Yep

It's an investment because the more lucrative jobs require turks have hundreds or thousands of successfully completed tasks. So people will take one penny jobs simply to build credibility.

It depends, $0.01 might be worth something in a very poor country.

But on the other hand if you have access to a computer a poor country, 1 cent might not be worth your time anyway.

You can use MTurk on phones I assume? Even very poor people often have smartphones and data where I am living (Tanzania).
