dawn_b_adams Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Wow! Part of the headline reads "enhancing market leadership in high-quality, proprietary data". Hahahahahaha! OMG, if that isn't total bs, I don't know what is! JMHO, Branded was a crappy survey site to begin with. So Dynata taking them over won't really make anything much worse. Or will it? I just find this so funny. After seeing numerous complaints regarding Branded, I decided not to sign up with them. Good thing I didn't sign up with them. I think eventually, Dynata will own all the survey sites. Talk about a monopoly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crmag9977 Posted June 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 IDK if branded will be any worse or not . It’s possible Dynata wanted their panel, the data and the members ( not the technology) and won’t change much. Who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn_b_adams Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 I have seen that survey sites that Dynata takes over tend to change for the worse. We will have to wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach6 Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 I don't do very well with them now so probably won't make much difference for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaznanJungle Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I have been doing pretty well with Branded Surveys since I joined them in May 2022. I certainly hope this doesn't end up giving me one less option when I want to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce65 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I read somewhere that you can't be a member of more than one Dynata survey site. Is this true? What survey sites do they own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crmag9977 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 You can’t have more than one account for a single site , but you can be a member of different ones. They own a bunch . A lot of people do peanut labs surveys on more than one site , and they’re Dynata . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What survey sites do they own? I don't think they can stop you, after all you belonged to other sites when they bought them. So what are they gonna do, kick everybody off because they belong to another of their sites, I don't think so, and they would probably have a lawsuit on them if they did. If they do have that policy and want to enforce it then they would have to disband the other sites when they buy them, or combind them all into one site. That's my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldchap Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Dynata has become so crap when I see survey is one of theirs (usually redirected from another site) I just abort Better than getting screened out after 30 minutes or more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just signed up today. I didn't know Dynata acquired them. I'm signed up with One Opinion for years and it was my favorite but they have acquired that site too. I have had no luck with One Opinion since then. I used to cash out at least every 3-4 months. Now, nothing. Bad omen with Branded Research. I can see I'll have the same luck with them. In fact, I tried 4 surveys and was DQ'd. I might just quit ALL survey sites. No luck anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schludermann Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 I’m not sure what the context for “high quality communities”. But i think months before the sale, branded was pumping for a purchase and did this by the daily five penny survey. They were asking, how happy are you with branded, branded support, how many panels do you participate in and stuff in that ilk. Before I bailed, there was a very revealing penny poll. The How many panels response indicated a highly insular population. Meaning only a very small portion of the members did any besides branded. I think this is a very useful means to get survey results that fit an answer with minimal scrubbing. Because branded maintains a very large data pool on each member and you can see yours under the “MyData” link from the member dashboard. They can herd panelists that will qualify for surveys of specific focus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve2021 Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 With Dynata taking over so many survey panels, it seems they have become a monopoly that is detrimental to the industry and to consumers who use these panels. They are by far, the worst company out there. The Better Business Bureau has thousands of complaints against them for shady operations, cancelling accounts, not paying people what they've earned, etc. It's too bad that a government agency can't take steps to break up their monopoly on the market. It's just a matter of time before they buy out the few remaining independent companies like Paid Viewpoint.com, Prolific, Ipsos, Pinecone research and a few others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
