So, in case you guys haven't noticed, a lot of the old thread are being moved, because they were created last year. So, I though since Ben is back and Clarissa is our new member, and hopefully, you all won't vanish anytime soon, I thought I would try to create more threads for us to engage in and give the club some life again.
With that being said, has anyone ever heard of the Hulu brain trust? I received an email about a week ago telling me to take a survey to join. And out of sheer boredom, I decided to join.
From what I can tell thus far, you can take surveys about Hulu shows that are already airing or are about to air, you can discuss in their forums about the shows already airing, and you can get rewards (not sure how) on I guess you're activity , and redeem them for gift cards. They even encourage you to download their app.
So, I think it seems alright, but I just don't know what Hulu's purpose of doing this was. I guess they are trying to compete with Netflix. I wouldn't even be surprised if Netflix does this next month or so, honestly.
What does everyone think of this?

You can get rewards for being apart of the brain trust. I don't think that's a complete waste.

I got the same email but I did not sign up. I believe that companies like Hulu and Netflix do not care what the average person thinks. I do not think they created the brain trust as a means of wasting people's time. I think they created it because they want to create their own study and try to force unwanted content down our throats. Netflix and Hulu are always changing their content, and I do not think it's ever for the better. They constnatly take away good shows and put boring movies up.

After I signed up, I haven't really been back on it to do any other discussions.
But I might actually see if I can get a gift card or something.

I just checked it out, and you can get a 5$ gift card to various places, but you have to accumulate 500 points by I guess engaging in discussions and taking surveys.

That doesn't sound like a lot you have to do to get the points. So, it's not a complete waste of time like ben said.

I mean, it was great being selected and what not, but the way it's set up kinda makes me not fully interested in it. I guess if they set it up better in a sense of making it more flashy or attractive, I probably would take more interest.
