Here are some answers. Found this article and thought it was interesting. The bonus questions on Askville come from Mechanical Turk, and there are some users of AV that also participate in Mechanical Turk.

1 Thanks, I had not seen that, and it was interesting. Do you have any idea what kind of money people are making from MTurk? I don't know if it's a few bucks an hour, a few bucks a day, or a substantial amount, like enough to buy a tank of gas once in a while.

5 Whatever the MTurkers are getting paid to write those ridiculous BQ's, I'd gladly pay them *double* to refrain! I'm sure I'm not alone in that sentiment...

As a worker in Amazon MECHANICAL Turk FROM Kenya CAN I RECEIVE PAYMENTS THROUGH pay-pal.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
