I wonder if they did studies that people today won't feel obligated
if you pay the $1 but they will if you pay them $2.

That was just a fore-runner business practice that the social media have jumped upon.
The $ gave the Nielsen company ownership of your responses.
FaceBook, Google, etc., have since done the same thing,
but they just declared their ownship, and skipped the $ part.
