Surveys are the least honest things alive. I used to make pretty decent side money 4-5 hundred average a month( mid early 2000's) for what probably equaled 2 hours a day of work just for company kiss ass answers.

I can't imagine it being any more honest now. Hell it's probably all ai.

You are close on the AI claim.

Back in 2009 a consumer database company did most of the leg work, and cut costs for marketing research firms-departments. They know EVERYTHING. I mean EVERYTHING about you that is in both public, and private databases.

Anything you purchase using a customer rewards card, corporate credit card, debit card, gift card, auto-pay and more. They have it on record along with any other public-private data base they have paid to access.

Now imagine an AI being given access to this same database since 2019.

I can believe it. I bet there is a type of blind bidding with these survey companies and the highest bidder gets to be the "winner" 2nd 3rd place get placed according to their amounts.
