Clickworkers are turning against each other | @[email protected]

Brazil’s online gig workers, who power features like social media moderation and AI #Training, are increasingly wary of newcomers.

"Brazilian clickworkers make a living doing small online tasks but pay has dwindled in recent years.

Many now hope that training #GenerativeAI will create a renewed demand for their work. They have become hostile to newer workers, who they feel encroach on these gigs.
[...]
“Remuneration on these platforms has progressively fallen in the past years, especially after the pandemic,” Braz told #RestOfWorld Projects that used to pay $10 an hour a decade ago are now offered for $3.50, she said.

Even though there is no hard evidence proving that an excess of labor is the reason rates have gone down, seasoned turkers are not taking any chances and are increasingly excluding novices from microwork forums."
