The Role of Mechanical Turks in Institutional Review Boards

The average Mechanical Turk worker has probably seen at least dozens if not hundreds of times by now. They often pay Amazon's princely sum of about 10 cents per expected minute, based on the minimum wage in whatever benighted nought-seer Amazon Mechanical Turk launched. A lot of these are from students, probably just practice research by someone who likely has less experience with the platform than the worker themselves. The problem the requester has, at least of around 2018, is that there is a lot of fraud with foreign workers getting access to mechanical Turk accounts and submitting totally garbo data.
