I signed up with Y-Live 6 weeks ago but no surveys yet despite me emailing them 3 times - any ideas

Maybe nothing for your demographics? I had 3 last week worth a total £10.

I found it very slow at first. My first couple of payouts took many months to achieve but it's become more regular the longer I've been a member. 

I vaguely remember a comment made by someone to make sure to do every survey they offer you. I did, even when I seemed to be screened out more than accepted. Not sure if that's what made a difference or just coincidence.

I’ve been a member there since the end of October last year and I’m on 41 points. So it’s a slow process but i keep plugging away. I do go weeks without anything.

Think its been maybe 2 months in and I've just hit the £50 threshold. It is relatively slow going but its worth sticking with.

I tend to get enough surveys to have 3-4 payouts a year. 
Some months I only get a few points, others considerably more.

The latest thing I get in surveys is after several questions I've done 0% of the survey because the first few questions are the same ones repeated two or three times - apparently they're supposed to be like that but it's so annoying. I also get a lot of surveys that say they are a test of memory and the meaning/understanding of words, with a word and various options, and I have to select the one the word relates to, then a question like 'Do you know what 'iulbybybyb' means?' and one like 'Do you remember the name of every single person you have ever spoken to in your entire life?'.

I thought this was just me it was happening to! Look, ive said the previous image is a clock now i have to identify the contents of a room, just let me past!

I hate the late disqualifiers. Ive had so many lately where ive got to the end and ive been rejected. Its so annoying, and ive wasted my own time and opinion for nothing!

For the last couple of months I've had problems with OpinionWorld - not receiving surveys, my login and/or the 'Login with Google' button not working - they keep saying to keep using my account I need to scan my photo ID, which I don't have - I even ordered a voter ID certificate just to log in with OpinionWorld, but they wouldn't accept it - I even re-registered an account with my alternate e-mail address because they said as I didn't have photo ID they would cancel my account. Then a few days later my account was working, so I cancelled my alternate e-mail account. A couple of days ago they started asking for photo ID again, and after a couple of e-mails back and forth with them saying to use my photo ID and them saying it wasn't accepted, and me saying I don't have/won't get photo ID, they now say they've permanently cancelled my account.

Thanks for the info MSE it's been really helpful. Comment updated one month into my survey journey.

My faves are Prolific, Ipsos and Ylive. All very good and pay well. I am also on YouGov but the surveys are not very frequent I just like giving my opinions.
