And I get a kick out of watching the BP transformed into more USD. I've challenged a few other survey companies lately for disqual me right in the middle of a survey or after a half hour of work. They always apologize and credit me for the money. But I've dropped many of them.
Well, I was born in England and have dual citizenship, which is why I have this issue. Lots of UK surveys on Prolific obviously, but they don't always think to check if people actually live there -- I haven't lived there since I was 10 years old, so most of them simply don't apply to me. Just annoying when you get a few pages into a survey before it becomes obvious. The downside of Prolific's prescreening is that you end up answering lots of pointless screening questions (for free!) for surveys that are long gone or you'll never qualify for just to make them go away. Things like "Have you ever had an injury to the head that's caused you to be knocked out and/or dazed and confused for a period of time (E.g. from a fall, blow to the head, road traffic accident)?" That was obviously for some specific survey in the past and no longer matters, but it is still there.
it's not that uncommon to see in consent forms they would want to ask it again anyway if it was more than a few months out of date there's a word for it, you'll probably see the requirement now on a bunch of hits I'm more selective now about answering older profile questions I had some glitch where they flagged my account for several months I could do nothing. they had a difficult time understanding that I wasn't going to invalidate all the responses then answer them all again. it took them a few tries to unglitch me you can't see what the questions were so you have no idea if some answers are still valid, it's a deeply flawed system although it works ok for the standard stuff
