20 years ago they sent me a buck and a survey, and I was bored enough to fill it out and mail it back in the postage paid envelope they proved.

A few months later the sent a follow up, and asked if we would be interested in being a Nelson family. They would pay for any repairs of the VCR (remember those) or TVs we have if there is an issue, and they paid us some small stipend each month, not much.

They showed up, and took the VCRs apart, and installed some monitoring gizmo to record what we watched, and what we did NOT watch.

That lasted for two years, and they came and took the stuff out, and put us back to before.

I can tell you I never watched (and still don't) any "reality" TV, or soap operas, or cartoons. I did watch a lot of the History channel back when they had historic shows the science channel, and discovery and not the garbage on now of ghost, bigfoot, and UFO shows.

I guess I was a minority, as the history channel almost never shows history, the science channel shows very few actual science shows, just drivel about supernatural poppycock.
