This follows up on the Benjamin One investigation and takes a broader look at patterns across the survey app space. The goal isn't to name and shame specific sites, but to give users a practical framework for spotting problems before investing serious time.

Would love to hear your experiences or any additional red flags you've noticed that should be on the checklist.
