Just got my first Storj UserTesting survey today. Was happy about this - until I had to install their browser extension to continue.
The extension requires access to my mic and screen and wouldn’t let me continue without a microphone plugged in.
This is a totally unnecessary breach of privacy. I WILL NOT answer any surveys that demand access to my screen and my mic.
Please change to a survey platform that doesn’t require this!
It requires these because that’s how tests are conducted: the whole point is to watch your behavior on screen, while you give live comments on what you think, what feels odd, what’s great and so on…
I would very much prefer giving my comments in writing. This feels very intrusive.
It sounds like a great reason to choose not to take the survey. I’m not sure what the point of this post is though?
He pointed that out quite clearly:
Just amused, I guess.
“Will you get me some apples at the store?”
Expected answer: Yes or No
Actual answer:
“Not only will I not get you apples, I want to get you pears. You should have asked me for pears. Let’s discuss it on a public forum!”
