I understand the pressures. I just got tenure myself. But when I look at a study in which turkers are crucial.. Well.

Maybe a turker panel could turn out to be fine? But as a category, it is structurally suspect. And how do you know? sigh

Panels (you mean longitudinal?) don't have the same biases. If you got people doing a single study, it's ok to pay them.

Imperfect randomness problem plagues current research but that's like patient has fever vs patient has no lungs.

Ease of research like this means this will unlikely go away; and esp. non-social science outlets will accept them.
