It's just a feeling, so please take it with a grain of salt, but I think people see mechanical turk a bit like a game on which they can win small amounts of money. Turning it into work and making people translate for cash (as opposed to entertainment) is likely to lead to higher rates.
- andrewljohnson 17y agoI think your feeling is way off. The people I have dealt with on MTurk view it as work, and to most of them, five American dollars is a great deal of money. I have met people who call themselves freelance translators, and after they finish my translation, they are eager for more at the same rate.
