Absolute state of this letter I got posted through the old timey method from Google, we want to monitor everything you do on all the technology in your house as part of a survey and here's a £5 voucher for your fucking troubles... Really!? Are there people out there gullible desperate enough for this shite?? Brazen neck on the cunts, I would've loved this to be a person calling at my door promoting this, it would've been glorious tearing them apart for this bullshit

I got something like that last year from Google, and I think it was for a similar thing, but it seems like it paid quite a bit more, like a $150 gift card or something? Either way, I filed it in the trash post haste.

The Nielsen company pays me more to fill out little sheets of paper about what TV shows I like.

 

[Soodanim]

At first I was shocked, but it's so absurd that all I can do is laugh. Five fucking quid.

I did Nielsen several years ago and got $7 when it was worth something. I would not want google doing this.

 

[BlackTron]

They already take as much as they can get as-is, only reason they bribe five bucks is to put literal hardware in your house so they can take even more.

 

[ahtlas7]

Nice, your info is worth half a pint.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Why are you blaming Google and not shit people whose time is not worth a damn?

 

[Outlier]

WOW! A whopping 5Monies voucher!
You could buy a whole... bag of Doritos. What a deal.

I'd rather gamble my money.

 

[Fbh]

Yeah it's pretty insane that anyone would agree to this for £5.
Not only are you inviting google to spy on you even more than normal, but the whole interview process and having to set up the devices sounds like an annoying time commitment

 

[12Goblins]

I feel like this is just exploiting poor people and should be illegal

Some needs to let Google know what a pint or a packet of fags costs in the UK.

 

[jufonuk]

£5 an hour for the duration. And a free laptop.

 

[West Texas CEO]

5 quid is 5 quid.

 

[Pakoe]

Lmao these motherfuckers are trippin

 

[DigitalScars]

I got one as well and had pretty much the same reaction. I'd expect a ton more compensation for the amount of spying they'd be doing.

The fuckers want you to do a video interview as well to apply? lol

 

[lmimmfn]

Joke is all on you guys, I'm all signed up and 5 quid richer!!!

I once had an offer to trial an iptv service for a year, had to fill in a form every few months... For my troubles I got a free set top box (with channels), router and broadband. I got to keep the kit at the end of it. That was just about worth it.

 

[22:22:22]

Just say yes and obey.

As if they don't already..

 

[22:22:22]

Would trust Google atm anyways? Smh.
