^^ But you have no idea who the ‘researchers’ are or what they’ll do with the data and you can bet that a primary motivator for them is a profit driven motive to target your household with ads, etc. More often than not they not only try to time the call to interrupt your dinner but some are downright rude and will simply hang up on you if you say you don’t want to participate. I’m not dependent on any data they acquire and don’t consider it accurate anyway (partly due to people like me who won’t participate).
