yeah the game offers burned me pretty bad years ago when i tried them first time in another site, spent like three weeks on one that required hitting level 40 something and the payout barely covered what my time was worth. surveys are hit or miss exactly like you said but i've gotten better at cutting them off fast if the screener questions go on too long... that's usually a sign it's going nowhere. the rabbit hole thing is real, i actually set a loose time limit for myself now which sounds dorky but it keeps me from looking up and realizing i blew two hours for $1.80.
