This is because it's near impossible to register unless you are from the U.S., now, i heard. Was a reply to me when i suggessted bs 'programmers' who had no idea what they were doing, to go there instead of trying to hopelessly beg for projects on Upwork - 'i'd love to, but they locked everyone outside the U.S. out'.
It is a complete waste of time in many ways but every once in a while I will log on and take a couple surveys while watching a rerun of something before bed. I used to do some survey design/analysis in academia and sometimes it is interesting to see what or how weird the surveys are. I would guess my hourly rate is about $3 and I used that very small amount to buy splurge on cheap useless stuff on Amazon.
As a person who actually lives in a 3rd world country and grew up in America, what you’re saying could not be more false. Even the poorest Americans live a life here that would be considered one of great luxury. We’re talking about living on a dirt floor in collapsing mud houses. We’re talking about babies dying from dirty water as a regular occurrence. No running water, intermittent electricity and definitely no sewage. Most people here haven’t eaten meat in months, occasionally years.
If you actually think America is a 3rd world country you need to get out more.
Americans in Flint, MI have poisonous water, and hookworm is on the rise from sewage contaminated water in Alabama.[0] In 2017, millions of Americans went without electricity or running water for months.[1]

I said it's becoming a 3rd world country. There's still some legacy 20th century infrastructure that hasn't collapsed, yet.
Not sure why the downvote when it is abundantly clear that in every corner of the USA there is this general trend towards decay with very little offsetting it. All our infrastructure is falling apart. I blame the pension crisis. All available monies are going towards pension obligations. Not much is left over for anything else.
All your comments are marked [dead] and hidden. I've 'vouch'ed for this one because there seems to be nothing obviously wrong with it (and selfishly because it agrees with me).
I wonder what Nationality these "Turker" are from...
