- jstanley 8y agoI'm not assuming that I know what's best for other people, I'm assuming that they know what's best, or are at least in the best position to know what's best. If working for MTurk isn't their best option, they'll pick one of their better options. It follows that, for people who do work on MTurk, MTurk is their best option.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoYet as most of our regulations on every major area show, people in need often don't have better options. Very often they know that only too well, but do it because it's their only option. It follows where an option at the margins causes problems it may need to be regulated to prevent abuse of those in dire straits or need. As already seems clearly necessary for things like Deliveroo etc. Abuse of that nature is how we got a lot of our more civilised food, consumer and employment regulations. It's how we came to the hard-fought idea of a safety net that this generation is trying to shred.
