Regarding your study idea. Sounds good! Would be interesting to see, and as you rightly point out wouldn’t be too complicated/expensive to run. It’s generally a challenge to run multi-year studies of this sort due to the short-term nature of many grants/positions. But certainly not impossible.
An issue that you might have is being able to be sure that any variation that you see is due to changes in the general population vs changes in the sample population. This is an especially valid issue with MTurk because the workers are doing boring exercises for money for extended periods of time, and many of them will be second screening media etc. A better sample might be university students, who researchers fortunately do have easy access to.
