Shameless plug for the service we built to solve this for ourselves - https://www.pickfu.com The MVP was to meant to replace asking randos at a coffee shop about your idea/design/etc. Over time we've added demog

As noted before, it's tough to know that 100% of the responses are truthful on any survey. With PickFu, you can read the explanations to get a feel as to which respondents put some thought in. I'm sorry you had a rough experience with that

Ah yeah, I get what you're talking about. It's one of the features I've been wanting to add for a while too - filtering the responses by any demographic combination. Not pri 1, maybe in the next version. =)

Our respondents don't get paid unless they actually explain their answers - which both reduces false responses and provides unique value and insight to the service. For example, we used this feature to dogfood our own FAQ page: http://pick

Currently no, you can't set up a higher # of responses. We found that 50 responses offers a good set of opinions without taking too long to finish. What are some other options you'd like to see?
