Spend 40 minutes and not get paid. They steal your time and money.
How many times can you take a survey to qualify for a survey 10 minutes to do so, then spend over 40 minutes answering questions have the company steal all of your knowledge and information and then tell you at the end of the survey that you didn’t qualify for it. Total BS. This company is not to be trusted. This is not the first time this happened with this company. But after spending an hour of my time, I feel that I have to share this with the world. I contacted them and explained to them the situation and they wrote back and stated they can’t help me. They didn’t take any time to understand that the people who they are enabling are stealing knowledge from their user base. *** Description of the survey was the following; Qualification for a Survey Digital Advertising & Marketing Trends May 21, 2026 9:04 AM A partner of ours would like to survey individuals who are involved in planning, managing, and optimizing digital advertising campaigns to better understand advertising strategies, platform usage, campaign execution, and evolving investment trends across mid-market businesses. The initial screener will take 4–5 minutes, followed by a 25 minute AI-moderated session. **** In summary, they allow people to post surveys, they have users/experts qualify for the surveys, finish the surveys and not be compensated. they allow the survey company to take all of your answers and information that’s worth a lot of money, after you submit, they make up something why they’re not going pay you. To your reply stating that there’s a technical issue, when I asked you about it over email you told me there was no technical issue and this is just how it works and there’s nothing you could do about it.
