I don't like when you go through an entire 45-60 minute tv programming survey and get to the QA and get disqualified because I failed to remember the name of a character or something.

Many surveys do include attention checks especially with higher paying ones to ensure that people actually are paying attention before they pay out

It's also possible to get disqualified at any point during a survey because quotas are continuously being met

Exactly why I focus on the short low paying ones,

I agree...rather do 3 short ones and get a little less, than take all that time and get disqualified...

I think I did something like that when fall programming was being evaluated constantly toward the end of 2015.  I remember those because they took so long to complete, but they did credit.  Fast-forward to today, I seldom see these.  Sorry for your ordeal.  I got one the other day about a new primetime show being considered; it was relatively short and I completed it...then got the DQ.  Ugh!

Yes, it's very frustrating to spend a lot of time on a survey or even some of the tasks are like that, just to not receive a darn thing but a waste of your time. I have worked on tasks where it is still on quiz mode, just to have it say at the end that there are no more available. I worked on a survey for almost an hour and got nothing! Some days are better than others, that's for sure  :-\

Yeah, that is super frustrating. But alas, onward and upward!

It happens to all of us.  Just when you think you are home free, you get that dreaded notification.  It's just part of it, and the reason I take only short surveys unless I am in need of the money to cash out.  On the flip side of that, who can tell if a "short" survey" will really be short?  This week I tried a "6 minute" survey, and was progressing nicely until I got to a page that said the survey would take 20 minutes!!!  Expect the unexpected.

Sometimes it is hard to know how long surveys will take.  Some say 15 minutes, but go longer than that.  So, I have a hard time trusting what the time says.
