It’s 2019. Stop spreading survey scams. We’re better than that.

Ok, look, I went through my survey scam phase too. Like 3 years ago. I had never been exposed to them before, and I was 19 or 20 years old, didn’t have a job at the time either. So for someone young, dumb, and unemployed with too much spare time, seeing people talk about money online for very little effort looked enticing. So I tried it out. And to my surprise (seriously, why did I think this would work) I got ripped off and screwed over something precious that I would never get back. And that was my time. Nobody knows how much time they have in their lives. So do yourself a favor, and don’t waste a second of yours on these stupid survey posts with empty promises for easy money. Get a real job. You can do it.

Do however, invest a couple minutes to read what I have to say on this.

If you are naive like I was and don’t know why these posts are scams, trust me, they are. You invest a lot of time (many times upwards of half an hour) filling out these tedious TEDIOUS surveys, you have to pay close attention to the questions and answers - some would only let you choose ONE response per option and IT WOULD KNOW if you put the same answer twice (example: rate 5 different brands of cereal 1-5 with only one brand per rating). So if you tried to cheat and just click randomly, they wouldn’t let you. They can cheat you but you can’t cheat them, ok? Sounds fair. And if you accidentally missed anything, sometimes your progress would get erased all together on that page. In fact, you would be lucky that your survey would get submitted and accounted for at all sometimes. Yes, often times toward the end of a survey, it would either “crash”, and I’d lose everything, or it would change its mind and politely inform me that I did not qualify for the survey afterall despite the fact that I was one click away from officially having filled the entire thing out and submitting my answers. You can bet my answers were saved and submitted, but they didn’t want to give me my payout.

Speaking of payouts, the point systems survey scams use are a joke. You get shit for points for each survey, unless you get lucky and “qualify” for a long one worth a more reasonable amount of points and it actually gives you said points at the end. Otherwise, have fun spending hours and hours and hours trying to qualify for the right to these points, and then waiting for them to add up so you can actually get any kind of money or reward. And they always require A LOT of points for VERY LITTLE reward. I’m talking about a 500 point minimum for say, $5. And each survey would only give you….. Eh, 10 points? And they take a long time to complete, so, let me math here…

If you found a site that had 10 minute surveys which paid 10 points each, and assuming that each one you did actually worked and gave you your points, that’s 10 points every 10 minutes. 10 min x 6 = 1 hour, or 6 surveys and 60 points. To reach that $5 minimum at 500 points, you’d need to do surveys for over 8 hours to get there in one day- assuming they don’t have a daily survey limit which many sites do. This is also not accounting for the 5 to literally 30 minute screenings surveys do to see if you qualify (remember when I said they would decide you weren’t qualified until after you were way in and had made a lot of progress? But we’re pretending for da maths that you’re qualified for each one). All for five bucks. That’s quite a long time for a fraction of minimum wage. And every site has a different point system, some would require 1,000 points for only one dollar, but maybe they’re a little more generous with how many points they dish out per survey. I don’t know. Maybe not. So these “blogs” (have you ever actually clicked on one of them to check them out?) are straight up lying about making $50 in one hour or whatever they claim. Because they are spam bots - lying is what they were created to do. In fact they create hundreds of fake profiles to spread this bullshit to real unsuspecting people (take a look at the accounts in the notes sometime if you don’t believe me). It would take you days, probably a couple weeks of doing survey after survey to accumulate $50. The survey sites profit off of people giving up before they ever reach a reward. If you do stick it out for some pay, good luck with the company not locking you out of your account as soon as you reach a reward payout point. It’s happened to people. Look it up.

In fact, research whatever survey site you want to use before you actually use it. Look at people’s testimonies. Real ones. You’ll find them if you look. You’d do the same thing for a job at a company, yes? See what employees have to say about working there before applying? Know what you’re getting into before investing in it, right? This is real money I’m talking about here. Money isn’t free. Why do you think these posts make it look so easy? To get free surveys out of people, because only a small percentage of their users ever get paid. Survey sites aren’t exempt from people calling them out for being unfair. If you take the time to look, you’ll find the pissed off people, because when most normal people get screwed over, they make sure everyone else knows, to protect them and delay profits for the company. Like what I’m doing with this post. Yes, there are legitimate sites out there, but they are far and few between and still take a while to get any kind of payout. In fact, I will only vouch for one site. It was called pinecone research. It was the only truly reliable site I found. There was another one that was actually decent, but they still had way too many surveys I didn’t qualify for and so I won’t bother to mention them because they were still a huge waste of my time. I think I only cashed out once or twice with them. I cashed out multiple times with the one I mentioned, so it actually worked. But again, the progress was slow. And you’d be better off getting a real job.

And if you just wanted to do this on the side, then that’s your choice. Although there are better side gigs. Or even just getting a hobby and building your character. But it’s up to you. But I will say this; even if I’ve been following you for a long time, regularly reblog your content, and you reblog mine, as of this post, if I see another mass survey scam post come from your blog, I will unfollow you promptly. Other than reporting post after post, there’s nothing else I can do but to spread an honest word and get that shit off my dash. So it was nice knowing you. But I’m not for seeing that shit everyday, it’s 2019 this fad should be over now. We should all be smarter than to feed into this by now. Hopefully my message will be seen by those who need to see it and these stupid scams will finally be a thing of the past like they should have been already.
