Title is incorrect. This is not on Mechanical Turk. Tasks like this are not allowed on MTurk as per TOS. The original tweet author says so on the thread.

Correct, the immediate reply from the author was:

>heads up that this is NOT from @amazonmturk! black hat SEO/shady reputation management techniques like this are strictly against amzn's policy. this is from a competing micro task site

The title makes it seem like intentional click-bait, given this.

I didn't read it as being part of MTurk. "Mechanical turk" was a thing for hundreds of years before Amazon named it's service.

In the context of crowdsourced labor, it absolutely implies Amazon.

The title as presented on HN says "Mechanical Turk", not "mechanical turk".
