Question Regarding Surveys

Card image cap

Location: Los Angeles

Hello everybody, so I recently figured out something that I'm trying to keep as much on the hush hush as possible and just want to make sure that what I am doing isn't illegal. I may delete this post haha. So on a survey website (that I won't name) I noticed an error where it keeps allowing me to take a profile survey for five cents. So every time I touch the button, it gives me five cents. Its been like this for a few days now and I think you see where this is going... I've looked up a lot of stuff on this, and can't find anything. Is what i'm doing illegal if it wasn't intentional? I didn't hack, i'm not falsifying information, or using a bot, I'm simply just exploiting an error. I want to know cause I don't want to get into legal trouble, or have my account deactivated. I would ideally if this glitch keeps occurring, like to make a lot of money like this, how would this work through taxes?

Thank you all in advance for any help you throw my way, may delete this cause I'm nervous just typing this out, what I'm doing feels wrong.
