Core finding

Enjoyment outranks even the money. A Verasight survey conducted May 22-24, 2024, finds that most Americans (57%) say they take part because they like to do surveys.

Nearly half (49%) also point to the incentive, and 27% say the topic was interesting. Smaller shares say it wasn't too long (17%) or had good visual design (10%), and 2% cite something else.
