hey LJ, finally you are back. I actually have some questions i want to ask you and other bhw members who have tons of experiences with this kind of job
so i finished some other hits just 2 hours ago but I still cannot see how I can maximize my working hours in UHRS - ISS. I think i'm getting used to "is this page adult (v2)" and "business news classification" hits as they are simple and fast. However I cannot say the same to "is this page adult (v3)" because v3 takes way too long time. I mean, in v3 we need to answer few different questions in different steps if the web page is categorized as adult. Answering those questions can take a minute and they pay only $0.02 per question. I think it's best to skip adult v3 because it pays way too low yet they ask too many questions. their categorization is also quite different from v2, makes it confusing if the next day we work for adult v2 tasks again. I actually had to read v2 guideline again after I finished the hits in v3 to make sure that I won't forget the classification in adult v2.
Thing is, when I look back to your first post here and check your screenshot, I can see you actually make the most money in adult v3 hits. To me v3 pays way too low for such a long work. The only trick imo is to skip all adult web pages and only rate those which are clearly non-adult, because rating them as non-adult will only take me 8-10 seconds. Do you have any advice about this? I mean, you seem to be making the most money from adult v3 hits while I personally think it's the biggest waste of time among all tasks in UHRS
Anyway, I have not yet encountered all the different jobs that are available in UHRS. I just realized that I miss most of them after I carefully checked iss_crowd twitter account. apparently they give the jobs mostly in the morning my timezone while I never logged into UHRS before 12 pm. That being said, even if I always work for UHRS in the morning, I still think I cannot effectively work for more than 2 hours a day because the concept here in UHRS is "first come, first serve". if i see 1500 available hits for a specific job, and let's say I don't work for that job at all, and refresh my dashboard 30 minutes later, the numbers for that job at that time would become 400 or something. Basically it'd be much less because other crowdworker already took all the cake. That's why I personally think it's not possible to work for a long time here. People think they can make $6-10 hour and that means the potential is $80 per day (assuming they work 8 hours a day) but honestly I doubt that's possible. We are competing against the other crowdworkers from the same country for the same hits so everybody's working hour is not that much. Again, i dont know if I get the concept right or not, because I can still judge adult (v2) websites that I previously skip, even though it's been hours, so I assume they "reserve" some of the hits to my dashboard. However, I still believe this "first come, first serve" concept is true for most of the jobs because otherwise they should still show me all the morning jobs when I log into my dashboard in the evening. What's your opinion about this?
Thanks
