Pros
University of New OrleansGood pay considering how long the survey is
Cons
TL;DR: survey can be short if you're clean, but wow it's tedious and depressingAt first, you come across the frame. The survey says it will pay $10 in the frame, but the actual pay listed is $9. You also see that the survey will be expected to take 90 minutes. There is a three hour timer, so presumably you can take your time on it. You think this won't be that bad, and you jump in.
The survey starts off with a lot of questions about your drug usage within your family. It gets a bit personal, but you'll only have to answer the questions about drugs that you actually took, which should include alcohol and caffeine.
The survey has a progress bar. It's accurate until you answer all of the relevant questions regarding drug usage, where it jumps from about 10% to 90%. You'll foolishly think it will be over soon, but no. You're hit with a page of 50 questions about yourself.
You answer that page. The progress bar moves a pixel or two. Another page of 50 questions. There are questions that look like and probably attention checks, as they are outlandish, but you haven't seen them before. There are multiple questions like these on each page of 50 questions. You get through this second page, hoping to get to the end. Surely the survey ends somewhere around here, right?
No. There are more pages of 50 questions. The clicking is starting to get to you. You're almost at the end, and the hourly is good enough that there isn't a point in quitting now. You come across a page with 46 questions. This seems like the end of this survey, right?
Nah. There's another section right after this that might as well be the same. Instead of bubbles, it's multiple choice questions for basically the same type of question that you've answered hundreds of times before this. You go to the next page, and you're back to bubbles. There are multiple pages of bubbles again, but there aren't many questions on each page for a reason. Instead, there is a lot of reading you have to do. All of the reading makes you weary, as the survey has been dragging on for a long time already, but again the hourly is good so you slog through it. The bubbles then turn into checkboxes, requiring even more effort and reading. The progress bar has just passed 95% after moving a few more pixels.
The questions start getting more personal. It starts to ask about traumatic events that happened in you and your family's lives. You really don't want to deal with this, but you continue on anyway. Now the questions are starting to repeat theirselves. You know you answered these questions before, but now you're answering them again because one little thing changed that makes the requester want to ask again. After more questions about your sleep and life, the survey goes back to a page with dozens of bubbles in them.
Finally, you see the light at the end of the tunnel. There are questions about how seriously you took this survey. After answering these questions, you get the survey code. You're finally able to put your code into the broken iframe interface and move on.
