Few have the power to create crowd markets. Existing marketplaces may thus not embody workers’ or requesters’ needs. In this paper, we imagine a future where anyone could create the crowd markets they desire. We study the characteristics of the markets that 40 workers and 40 requesters from Amazon Mechanical Turk propose. We uncover that workers pushed for marketplaces that either empowered workers to set their own salaries without requiring a minimum wage or had intelligent algorithms that could automatically decide the salaries while also ensuring everyone received a minimum wage. Requesters were consistent in their preference of paying by commission and preferred markets that automatically set the salary. Both workers and requesters advocated for mechanisms to ensure quality and flexible time schedules in the market. We conclude by discussing design implications from our findings.
