FiveSurveys Sucks — And I’m About to Burn Their Whole Scam Down

Let me be brutally honest: https://app.fivesurveys.com/ is a straight-up scam dressed as a side hustle. They advertise “5-minute surveys” with 30 minutes to payout, but in reality, I spent FOUR HOURS grinding through mind-numbing garbage.

And here’s the kicker — I’ve answered 20 minutes’ worth of questions only to be slapped with:

“You’ve been screened out.”

Let’s not even mention how many surveys are flat-out broken.
Where’s my data going?
How do I complete 90% of a survey — feeding them valuable information — and still get nothing? That’s not an accident. That’s by design.

They deliberately throttle your progress, stall your payouts, and bury you in junk to maximize the data they sell behind your back. Meanwhile, customer support gives you the classic “24-hour response time” lie, then ghosts you.

If you’re a single man in the U.S., don’t even bother. They want desperate users in countries where four hours of work is worth pocket change. I can flip burgers at Burger King for $20 an hour with zero bullshit.

They gather your private info, package it, sell it to whoever’s buying — and still try to stiff you on payment. So guess what? I’m done playing nice.

I’m not just calling them out — I’m showing you how to milk these parasites dry.

Step-by-Step: How to Automate FiveSurveys and Make $10/hour While You Sleep

This isn’t theory. I’ve done it. You can do it on Android with Tasker, on Linux with bash scripts, or on Windows using AutoHotkey or Power Automate.

They don’t care about you. So why should you sit there clicking buttons like a good little data slave?

1. Android Automation with Tasker + AutoInput

1. Download Tasker from Google Play.
2. Add the AutoInput plugin (needed for touch automation).
3. Record one full survey manually:
   • Open Tasker → Create new Task → Add → Plugin → AutoInput → Record Screen Actions.
   • Tap through the survey once at your normal speed.
   • Stop recording.
4. Replay the actions automatically:
   • In Tasker, create a profile to trigger when FiveSurveys opens.
   • Add AutoInput → Replay → Select your recording.
5. Randomize your delays: Add “Wait” actions with 1–5 seconds of random delay between taps to mimic a human.
6. Loop it forever: Use Tasker’s “Perform Task” action in a loop. Plug your phone in, hit Run, and walk away.
7. Collect your payout: You’ll rack up completions with zero effort.

2. Full Bash Script Automation (Linux, Android via Termux, or PC via ADB)

1. Enable USB debugging on Android.
2. Install adb (Android Debug Bridge) on your PC or Termux on your phone.
3. Map survey buttons to screen coordinates using:

   adb shell getevent -l

   or just eyeball them with screenshots.

4. Automate taps and scrolls:

   while true; do
       adb shell input tap 500 1300   # Tap "Next"
       sleep $((RANDOM % 3 + 2))      # Random wait 2-5s
       adb shell input swipe 300 1200 300 400 800  # Scroll down
       sleep $((RANDOM % 4 + 2))      # Random wait 2-6s
   done
   

5. Leave this running — it will chew through surveys nonstop.

3. Windows Automation with AutoHotkey (or Power Automate Desktop)

1. Install AutoHotkey.
2. Create a script:

   Loop {
       Click, 500, 400    ; Click the Next button
       Random, delay1, 1000, 4000
       Sleep, delay1
       Send {Down}        ; Scroll down
       Random, delay2, 1500, 5000
       Sleep, delay2
   }
   

3. Save and run it while FiveSurveys is open in your browser.
4. For more sophistication, use imagesearch in AHK to detect real buttons and avoid obvious patterns.
5. You can also use Microsoft Power Automate Desktop to record mouse clicks and add random delays.

The Facts About Why This Works

• Their surveys are predictable. Most use the same layouts and button positions.
• They don’t validate your “thoughtfulness.” They only track clicks and page progress.
• Random delays bypass anti-bot filters. They only flag perfect timing, not human-like randomness.
• They still harvest your data even when they screen you out. So where’s your cut?

If they’re going to act like parasites, you have no moral obligation to be their host.

My Message to FiveSurveys

You suck. You lie to users. You waste people’s time. You screen us out after taking our data and pretend nothing happened. And now I’ve shown everyone how to waste your time and money instead.

Pay people fairly, stop throttling payouts, stop scamming users at 90% completion — and maybe I’ll take this post down. Until then, I’ll let every user know how to milk you for every penny you’re trying to keep.

Good luck stopping me.
