Why Do Sites Make You Fill in Surveys Before You Can View Premium Content?
The attitude that visitors are just tools to make cash on the internet has lead to innovations in ways to make money from users; one such example of this is through the use of CPA surveys. The site's publisher, often using the services of a third party, online marketing company, makes users fill out surveys before they can view a site's "premium" content. The advertising firm gets paid for making you to fill in consumer research surveys for companies, getting you to register on sites or wasting your time doing something else as equally laborious. The website, which published the survey, then gets a small share of the profit. In summary people make money by using your time!
What makes the use of content blocking surveys even worse, is that often the content, promised to the user after they complete a survey, rarely exists!
It the exploitation of users via the use of content covering surveys, that this project aims at stopping.
