I’ve gotten a virtual assistant through it that has saved me massive amounts of time and sanity (at around 5$ per hour at start and 7$ per hour now with base rate of 5$ per week)
I’ve also gotten scripts made and a translation to Japanese done for my friends thesis
if anyone has a thing they’re thinking of posting there lemme know and I can probably give advice. If you’re interested in getting a virtual assistant, I can point you to the post I made and how you could try to get one too (I offered 5$/hr 4 hours a week and got 20 literally applicants)
For those that don’t know it exists, r/slavelabour (not literal slave labour) is a great place to outsource things (https://www.reddit.com/r/slavelabour).

Bountied rationality (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1781724435404945/) also exists but is much more expensive since less efficient market with fewer people clustered in countries with higher wages.

The idea sounds interesting. I have absolutely no idea what quality of work should I realistically expect.
Looking at the subreddit didn’t help me with this question: I only see people debating money and type of work, but I can’t see any samples.
Yeah, maybe it’s cheap enough to simply try it. Maybe 3× spend $5 on one hour of someone’s work, and then decide whether it’s worth it on average.
I’ve generally found quality good for things I’ve requested and when it isn’t it isn’t hard to just say ‘no this is not what I expected try more’
