"I am enjoying this project because it's easy and I am learning about topics that are interesting and newsworthy."

"Phil is very patient and he keeps his word. He calls when he says and makes it very easy. The new system- I love it! I’ve been doing it since October, 2022 and will continue to participate. It is very helpful for me with the gift cards. It helps me purchase business supplies. Very quick and easy. Everything is positive. Phil is awesome!!!"

"I really enjoy The Tech Watch Project and helping them with the information gathering they are doing. It is very interesting to me the way that they are using these individual works of different sorts to do what they do. Of course the other part that is nice is that they reward you with gift cards for the participation that you do for them. If you are asked help you should join in and join in on the fun."

"I was one of the earliest participants in the project... I strongly believed in the project and remained a research partner- the personal time involved weekly was adequately rewarded, not just through gift card payment, but knowing I would help make a difference in uncovering the truth in a tangible manner that could be supported with factual data. My wife and I enjoyed our perks- they have added to the enjoyment of our new home- and for that we are truly grateful."

I have participated in the Tech Watch Project for two years. These different platforms repeatedly claim they are personalizing the user experience. News media outlets can be very slanted. Hopefully this study will provide some answers, particularly in regard to political information and elections. I feel it's important that someone looks into these matters, and I'm glad Tech Watch is doing just that. I hope to make these venues safer and more balanced for future users and generations. In addition, I am always pleased to receive a monthly gift card. My husband and I both participate in the TWP, and you'd be surprised how helpful those cards are. Seems like we're always ordering something for ourselves or for our friends and family. Every little bit helps!

I have always been an activist, so working on this team's project gives me a purpose and makes me feel like I am supporting the Tech Watch mission of making the digital world a safer place. With the rising use of social media, AI and the digital tech companies who are trying to control us, this is imperative. The gift cards are generous and greatly appreciated as well.
