**2018**

- [3128900-010](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-010) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Paying proportionally, up to fifteen times, for the same project output is waste, and the necessity of multiplying work also pushes micro task workers into lower rates with no pay increases.
  > Requiring requesters to pay proportionally (e.g. up to 15 times) for work per project result in waste. The necessity of multiplication of work also subjects micro task workers to lower rates and lack of payment increases.

**2024**

- [4755632-012](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-012) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The necessity of duplicating micro task work depresses worker pay: it subjects micro task workers to lower rates and prevents payment increases, so redundancy based quality control is financed out of worker compensation.
  > The necessity of multiplication of work also subjects micro task workers to lower rates and lack of payment increases.
