I am sensing that on some of the survey sites, things are not just up to chance. That people are intentionally manipulating things on the sites to say for example start over. I don't know the name of the exact feature, but say a video will play for maybe a minute and then it is supposed to go to number 2 in the sequence, it will just keep playing over and over at 1. And some model in another video will be like I already know what it will do, it is set to keep starting over, it won't go past one. And then the model will wait for you to click on the video, they know what will happen after a min or whatever, and then they will wait for you to go back to the page you selected it from, on which they are featured and be like, see, it must have worked that way, and I guess claim they knew what you were gonna do. Otherwise, they will "listen in", and perhaps watch ("peep" in) or listen to see how upset you get and what your reactions are. They may even hear your thought and not just spoken words. I guess they might then try to judge and assess you, I do not know. Why are they doing this? Do they need the money? How can I make them really mad? Blah. Blah. But, maybe not. It depends. Most people claim they are here to hit. Most people are too obsessed with one person. Most people are just trying to pass money to "Matt's" team. They might try to let people that they don't think are on "Matt's" team have access to the survey or video stream. This money is for our people. It ain't even their money. They didn't give money to any of the sites. None. It's just the sites money. They don't have much money of their own. They look for other people's money, other people that give out money, to use their money, to claim it is too much, and hit on. If they are on Matt's team, they can only hit Matt's team. But, they need to share the money. The second issue might be that they think that the have to give everyone whatever one person gets. It might be true. Or it might not be true.   

Okay, I could not even get all the way thru this. You make no sense whatsoever. On anything you post.

Let me explain it to you - The companies behind the surveys want people's opinions. Most people who do the survey are giving honest opinions. The company promises to pay x amount of money for people's opinions. They claim there are no right or wrong answers. That is false. If it were true we would not get kicked out of the surveys. You would finish no matter how you answer the questions. Companies kick you out when you are answering questions that will not give them the end results they want to say they get.

Whether they actually pay the survey taker or not you can bet they will use their answers. The who point of my orig post was that if you spend the time taking the survey and you complete the survey then you should be paid. They should not be able to after you submit the last question say "oh sorry you didn't QUALIFY to take this survey.  Then WHY after answering all the per-qualifying questions was I allowed to continue.  This is happening more and more and to a lot of people not just me.

Read the threads, and assuming you can understand better than you post, you will see there are quite a few who are complaining about this very same thing and have stopped doing the surveys because they are tired of wasting their time and not getting paid the promised amount.

And NO, the survey is not spying on you.  It isn't watching you and it isn't listening to you and certainly cannot hear your thoughts. But if you answer the questions you freely give up quite a bit of info about yourself. And they do have your real name and your address (most may not know that is provided to them by FC or what ever site you are going thru) and they can use that info to market to you even if they promise they won't do it.

I took a survey about car insurance and one of the companies mentioned (prob the one behind the survey) has sent me about 500 things in the mail from all my surrounding counties.  And the funny thing is I said I would NEVER purchase their ins and I won't.

An update to my first post - I still have not heard any kind of a reply from either of the tickets I submitted. Don't know if I will ever hear anything. I don't expect to receive any compensation but would like for them to acknowledge me and that there is a problem.

Give them some more time to respond. It has been a holiday week and it sometimes takes a while even when it isn't a holiday week :)
