I have a massive issue with Wedgewood, and now I can finally talk about it. Back when they were first getting started, they were looking for people to increase credibility to presumably get on 50+1/NYT, and these poll-tracking accounts. We had contacted them, just because we were curious, and they had offered to do a poll for $200. Their reasoning for it being so cheap is that they wanted to get their name out, and they were going to "eat most of the costs" from a $10,000 grant. That being said, we thought it was low-risk, so at worst, it would just be a low-quality poll. However, after we paid them, he gave us a poll and claimed the poll was completed in less than a day. We got this despite it being a national poll with an LV sample! We knew right away it was fake, but because of difficulties tracking down the owner and possible risks, we didn't want to say anything. He clearly used Claude, and I hope this whole thing leads to higher standards being practiced by everyone, from polling tracking accounts to polling averages.
