You can get by on it if your needs are minimal and you're really efficient, but you'd be better served slinging burgers imo. It takes a lot of research to find what actually pays well, what requesters are trustworthy and when they post new work (good jobs are swarmed on like a 20 dollar bill in a group of crackheads). I was able to make around $450 a month there but it was a truly full-time commitment.

Well, it's not a RANDOM site... it's run by Amazon. Up to you if you trust them or not.
As for the subreddit, they basically only post surveys. I've found that they are wildly inaccurate in terms of estimated time (can be either way though, so I suppose it evens out). I mostly focused on larger tasks like writing paragraphs/reviews/whatever (typically for seo companies) or audio transcription; tasks like that could pay somewhere in the range of $4-5 an hour, but had a lot of competition to snag them. There's also be the occasional honeyhole type simple repetitious task that if you were willing to risk a bad requester (rejects HURT, your approval rating is pretty much your only important stat) could get you $20+ an hour until the task ran out... again, lots of competition.

Yeah it's legit, but most "jobs" don't pay much unless you have special qualifications. I did it with some spare time and made like $70 over the course of a couple months doing simple/quick ones. No idea how many man hours though, definitely far far less than minimum wage.

You would be better off going with something like Swagbucks, Gifthulk, Zoombucks, MyPoints, or InboxDollars. You could also do straight up survey sites.
I personally use InboxDollars and Swagbucks, right now. I make 50-60 dollars a month off Swagbucks, doing not a whole lot. Usually like 30 minutes, at most, a night. As long as you meet the daily bonus, you are set. You get like $5-$6 a month just for meeting daily bonuses. The offer walls pay really well, like some quick credit score signup places that pay out close to a $5 Amazon gift certificate on there. The points match cents, except the $5 Amazon cards are even cheaper. So you can get say 400 swagbucks for signing up to CreditKarma or CreditSesame (Without ever giving a card), then pay 450 Swagbucks for a $5 Amazon card or save up for like a 2500 point $25 paypal deposit.
I usually speed open all the videos and Radium One wall links each day, then do a few quick signups at a spam email account. That is like a $1 something, plus the daily and monthly bonuses. All in like 20 minutes. $30 if I want to do some quick surveys and tack on another $1.
I tried a bunch of sites and Swagbucks definitely pays the best. You can shop through them, too. I built a rather expensive computer with almost all referrals through them, and got quite a bit of cashback. They double the cashback on some sites, sometimes.
For InboxDollars, it doesn't take long to hit $30 and have them send you a check. It is a bit hard after that, but at least take the fir st $30 and fart around at the site until they send you the check.
The others are slower, but if you join and quick hit all the one time use big offers, you can get a $25-$50 gift certificate, then walk away. I got like $35 in gift certificates off from Gifthulk and walked away. They have a special fast cash type wall where it is just quick signups to places. I hit that until I had nothing left, then walked.
The trick is to avoid anything time consuming. You can also do these tasks that you are talking about, using CrowdFlower. They pay you through the same system, for these sites.

Yeah, but that is the point. None of these tasks pay well. I tried a few different places. Other than a random task that pays really well, but ends the first time you do it, you aren't going to make jack doing any of that. I could make $5 on Swagbucks faster than most could make $1 doing tasks and I would be doing a lot less.
Tasks just don't pay well.
