Welcome back!

I have been giving my opinion for several hours today. It’s been fun, and yet I have found some ’survey’ sites are not really about the survey, but about selling you “opportunities” to get things.

You get from one page to another and continually are presented with things to sign up for which will most of the time cost money. If you decide to pass on the “opportunities” you might be told that you have to take a pick from gold, silver, or platinum choices, or even some from ALL that are presented to you. That is NOT a survey. It is worse than phone sales. I put my number on the Do Not Call list to avoid irritating sales pitches. Now, I find them in e-mails (I use the delete button a lot), and on sites posing as surveys. YUK

The way I figure it, the TV has more than enough commercials on it; so, why can’t the advertisers be honest and admit that they are selling things and not try to disguise their sites as surveys. It makes me not trust the products being pushed.

Surveys, I thought, were supposed to be about opinions, not selling stuff; but, that’s just my opinion after all.
