Date: 2020-07-16 09:04 pm (UTC)Good evidence! Pretty much everything I know about surveys-for-money/rewards is dated - my mother says she used to do them when she was younger and enjoyed them then, but still stopped when the rewards got worse and she had other more important things to do.
(To be fair her job is "government social research consultant" so on some level she just switched to the other side of the equation.)
re: enjoyment - doing surveys might be fun but probably not *that* fun, and I make a point of not seeking out totally open-ended technically-constructive-but-not-contributing-to-core-life-plan activities because I need to either sink my effort into the important effort-sinks I already have (i.e. study, keeping my room clean, making sure I eat well, social life) or into fun things (the last two items on that list plus reading reading and more reading). There are many video games that I do not play for this reason or emotional reasons similar to it.
