Market research has "Scam" reputation. UX problem?

General UXR Info Question

I have experienced recurring feedback claiming market research is not worth it and here are some common frustrations:

​

• Re-entering information I've already provided

• Spending time on studies only to be screened out

• Long or difficult surveys that require significant effort

• Delayed or restrictive compensation like gift cards

• Being asked for personal information without much visibility into how it will be used

​

What are some of your own frustrations with market research participation?

​

If you could redesign the participant experience from scratch, what would you change?

​

Do you think those changes would lead to better quality responses?
