Most people don't treat surveys like a part-time job. They take them because it's (for them) a fun thing to do in a few minutes of spare time.

Excuse me, when did this turn into a question of whose life is more valuable? Personal attacks, even if not directed at a specific person, are really uncalled for here. Some people choose to spend hours a week watching their favorite TV shows for ZERO compensation... I'd imagine even you do that. Is that worth their while? Please don't judge people for what they choose to do in their spare time, whether that's watching TV, watching paint peel, or filling out surveys for what you perceive to be negligible compensation. We all have our hobbies.
