    I've not done any of these studies as my screen resolution isn't what they needed. I'm still offered them. It's getting to ridiculous numbers though - over 500 of these studies this morning. I haven't blocked the researcher as I'd thought maybe they might have other studies I'd want to do.

    Thanks very much, george4064 and Value. That is reassuring because I was beginning to wonder if it was maybe as a result as something like a virus. The scan I did on my laptop was clear.

    Yep I have 300 of them currently sitting on my dashboard ha. I do actually do these when I have time as I find them fairly interesting and easy and they end automatically on 15 mins, so I don't have to remember when I started like with some of the AI ones. And they pay immediately once submitted. BUT I have to change my laptop display resolution setting each time I do a batch, which is annoying! If they are still there this afternoon after work then I'll do a bunch - but definitely not 300 😂

    Be honest! They'll pick up on inconsistencies if you repeatedly change your answers in the 'About me' for example.

    And remember that these are mostly academic studies, on which somebody's PhD may depend - they are not like the sort of surveys you get on other portals where people sometimes just enter the answers they think are wanted. Be truthful, be honest, and you will be well paid!

    I'm assuming some or maybe most surveys will be for pc? And are they restricted to chrome browser?
