Comment Data is likely misinterpreted (Score 1) 76

There's a fairly decent community of people who make money using Mturk. They've been doing these types of jobs for years now and have systems in place to stop malware, generally through a blacklisting process. There is also a widely accepted rule that low paying work is to be shunned - nobody wants to work for a sweatshop, whether it be online or otherwise. The general lowest people will work for is 10 cents a minute. It's very much like a union, people depend on Mturk for money and want to make the most out of their time as possible. I don't see mention of any of this in the article, which pretty much invalidates the entire study for me.

Cue one direction, miley cyrus, brittany spears, and pretty much any other pop sensation as being the only viable musicians in the eyes of the A&R departments of major record labels. Plenty of good music is still being made out there, but the artists don't have access to resources like they used to. Yes, recording technology is amazing nowadays, but a sizable portion of what made classic albums as good as they are can be attributed to the network of producers and engineers who would work on them.

Just play the Cadillac of MMO's. You can make characters on a PvE realm so she doesn't have to worry about fighting so much, and it's HUGE. So much character customization, some pretty neat mounts, tons of mini games, super cute pets, it really is a beautiful world. Also, it's the only game I can think of where women are actually welcome. I don't play it anymore, but my wife is running around in Goldshire as I type this.
