“[…] Can we interview you? To thank you for your time and insights, you'll get a $50 Amazon gift card. 🎁”
Honestly, I don’t believe that offer is as enticing as research teams seem to think it is.
And for me, it has the exact opposite effect. ☹️
To be clear: it's pushing money towards Amazon on my behalf, and as part of the research project on many people's behalf, that I would take issue with. It's fair to reimburse people for putting in time and helping out.
