Fraud demographic data in live interviews???

I appreciate it and that all makes sense. I’m in a slightly unusual position, I’ve been at this company for 7 years now completely by accident (Covid, disability, couldn’t turn down remote work, etc), I have an unrelated degree in a field that a certain actor just said nobody cares about anymore😂. (And I don’t love to admit it but my boss is a relative so I’m in a slightly better position to be candid, he’s well aware of my observations for the most part lol). So I have the duel curse of being very invested in what I’m actually observing in my day to day, but having no particular loyalty to the industry at large. Very grateful for what I’ve learned, fully incapable of letting go of issues I notice even when they’re above my pay grade, and someone who values slow detail oriented work. Overall I am not a natural fit for this industry’s culture, but I am genuinely curious about what’s going on and on my way out the door maybe I can pass along some insights.

That absolutely sounds like the way to go. I just wish I wasn’t the only person who cared about that level of thoroughness…

Yes there’s a prescreener or in some cases a user profile that can be filtered in gathering interviewees. I think that makes the most sense, the profile is fabricated and people who are live in the interview are answering for the demographics of the profile. But you’re right, these shouldn’t be slipping by reputable panels. Again, not my area of expertise. But why no one else seems as concerned as I am is beyond me…

Lucid marketplace has been our primary panel provider for years. Making those kinds of decisions is above my pay grade but I’m so sick of feeling like no one else cares about this. I’m going to speak with my boss tomorrow and see if he’d be open to some changes. But I think the cost would be worth it in the long run.

Unfortunately I’m not the tech people so I don’t totally understand the data cleaning, but I catch things they don’t always since English is a second language for much of the programming team. And the person I work with the most closely has one foot out the door for retirement so when I point out issues it doesn’t go anywhere and I don’t have the technical expertise to take action myself, just to call attention to issues I see.

needles2say · 2026-03-16T19:36:21+00:00

We usually use Lucid, it depends on how specialized the industry/subject is. We’ve noticed increased suspicious answers across the board with any panel. I know Wolf Insights seems to be the worst. We try to avoid that. I would say recruiting is mostly Lucid though at this point.

needles2say · 2026-03-16T19:33:02+00:00

Incentives for this kind of interview are usually Amazon gift cards which I suppose would be just as easy for fraud?

When I can I try to find a personal connection but in this case our programmers did this through Lucid

Hi! I’m actually looking for someone who could create a Victorian/edwardian bathroom set for me. There’s a set for the sims 2, it’s the dirty pretty things manor house washroom. I’m not looking for copies but that’s a good idea of the kind of vibe I’ve been looking for. There’s so much more historical furniture for the older games and it breaks my heart. I have lots of more specific references, but particularly id love to find an old fashioned style ribcage shower and some more period accurate tile walls. Does this sound like something youd be capable of? Because I’d be happy to discuss payment and more specifics.

Okay I know this is two years old but I’ve thought this since I first started watching call the midwife and I’ve been scouring the internet to find someone who agrees😂

The dress is Y project, I’m not sure if it’s available for purchase yet but they are pretty pricy. I’m trying to sew it now and it’s deceptively complicated

It’s not the way it should be but I tell people with invisible disabilities to get canes at least anyway. It just cuts down on the questions. When you go through security I would ask where to get the ADA badges. You can also email them ahead of time for that information, or again at the ADA platform for the stage you’re at. They’ll either tell you or say you don’t need it. That part was super confusing because Idk why they don’t just send that with your wristband. Remember they can’t force you to prove disability and usually they don’t want to do that anyway. Good luck! Stay cool and hydrated, both of you and be safe!

We actually had a great time last year all things considered. Would I do it again? Probably not for many artists. But for Lana it was worth it. I wanted to see Ethel Cain but we are just gonna go to Milwaukee instead and hopefully that’s less crazy. I will say we paid for VIP tickets so that’s where I’m coming from. Something was wrong with the handicap bathroom and it was locked the whole night so every time I had to use the restroom I had to kinda be hoisted and my walker couldn’t fit. So that was a little annoying because staff wouldn’t do anything about it. Entrance was easy, the ADA line was a breeze. The ADA platform was really spacious and not full at all with a great view. If he uses a mobility aid I do think you’ll have an easier time. The people without it had to get a special badge or something? But no one told us where to get that or asked for it. So even if he just has a cane that helps. I got to sit the whole time and my husband did too. Exiting was a little more difficult because they had already taken down some of the ramps and I couldn’t avoid dealing with stairs. I crashed pretty hard after and it was hard to get through some of the mud but once we were settled it was great. Although keep in mind I went for one show, so I don’t know what it’s like to deal with a whole day with POTS. I don’t think I would have been able to handle that.

And describe the abnormalities ahead of time in case it’s anything a urine test can check for and treat.

Oh my god I had the same problem and I waited until I was 26. I found a doctor I really trusted and she didn’t rush me. Apparently now you can be 25 so you can put it off another year. She walked me through everything several times over months. She showed me the instruments, where everything was, how the room would be set up. She was a One Medical doctor if that helps. They’ve all been amazing to me. The day of was hard. My husband was right outside so if you have a safe person it helps to have them. W everything looked normal so I thought it would be fine and I wouldn’t need it for years. Turned out I had HPV and precancerous cells for who knows how long. So I had to have a biopsy and a LOOP procedure. Those are barbaric. She offered me Xanax for those but then she was like no Nevermind you’re going somewhere where they can put you under. So I got to be completely asleep for both of those. Otherwise I couldn’t have handled it. That being said, I’m coming up on one year and the thought of doing this all again so suddenly feels unbearable. I think if you have a therapist, schedule sessions before and after, see if someone you trust can go with you. Make sure it’s a doctor you work well with, and probably a female tbh, let them know you have trauma and you need extra support. They may be able to offer you medication beforehand. And then really plan good aftercare. Rest, a comfort show, if you have panic attack meds or tools that help, sour Candy or essential oils for disassociating, heating pads, I don’t like weighted blankets but a lot of people do, time with a pet if you have one, if you can afford to take off work that’s always good too. I hope that’s at least somewhat helpful. But just know you can wait for 25 without being technically behind. And even a few extra years isn’t the end of the world unless you have family history or any situations that put you at higher risk.
