In survey & focus group research, there are formal steps to exclude the professional subjects. Too corrupting & untrustworthy.

Any chance you have a link to formal ways of excluding professional survey takers?

I'll look but it's absolutely standard. Professional subjects must be eliminated, and subjects that talk to each other.

It's okay maybe if you're doing image labeling, if they are workers. Not if they are taking surveys on opinions etc.

I'm not sure I'm convinced (yet) that paid workers are worse than people online recruited to do studies. A study really would help!

Online recruiting? That has issues too, yep, depends on how it's recruited. I think YouGov is managing. Not cheap when right.
