Abstract

Crowdfarms, a new paradigm is expanding opportunities and shifting work practices in crowdsourcing, which has become an international force. Crowdfarms are small, professional companies that undertake relatively large, complex crowdsourced tasks requiring specialized expertise and collaboration. Crowdfarms have developed strategies to procure and manage tasks and methodically manage reputation. Crowdfarm work settings and practices, rewards and challenges, and work/life balance also differ from solo crowdwork, introducing benefits and potential drawbacks.
