I've also done some on Appen and I've playtested games with PlaytestCloud. And I made over 11,000 dollars on UserTesting (spread out over many years). With UT you do about 15 minutes of user experience testing of an app or website while narrating what you're thinking and get $10. But the bigger money there is with the Zoom discussions that can be an hour or hour and a half. I've heard they have longer, but haven't seen those. The live sessions can sometimes end early so the money you make per minute is great. The hour sessions are $60.
Another one I've used is the app DScout which is somewhat similar. But for all of these you have to be the right demographic to get accepted to the tests. You also have to have the free time to spend applying to them (and often you find out you don't get accepted after doing that). I can see why some people might not want to do all that work and get discouraged. But it really helped me out when I was working from home all the time.

I appreciate you listing other micro-jobs people can look at and your experience with them. - James
