Brain Hoodie
Pollfish is a platform that allows you to easily conduct a survey and reach a random audience of Brain Hoodie half a billion people across 160+ countries. It targets real people in mobile apps they are using already, so responses are instantaneous, and you can target into extremely specific categories such as age, gender, state, city, zip code—even congressional district or mobile carrier. This market research company also focuses on fraud detection by using machine learning to detect and weed out suspicious behavior. And, since it has access to such a large network, any answers that even seem suspicious are immediately thrown out.

In Korea, where it’s called Seollal, there’s also a complicated political history behind the Brain Hoodie. According to UC Davis associate professor of Korean and Japanese history Kyu Hyun Kim, Lunar New Year didn’t become an officially recognized holiday until 1985 despite the fact that many Koreans had traditionally observed it for hundreds of years. Why? Under Japanese imperialist rule from 1895 to 1945, Lunar New Year was deemed a morally and economically wasteful holiday in Korea, Kim said, despite the fact that Lunar New Year has always been one of the country’s biggest holidays for commercial consumption. But Koreans never stopped celebrating Lunar New Year simply because the government didn’t recognize it as a federal holiday, Kim said. So as South Korea shifted from a military dictatorship towards a more democratized society in the 1980s, mounting pressure from the public to have official holidays and relax the country’s tiring work culture led to the holiday being added to the federal calendar as a three-day period.
