Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

I started this study and quickly rejected it.  The questioning was beyond something I would expect - to the extent it was asking how much I would find school children in skirts a sexual turn on. 

I reported it but I doubt will have any effect.  I am broad shouldered and have been around the block, but this made me feel very uncomfortable and I suspect would have got much worse as these questions were at the very beginning. 

I am guilty of not reading the blurb before accepting, but actually I don't think this should be allowed.   The more I read the description, the more sinister it feels. 

I saw that one and gave it a swerve. Not that desperate for 90p

I don't see reading some questions and answering them as desperate but the implied I am. That's what we do with all the surveys just abswer questions. It was for a reputable university and I quickly filled it in in between looking after my family. A few minutes for 90pseened ok,. It's each to their own as to whether we read the blurb and the subject matter and then decline or not. Not sure we need to Shane each other for that. The OP was warning on contebt and I was giving a view that it was outlined and that I gave respect for bot filling in something she felt uncomfortable with. 
At the end if the survey there were kinks to eg sexual health and support websites.

Forgive the typos! Great £6 survey just filled in, a really interesting one. Whether desperate or not am taking my family to the zoo tomorrow with the £119 earnt in 3 weeks which makes me feel proud. Can't wait to see their faces.

Did anyone do the survey below which involved doing certain actions on a fake mobile banking app?

It said 30 mins but took me about 5 mins. I don’t see how it could have taken anyone half an hour but I left it on the last screen for 10 minutes before finishing the study just in case!

High-pressure usability task & feedback on a website/app prototype.

This one just came up and is full when you accept it.  I'm rather glad as I misread the time and 2 hours is just too long, irrespective of reward.  I thought it was 20 mins not 120!

Agree. It sounds  repetitive enough that you’d lose the will to live quite quickly.

Sorry @Winkflower I wasn't implying you were desperate for 90p, I was saying that I'd rather not be exposed to the issues raised in that sort of survey.
