Well, consider that Dynata has many clients, some of whom have those low-point surveys, some with surveys that are more rewarding for the participants. It seems logical that if presented with 5 surveys each worth 1.5 points, and 5 more surveys each worth four or five points, most people are going to try to answer as many of the higher point surveys as possible. But if very few people are attempting the low point surveys, what happens to Dynata's clientele (the survey companies that employ Dynata as well as the customers who want survey results) if those companies look at the number of survey attempts and they're very low? I would think they would not be happy about doing further business with Dynata.

If attempting to answer those cheap surveys is the unofficial entryway to the goodies, then Dynata can effectively goose up the raw numbers of attempted surveys they present to those clients. And if it's true that a large number of people are getting disqualified, as far as I know that's not Dynata's problem, as they just administer the surveys.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
