If it's an online survey offering filling it out in exchange for a chance to win something I will almost never pay any attention to the questions and just click whatever to finish it quickly.
What's the proper process for conducting a study like this?

Sometimes the close button even tries to make you feel guilty about clicking it, like : "No, I'm not interested in learning about latest cloud technologies every week [x]" Or the famous "Not now" meaning "Fine, I will bother you again later anyway"
Also, targeting became much worse than 2004, which makes me doubt that all this "deep learning on big data" even slightly works. Everywhere I see only ads for mobile games, hollywood movies, consumer loans, cars — and I hate all of these things.
One thing I see quite frequently is ads for items I already bought. Not like "oh you just bought a T-Shirt, well let's show you another great T-Shirt", no no, it's "oh you just bought this T-Shirt, well let's show you the exact same T-Shirt in case you want to buy a second one completely identical".

Me too... maybe the ad blocker blocked it? Not a loss.
I turned off mine, still didn't find it.
Nope, you're right: I actually tried to read it properly and the article content bears no relation to the title at the top of the page, which is just a title. That's with or without ad blocker enabled. Incidentally without uBlock enabled the page is slower than hell to load.

This is very funny but at the same time it hurt my butt that I had to provide them ad revenue by watching this mess...
In their defense, many people only read the title anyway.
I ran into this dreck yesterday: https://www.inc.com/magazine/20091101/does-slow-growth-equal... If anyone can find the actual article, let me know.
Btw, where's the article, I did my best to solve the puzzle but can't find it.
It is certainly interesting that lately there is more research into what ads people particularly dislike. However I must wonder that they seem to skip an elephant in the room: Malvertising and Fraud. That is: Ads that either try to install malware on your system or that try to deceive you into buying something that isn't really what it seems to be. I'm pretty sure nobody likes that, yet both are common enough.
But I suppose video content about the article on CNN (as the biggest annoyance) isn't considered an advertisement.
