Phil Voxpopme - Prolific Researcher Reviews

Mistaken screen-out. Got to the part where they asked what industry I was in, and had TWO check boxes for "none of the above". I didn't know which one to pick, so I checked them both and it automatically screened me out (didn't state screen-out, just said study finished). I remember this researcher....he's the one the screens you out, but doesn't forward you to end the study and pay the screen out fee. You're just stuck. I messaged him twice, no response of course. Finally ended the study, reluctantly. Pay looked really good, but can't complete. Literally no one will be able to complete it, because no matter which you pick it probably won't allow you to continue. After ending it when my page refreshed, I see the exact same study with one spot, and several similar ones....all with a different screen name. Apparently he's got an alias of Emer McArthur, as well. Problem researchers should be banned from the platform! Total waste of time! Time is money!

Made me complete the entire study and then screened me out on completion after giving me a completion code. Paid out the screening reward instead of the study reward. Poor ethics.

Worked for nothing. Sent all recordings videos, then the study got returned.
