Despite scam artists at Crowdflower padding this site with positive reviews, this is a company that will throw you under the bus no matter how great of a contributor you are. Back in 2010 the CEO... of Crowdflower, Lukas Biewald is quoted as saying the following when giving a presentation to a group of techies: “Before the Internet, it would be really difficult to find someone, sit them down for ten minutes and get them to work for you, and then fire them after those ten minutes. But with technology, you can actually find them, pay them the tiny amount of money, and then get rid of them when you don’t need them anymore.” Crowdflower now make profits of around $3 million per year. Many of their tasks pay less than $0.03 and take in excess of 5 minutes to complete, meaning hourly earnings for Crowdflower workers of around $0.25. Need I say more?
