I was wondering how it tricked the game into recognizing the correct answer. Does it end each question by writing the correct answer inside an already darkened portion maybe?

Care to elaborate? Your post looks like a knee-jerk reaction to the title, I don't see anything keeping charitable gardens/CSA/etc from popping up in lieu of charitable bird/deer hunts.

It pops up every few months to a year for me when I first open Steam, so not necessarily opt-in (but very easy to opt-out). About the only thing you have to fill out as well is your connection speed, so it's pretty painless.
