A cool idea, way overpriced in my opinion, though. $24-$149 a month for "you moderate" packages? I could roll my own in almost any programming language in 1/10t

A cool idea, way overpriced in my opinion, though. $24-$149 a month for "you moderate" packages? I could roll my own in almost any programming language in 1/10th the time it would take me to integrate with their service.
The MTurk services are a little more reasonably priced, 2.9 cents a comment is about what I'd offer the users directly.
- anigbrowl 17y agoI have my doubts about whether the Mturk payments are going to attract moderators capable of handling more than the 'LOL I TROLLED U' comments, though. It seems like more of an anti-spam/swearing tool than anything likely to elevate the quality of discourse; that's useful enough in and of itself for quite a few sites though. I do think it's fairly pricey. 15k messages/mo ain't much on a busy site. Some political blogs rack that up in a couple of days, but I don't see them putting down several thousand a month for crowd moderation.
