I decided to give a high paying survey a try. Aaaaand got screwed over again...
So the last time I commented about "survey screwing" (new term. just invented. run with it.) it was in reply to someone else commenting about having better luck w/ shorter, lower paying surveys. I was in agreement on this b/c I had been doing the same due to survey screwing when I would attempt (note that wording!) a higher paying one.
Fast forward a bit of time and I decide to give it a go again. I open the app and voila, there is a 60 AB that says it'll take six minutes. Now, we all know that the six minutes is in reference to all of the demographic questions and not the real survey, which you might not even qualify for. Buuuuut...I qualified. And only after answering 17 or so uniquely redundant questions...
The survey was in regard to real estate. I'd tell you more but they made me swear not to tell anyone a word about the proprietary questions (regurgitations of words) that I was trusted w/ like a nuclear football.
I answered every single one honestly and in a timely manner. I always do. It's just my thing. I respect the rule of the game when it comes to those even if I'm not getting a ROI emotionally (cue up the BetterHelp ad).
Between the demo questions and the real survey it took about 20 or so minutes. And then it happens...I get a question saying "Thank you for your participation. This is the last question and will be about your demographic". I answer it and...the buffering wheel spins just a second longer than I'm comfortable w/.
And then the notification that I was screened out and could continue or cancel. That's it. Nothing to click on to complain. At all. But hey, they give me the obligatory 1 AB so there's that...
TL; DR: Survey Screwing...
