They pay you. Its probably an advertising/marketing section of some company trying to get feedback from the public so they can better design their marketing strategy to fit the consumers attitude. In other words, listen to some boring speeches talk about them and answer some questions, collect your money and leave. Go for it!

Nah I learned about them as part of one of my business classes. I wish I could find some around here. The only quick cash they have around here are medical studies where you take some experimental drug and stay in a hospital for the weekend lol. those pay like $600 though...

I did a medical study when I was younger (for migraines). They would give some kids the real drug and some a placebo. I got paid like from $80-$150 per visit and I ended up with the real drug so it worked out for me.
