    Not boycotting, people can still use it but if they don't want the high targets then they need to start earning less. Everyone can still use it but if someone doesn't want a 200sb daily target then they are going to need to stop getting 200sb+ a day.

    The system is based on averages, they higher someones average the higher the target. Newbies can complain about high targets but if they keep meeting them then what else can they expect?

    Not sure if this is true or not, it might be but last week I deliberately earned a low amount of sb compared to my high targets ( average of about 70 a day vs an average target of 240) and today I am greeted with a target of 205.

    I suppose it depends how they work out the average, if they take it over a month or lifetime then a week of low earnings is going to have little effect. But if they only do it over a week then it couldn't be on averages.

    I honestly don't think we will ever know how they work it out.

    Probably throw skittles in the air and however many they can catch with their mouths is the target

    Interesting debating. But something NOT mentioned is why the Brits are being used as crash test dummies yet again.
    Or am I wrong ? Are there Americans getting these high initial targets ?
    Somehow I think not,because they'd scream blue murder were it so. I stand to be corrected if wrong.

    Slightly off topic ,but did they ever reinstate that US member that everyone on the USA page went mental over being binned for TV watching ?

    I agree with you in principle Leo - I really do - but most newbies just see offers, do offers, and earn loads because that is what is initially available... many of them don't even post here so how can we tell them to reign it in?
    I haven't earnt much - because I didn't find the bit under "discover" then "special offers" and just thought it was all available on the front page. My targets have remained low - I've had 90, 80, 70 (didn't meet as things didn't credit), 70, and today is 90.

    I know it is a bit off topic but as I am also becoming a bit disillusioned with Swagbucks does anyone know of any other sites that pay decently and use paypal as a withdrawal method?
