    I noticed that after blocking the researcher yesterday, he was back again today with more of the same - presumably having created a new account. Makes me wonder why he couldn't keep using his original account.

    Is there any reason why you couldn't fill out every survey they offer? I mean, it could work for you effectively being paid 10x the normal amount for giving the same opinion, albeit 10 times. Surely that's up to them to offer it to you once?
    Debt @ LBM 01/11/24 - £14,161.59
    Debt current - £10,845.80

    Supposedly you get bonuses for them so the pay isn't as bad as it seems but you don't really know how much the bonus is. There were some people on Reddit who said they got a $45 bonus but thought it was a mistake. I'm not doing them while I have better paying AI studies available.
    I did 4 of them, they took about 4 or 5 minutes each. Total bonuses 0.40$. So 2.40$ for about 18 minutes work. So under £2. £6.67 hourly rate. Poor paying, but I had nothing else to do at the time.
    I did one but the pay rate is so low that I CBA to do anymore :-)

    I did 4. They were all different, so I doubt the researcher has a problem with people doing more than 1. My bonus amounts were different for each one.

    Lots of fact checking work today. I feel like I might lose access to them so I'm trying to do as many as I can while I still have them. it's difficult though. They're very tiring.

    I’ve just had an an hour and a half long £15 survey pop-up. Unfortunately, I started on the red wine about an hour ago so I have to rule myself out. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I always regret starting the long ones of 45 mins+. I’m either at work so something might come up while I’m halfway through or if it’s the weekend I wonder if I really wanted to spend so much free time doing whats usually a boring survey.  Especially the ones where you have to pay attention in one go like choosing between two words continuously.
