I packed up swagbucks about a month ago! Best thing i ever did! The amount of time i spent on there a day to earn a £5 voucher every week or so! Its brain washing! even the surveys! Busting a gut everyday to try and hit target!!! Arghhhh

In regards to the Crowdflower tasks - you/we are just cheap labour. A company needs a task doing but the task would take many weeks/months even years if only a handful of their full time staff were doing it. This would be very expensive. So they turn to crowdsourcing - getting lots of people to work on one task. This cuts an age of the time required to do it plus because anyone who does this is effectively self-employed so they don't need to pay minimum wage.

If you work out the SB/Paypal payment ratio to the time taken to do a task it's a pittance - you would be much better off getting a second job.

The real winners in this are the big companies that don't want to pay a proper wage to the people doing the work.

Morning all - seems I missed a good SB thread giggle last night. You lot do make me laugh! So tried a few search hits from last night's success stories and got this hit this morning...

^^and check me out using photobucket for the first time, ever! Even with my spelling mistake... Happy Saturday Swagbuckers - I'm off for a kind of 'last supper' with a few of my girl pals ahead of Baby #3's arrival. Pretty snowy here in Leeds so hoping that doesn't stop play too much

Ooooh! just had a really easy survey on international and business news watching habits on the survey dashboard. One of the screening questions was "how often do you fly a spaceship?" :rotfl: :rotfl:

So I'm now on 70/80 and a handful of points away from my next AGC. Happy Saturday everyone!

I gave up on doing the tasks after a couple of goes... I couldn't get my head round them... it was taking 45 mins to get about 4 sb and was seriously p'ing me off. I don't mind doing the surveys, cos they're vaguely engaging if they're relevant and you get a reasonable wodge of sb. Tasks, not for me thanks.

I'm giving up on the intense sb'ing in a couple of weeks, gonna aim for either the 3 week or 4 week bonus... save up a couple more AGC, splash out on some craft supplies with the proceeds and give Etsy/Folksy a go... endless sbtv and survey hunting are killing off my brain cells, which are in short enough supply as it is lol. I'll keep it on the back burner and just drop in for a few points here & there... aim for a few AGC per year rather than per month iyswim. I tend to do sb in fits & starts anyway.
