Yeah, and users are still not paying for your product it seems. Rather, this time, the user is even getting paid! The user is clearly still the product, so why would you even bring this up?
Also, between the lines about blockchain and decentralisation, I'm just reading that this is one of the many companies that pay people a little bit for filling out online surveys. How is that new?

Legacy online survey software might reward panelists in Bitcoin but that's about it. Most blockchains are too slow and expensive to perform at major scale.

Data requesters survey results are fully encrypted with one time pad encryption. Instars Survey Software is free to use for anyone who stakes 1,000 tokens (about $20 worth) vs paying $468+ a year recurring payments to legacy online survey providers!
