    MTurk is something I do every now and again. Its very cyclical though. Both with the tasks offered and my anxiety hitting a level that I can make myself obsessively click buttons for hours a day for a few bucks.

    I've been able to get a hundred dollars(ish) in a month doing surveys posted by Universities and Marketing research departments if I spend hours each day clicking through everything possible. But after a few months they dry up and I stop checking the listings. (Probably lines up with grad students schedules). The few actual "help a business do business stuff" are so dodgy for me that it fucks up my Accept/Reject number.

      Yeah I’ve made a couple hundred a month doing Prolific. Not bad considering I try my best to do it during company time lol

          You answer surveys for PHD students, researchers, and corporate focus tests. Most of them the time you get few a couple dimes per study. It’s not much but I get to shit while getting paid. Only thing I hate is having to visually confirm my identity because I don’t trust their storage to not be backed.
