Vital Signs
Seems stable, has existed for a while. Unclear how they get money. Appears to call Google Ads (judging from the XHR requests), but it's not clear if the ads are actually shown. (I have AdNauseum turned on and would rather not turn it off, even temporarily.) They seem to remove old polls from the website without a trace, see links above.
The site is excluded from the Wayback Machine.
