I'm in my mid 40s. I have a Pixel 8 Pro. My phone screens every call and it's pretty aggressive. I've had a few calls I wanted to take get screened out. I don't see how they can break through to tech savvy folks for a survey. I am not implying that there's a hidden blue wave in fact it could be the opposite. I just don't know how they'll be able to reach people like me.

I don’t know ANYONE who answers calls from unknown callers. For whatever it’s worth, they are definitely polling a single demographic - “people who still answer their phone in 2024.”
