i think you are a bot here to stir trouble. but you know what? take your prejudices elsewhere. they aren't wanted here and no one needs your kind of trouble.
MOD EDIT I think you are in a big error! Precisely for the reasons that I have always emphasized, mturk will go into the abyss, with all of you who treat with superiority and contempt those who unfortunately did not receive the status of master, due to the erroneous approach of mturk's parents!

I emailed them and shocker, they replied

We are aware of the issue and are currently working towards a resolution.

Thanks for your patience while we look into this.

Best regards,

Bots are those who intercept a study where a certain age range is explicitly required, and they do it anyway, without thinking that in this way they harm those who are entitled to do that study!

Our last angry discussion on here was about the way this forum is focused on CATS. lol
Here is the problem! Instead of discussing burning issues and of general interest, coming up with proposals and criticisms, we complain in cat cartoons! I really asked myself many times, what is the purpose of this forum?

I got suspended. Now they are giving me the 'broken' message (but it's still suspended). They say I have a problem with my payments account (I don't have one. I transfer money to a bank account).

Sigh
Do the other folks suspended also not have an Amazon Payments Account?

guys i only dont pickfu and surveys for 45 mins a week
WhY nO MaSTRerZ?
they haven't had the qual survey up in years - maybe 2018? I got mine in 2013 or so - someone posted onreddit to take this photo rating survey. A bunch of us did and we got the masters in 2 weeks. I think amazon basically just put mturk on life support just so they could use it when they need it. Mturk and to a smaller degree never turned out to be the moneymaker Amazon hoped for, so they just let it limp along. For a trillion dollar company like Amazon is, the few million mturk brings in is not worth focusing on

There is too much selfishness, greed and unfair competition on this platform! When you try to tell a truth, you are admonished and treated as an AI! Anyway, better to be AI than a decadent mturker! That's why even God doesn't like it here anymore!

If I remember right, honestly don't trust my memory lol, turk was originally designed for actual Amazon workers to pass work around. Like real work, data sheets, etc. This was well before office apps were a thing.
Then I guess they broadened it and turned it into this thing.
They increased the fees to requesters years ago, and said it was to improve MTurk for both workers and Requesters.
Can't you see all the improvements? lol

"selfishness, greed and unfair competition " You are barking up the wrong tree with this here.
This forum was created for the purpose of literally sharing information to help others. Including sharing HITs, apps, requesters that were trustworthy, etc etc.
You can go off all ya like by the fairness of Masters. You have a sound gripe. But this line here, does not apply here at all. Wrong tree.
