Online surveys are not valid research tool anyway, because of heavy selection bias.

As for giving bullshit answers on them, valid surveys have built-in protection measures. The amount of trolling in surveys has been measured this way; I've seen it refered to by at least one author as "Lizardman's constant", and it was consistently around 7% or such.

It's unlikely to be a constant amount. There have been, somewhat ironically, surveys about lying on surveys. One result is that people will indicate being more or less likely to lie, depending on the sort of question: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-29206289
