off of this, though certainly no one makes enough to live off of every month. For businesses, labor comes cheaply, but with seemingly no bottom out on what they allow people to charge per task and task length, it just comes off really scummy. I personally feel a more ethical business wouldn't use a service like this out of principle.
