Would it not be the other way around? :convinced: I mean if EVERYONE got it, it wouldn't be "HOT" because it would be too common, everyone getting that $75/hr... Wouldn't it be "HOT" if it was RARE and only a select few people get the deal? Would that not constitute the "HOT"-ness of the deal because of it's selectivity?
I mean I see HOT deals all the time reflecting the level of difficulty it takes a person actually getting that item. Because they have to go through 12 rebates or price-matching 3 stores (exaggeration) to get a really nice price. The fact that many people cannot/are not willing to get it makes it HOTTER?
The level also seems to reflect the limited quanity or rare-ness of an item. The more limited or rare, the more often the better the deal, in my observations.
IMHO.
hrm.....
My $0.02:
Perhaps I'm teh wrong, but I think people think deals are hot when theres the greatest difference between normal price and spoofee price. That's what I always thought. Difficulty, if anything, decreases the HOTness. It's like having a supermodel decide your cute and wanting to take her to her mansion... does it make her less hot cause you didn't have to deal w/ the red tape?
In other news...... how long does it take to sign up, do the survey and check back? For some people, it might just be more beneficial to just do one more hour of work and get the OT. No?

I feel that because it is rare it becomes more desirable, in a sense more valuable. Sure price makes a large difference, but you can’t say $75/hr is small fiddle-diddle. That is a pretty significant “pay-rate” difference for many younger people. The fact that this might be a rare opportunity makes it even “hotter,” thus much kudos to those lucky few who strike a deal with Google and their survey, a much desirable position.

Hot refers to "hotness" of the deal, not "hotness" of the item. Sure, it can be a really desirable item, but if it's not a good deal, then it's not "hot." In this case, only few people being eligible for the deal makes it only a fair deal because signing up doesn't automatically mean you get something, but if everyone gets $75, then it would be a hot deal because then you're guaranteed $75.x_OoO_x said:
Judge for yourself, which do you think is the better deal? Would you rather have a chance to get something, or would you rather be guaranteed something?

Okay then in asking, would you rather have a "Chance" at $75/hr or "No Chance" at $75/hr. You must understand that the hotness of the deal comes with the fact that you are ABLE to obtain it. Googles does NOT have to hold a survey for people at all, or even pay them some sum of money. Or they can low-ball everyone and offer only $5/hr. Do you not see that the hotness of this deal comes from the fact that there is a CHANCE of this vs NO CHANCE of this offer and the pay is well vs little to no pay for this. People take surveys all the time online without pay. People take surveys online with little pay. Because this opportunity came up with a large sum of money makes it a "HOT" deal.
Get real, Google will never offer EVERYONE $75/hr for a survey, but it is VERY realistic that Google does NOT offer this deal AT ALL. You guys are rating these deals like these opportunities are destined. They're not.
