    I started after the changes and my understand was that the earnings were too good to be true and below posts supports this.

    I don't expect any company to operate on a loss therefore it is a choice between shutting down completely and cutting the rates.

  • Of course they were too good to be true, I've been saying that since I joined over a year ago.
    The problem is their lack of transparency, non payments to members, lack of communication and avoiding/lying to members.

    True but greater rewards come with the greater risks :)

    They were too good to be true but regardless quite a few of us had $1,000+ in a short space of time, so that's been nice.

    The site has slowed down now, and the remunerations are smaller, but smaller is better than nothing and some people enjoy using the site. I have lots of connections I know from other sites, I don't have them on social networks as I strict to immediate family and friends, but it is nice to be able to see how life is treating them and engage in some social networking :)

    Most UK members are being paid fine these days, to the new 60 day payment terms, it is mostly people in South Asia, the Philippines etc, who've been told they won't be getting paid money cashed out before mid December, because of high levels of fraud. That sucks for the innocent people of course but bad apples spoil things for all.

    I have been having 50/50 luck when it comes to payments from them since about April. I did get them to give me a lump sum for several missing payments finally in August. Then I had one or two redemptions on time.
    Then two big ones around $300 each which were months late, then another smaller one on time.
    Then I got one of the two missing ones paid. And now I still have one more waiting from August.
    It is frustrating, I put a lot of work into something and now I'm not getting paid.

    But at the same time, like you said, I do keep sticking around for the people as I met some very lovely ones on there and it would be a shame to lose touch.

    beware they have just wiped out all payments from before November 11 2014. These redemptions were all made after they had already made changes to people abusing the system.
    I have never broken rules and all the posts made are still on the site.
    There are lawsuits being made against owners so beware.

    I too have taking an ambivalent stand in regards to posts, I can see both sides and I'm learning more towards the not worth it side
    got to laugh after seeing this post.
    Now you are sticking up for them after they wipe away thousands of pounds from members.
    Priceless.

    They have decided that all payments requested prior to the 11th f november will not be paid. Payments from that date made until recently will be paid at a reduced rate.

    To be put it into perspective I wrote a post it received about 20-25 interactions (comments and likes) and I made 1 cent. So no, not worth it :)
