I hate the ones that go on about 'rejection'. It's as though they are trying to wriggle out of paying. Certainly seen worse than that one. 10p one minute study, took 15 minutes.sammyjammy said:
How does that even get to the stage where it is offered to people! The cheek of the aggressive message as well. My time is much more valuable than that.olgadapolga said:This has to be the worst paying study I have seen to date:
yupiteru said:Studies for consumers
By Lukas Maier£0.90 • £6.43/hr8 mins0 placesIn this survey, we will ask you to generate some ideas and to give us your opinion about a new product.Appears to be three short studies in one, of course that could just be part of the plan.You have to come up with some ideas and opinions at first, that took me a little time to think about and then give an opinion about a product in the last section.Not sure how long it took as my browser (Firefox 104.0.2) crashed half way through and it took forever to reload.Then when it reloaded it lost what i had typed so had to do it again - how I laughed.1 -

A Survey in Decision-Making
By ugent.be£2.40 • £12.03/hr11 mins0 placesThis is a survey in decision-making. We will ask you to take decisions in several interactive situations.Managed to get a place on this one which is a bit of a novelty lately.There is a bonus available, but I doubt that will amount to much as I was not entirely clear what was going on from the instructions.Maybe I had not drunk enough tea yet as it was very early in the morning.Perhaps my randomness will pay off
Well knock me down with a feather, clever Trevor, I just got a £6.00 bonus payment from the researcher for my efforts. I was expecting pennies at best.Just goes to prove (maybe) that randomness can be advantageous at times.

Only had three spaces when I lucked onto it. Didn't notice how much time it took, but it seemed as advertised and was funMakingabobor2 said:

And now a rather niche geographic one, only open to people living in Bristol.
Luckily I do. A decent end to an otherwise sparse day0 -

I had a well paying one pop up at about 11.30 last night. Sadly the 75 minutes estimated time took it well past my bed time.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
