Yes, it's true that, in some cases, this can be frustrating! The goal of this "lead magnet quiz" is to make the traditional lead magnets, where you give your email address to get a free PDF, etc., make a bit more personal and unique for each visitor.

If you are interested in a workout plan, maybe you don't want to read a long PDF and found out yourself which paragraphs are relevant for your lifestyle, fitness goal, and body type and which are not for you. In this case, the goal of the quiz is to cut out all the unnecessary parts of the PDF and send you what you have to do. People are using lead magnets like this with a simple subscription, so I guess the quiz shouldn't be much more frustrating.

I added a feature, that enables users to add a "Skip subscription, get my results!" button to the quiz. In this case, the quiz will immediately show the user the results. Of course, the whole subscription thing can be turned off and in that case, the player will always receive the results after answering the questions.

And also, thank you for the idea, the discount code is amazing, I'm going to use this somewhere on the landing page!
