Very interesting observations. Coming from a country where for some people regular survey participation is an important additional income, I wondered (and actually some of them too) about the data quality. Curious about the results outside of the US too.
How common are “survey professionals” - people who take dozens of online surveys for pay - across online panels, and do they harm data quality?
Our paper, FirstView at @politicalanalysis.bsky.social, tackles this question using browsing data from three U.S. samples (Facebook, YouGov, and Lucid):

A lot of psych is already conducted with online convenience samples & ppl are probably excited about silicon samples bc it would allow them to crank out more studies for even less 💸
How about we reconsider the idea that sciencey science involves collecting own data.
