Getting screened out at the very end of a 40-minute survey is starting to feel like a scam!
Let's talk about the massive amount of time wasted trying to complete surveys, only to get hit right at the very end with messages like:
- "The survey provider has closed this survey."
- "There are no more spots left."
- "Unfortunately, they already have all the responses they need."
That second one is especially stupid. How are they going to wait until I finish the entire survey to tell me there are "no more spots"? There are SO MANY MORE variations of these BS messages. I’ve been using Prime Opinion for about a year now, so I know this is considered "normal" here. But today it happened to me over 10 times on surveys that took between 15 and 40 minutes to do. It is absolutely horrible.
It's unbelievable that Prime Opinion NEVER takes responsibility. Everyone here knows that the moderators will always find a way to blame the survey provider. Nothing new there.
Honestly, lately, this feels like a straightup scam between the platform and the survey providers. It seems IMPOSSIBLE to me that Prime Opinion and these providers cannot develop some sort of basic system where a survey simply stops showing up for people the second it closes or fills up. Why let us waste our time and have a miserable experience?
I completely understand why this platform gets so many complaints now. It seems like they have absolutely zero interest in working things out with the providers or implementing a technical fix to stop this from continuing to happen.
