Title: Ads during survey
Post by: kjstrukel on October 05, 2020, 03:37:48 am: I just took a Tap survey that was peppered with 20-30 second ads for various products. I'd never seen that before. Kind of annoying, I thought.

Or while you were taking a survey, did it stop for the ads?

Are you talking about the survey where you watch an ad and then answer questions about it? That IS the survey. Just x out of it. I do those all the time and I like them. They are easy, let you express your opinion about ads on tv, and they always pay.

The survey was not about the ads -- the survey would pause while an ad for Tide Pods played with a message at the top "your survey will continue after this advertisement" (or something like that). Then a few more questions and another random product ad with the same message -- after the 3rd ad, I just exited the survey.

I do not remember ever seeing that. I thought you meant the one where you are shown several ads. And seeing the ads IS the survey. Nothing surprises me. The ones behind the survey probably get paid for their ad being shown to x number of people.
