Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

It's microwork, like Amazon Mechanical Turk. You sign up on a website and there are small tasks you can complete (label this picture, is this result inappropriate, which of these is better etc) and you get a cent. Sometime the task will really be a test and your performance will be evaluated. It sounds easy at first but you'll be asked to make a call on many edge cases but it's not worth spending more than a couple seconds on it. I've done it. I stopped because taskers were getting increasingly demanding, it got slower and more annoying and I wasn't interested in having to actually use my brain for 2€/hr.
