    You are paying with your data. Data is worth a lot. In fact, they’re even stealing it from you.

        surveys.gobranded.com

        There are tons of sites for this, it was a lot more popular a decade ago before sites realize they could just steal it

        Go fill some surveys for Google Play Store credits or something.

        There are services out there that will pay you (either real cash or with points) to fill out surveys all day. They’ll pay you less than they’d pay someone like Facebook though, since people are more truthful on these platforms than when filling out these surveys.

        It’s sold already by data brokers.

    Well, you could. Taking part in surveys in exchange of monetary compensation is a side hustle for many.

    And on the other side is sourcing data a huge expense for many research endeavours.

    That’s why everybody is buying from Google & Facebook. Because they offer it for relative low cost.

    Only if you think your time and personal information are free.

    You might want to work on your self-worth and business sense if you think that.
