Explanation from the Quora / Mechanical Turk Spammer

The guy sounds like a moron, but one that knew exactly what he was doing, rather than the ignorant & innocent moron he tries to claim to be. Total BS explanation.

Regardless of if he is a moron or not...

He made a mistake. Haven't we all at some point? He admits his guilt and apologizes. That is more than most people. (the Palin woman's spokesperson saying those are not gun-sights for example).

I doubt he learned his lesson, but it is still an interesting read.

I call BS on him. No way he can be as savvy a marketer as he claims and not know the implications of getting caught for what he's doing...

No one just wakes up one morning and thinks, "Oh yes, Mechanical Turk, I've been meaning to try that out...."

tl;dr Upvotes don't necessarily reward quality, and if your post doesn't get upvoted, tough luck.
