mTurkers get to pick and choose which hits they want to work on. They see a list of available hits, and each has a title, description, submitter, estimated time, and reward. The submitter matters to mTurkers because this allows them to see the hit acceptance rate (how often the submitter pays out on submissions, or how often they reject submissions).
So it's simply a fact of the platform that mTurkers know who they are working for.
- infogulch 8y agoDoes the submitter have to use their or their company's real name? As long as it does the job of a name (stable, recognizable) it could be any name and still accomplish the goal of letting the MT worker sift through hits.
- Harvey-Specter 8y agoI don't think there is any requirement to use real names.
- letsgetphysITal 8y agoDid not know that. Seems... Weird. Thanks.
