Mostly, they have people classify images, such as images of blackholes. With the help of more than a million volunteers around the world this site enables research that would not be possible, or practical, otherwise. This site is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research. I am now attempting a new method, using crowd sourced science. So far I have attempted to use M-Turk (which failed, because of graft), undergrad coders (who are really slow), and two contractors from the Philippines I hired from. The issue is that hiring someone to do this research is expensive, and slow.
