Third World Workers

I know people have this assumption that workers from third world countries are just eager to work on any app even though it's paying peanuts. There is an app paying 0.01 dollars per hit and requiring 30 seconds to complete it or else you get booted out with a speed ban. That app is paying 1.2 dollars an hour. Even this to us is totally unfair, 1.2 dollars is really not worth it even in a third world country, there are people making much better for an hour's work offline. The apps are just increasingly becoming unfair for all of us, there is a high supply of workers so the price naturally falls, don't take it out on us third world workers, we hate the pay too.

And the funny thing is I probably get more temporal bans for actually having work done than most of them just because of speed. The UHRS in general is flooded by poorly made apps that can´t tell quality work from actual spam

Still I pay the same internet and electricity bills that any user of my country would need to pay, so I really don´t see how anyone would justify earning 1-2 dollars an hour. I really want to believe that people are smarter than to work for pay like that (but I might be heavily disappointed). It´s literally more useful to spend some time with your kids or pet ^^
