Outsourcing small digital tasks. In Europe, no service like Amazon's Mechanical Turk exists. And MT does not accept customers from outside the US.

MTurk itself is not perfect and could use many improvements. Amazon has been absent from the project itself for a long time and provides minimal support and there is a lot of criticism over them changing their fee structure in a few weeks that may or may not lead to a decrease in tasks and/or pay. https://requester.mturk.com/pricing

What are some examples of digital tasks you'd like to outsource? Do any of them require access to your personal information?
