Cliche01 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I've found myself lately giving up on surveys in the middle of them and saying to heck with it all. Sometimes it's length, being poorly written, being repetitive or just not being interesting (why do surveys ask what products you do use, then focus on the ones you say you don't). Anyone else gone through a phase like this where you feel like do I really want to put up with this nonsense for just a few points or cents? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkapirate Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 YES. I've been feeling this way a lot lately. We put so much time and effort into these surveys, for minimal rewards. I've been doing this for a very long time, but I don't think I'm going to do it for much longer. It just doesn't seem worth it anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have done that lately I don't want to do a long survey for 50 cents I will just close it because I don't want to start putting any old answer in just to finish that is not something I feel good about so just close is the better option 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkergirl Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Yeah I am feeling it more and more lately .I am really tired of Ipsos start doing the survey and after answering several questions then they come back with OOPS sorry and here is 5 points . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-a-Sucker Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Ditto. I don't know if it's because I was on vacation for a few weeks, and didn't do any, or I'm just sick of the abuse and lousy pay after 8 years. I'm seriously considering dumping the bulk of the sites, and sticking with a select few. I just don't need to aggravation for a lousy 20 cents. But I know what you mean about dumping them in the middle. After so long, you just know the crappy ones (what time do you watch each of these 150 channels). I don't even bother with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeah, what time do you watch each of these 150 channels, how many times have you been to a restaurant, rented a movie, shopped at a particular store, bought a particular item in the past year, as if people keep a list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Yes on what Cliche01 just said about the 150 channels. The worst thing to me is when you get to the demographics, think you're at the end and then they start all over with questions. Or they start out like a normal survey and when you're 15 minutes into it, they hit you with hundreds of boxes on each page. That's when I just leave. Other times I say "I've gotten this far, not going to quit now" (which is why they do this to us). I have written to companies about this but they don't care. I guess many of us are feeling the same. I see 100 invitations on my email in the morning and sometimes just delete all of them. Depends on my mood but I am getting tired of doing these. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkergirl Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I feel bad about it but sometimes after doing tons and tons of stupid if the place was a person how would they be I start clicking all the boxes .On Epoll they are always asking about tv shows .So many in fact I am always hoping they have a bunch I have either never heard of or only have heard of so i can zip through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach6 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I refuse to do the ones that have 50 or more grids not worth the aggravation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach6 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I love it when they say there are no wrong answers well why did you DQ me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfree Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 How about what credits cards do you have - how much you spend on each one each month .How much do you spend each day- how many times do you go to the bathroom- how many times do you open a door- and best of all how many times do I say screw you I don't have the time for this?Ya life is to short and I'm to fed up .I wish I had the DQ button to give to them............it may be called a middle finger but they haven't invented a key for that on my keyboard. Sorry ........but sometimes the way they treat us sparks anger management issues in me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulgro Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Some times you just have to stop for a few days or longer. What everyone is feeling is being burnt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah123 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I used to be a member of a bunch of survey sites, now I'm only on Pinecone, Mintvine, and One Opinion. And only OO has been consistently decent over the past few years, though they're starting to get really cheap lately - lots more DQs and less high-dollar surveys. Same with Mintvine (and I rarely get points for being disqualified anymore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
