Love-bombing: the strong eats the weak Apr 9, 2019

Tom, don't worry: While it also can be just another trick to influence freelancers, wannabes, and bystanders in attempt to change the public opinion, hardly could it fool a clever mind. It's just marketing (correlating one's demand with other's supply; including researches to gain even more profits), nothing personal.

Kay, on the other hand they may play old-time "foot-in-the-door" trick: first asking for a little favor as answering short polls, then requesting even higher "repetition discounts" and payment after 366 days, and gradually switching to free translation demands)

The OP didn't specify why they want me to spend time filling in their survey. So your answer is speculative.

But it is correct that nobody's making me click on it. That is incontrovertible.
