    OK, I didn't read that quite right did I? I'm still fed up of these ads that won't go away and the re-design of 2/3 apps I use makes it very hard to use because the 'done' button has disappeared and is hard to get back on the screen.




    I used to get 3 wins a day every single day without fail. Then they changed the search engine, or whatever it was they did. It just isn't worth my time anymore, it takes me all day until evening to get 1 win. The second win is barely ever forthcoming and I'm not staying up all night for at best 6-10 SB.




    I'm glad it's still working for some people, but it's really not for me anymore. I don't get all these search wins, I don't get surveys anymore since they changed that system as well. I never really did Encrave or Radio because they were full of spammy stuff.

    The only thing that has changed for me is that I'm a year older (which doesn't even move me into a different survey bracket) and the search wins and surveys have gone for me. I guess after nearly 3 years of making extra cash, they just don't want my opinion anymore. It's not only SB that's dropped off- I barely ever get a survey from Pinecone now. All other sites are noticably less too and so is mystery shopping (although that's been in decline for a couple of years now). I haven't replaced my earnings with any other sites, there's none worth bothering with.

    All in all, I think it's time to go get a life and not be tied to my laptop/ phone trying to earn pence! To me, it feels like economically we could be on the verge of a recession again because earnings generally are so bad. Good luck to everyone who decides to continue- I don't expect to be making loads on this stuff. But it's not unreasonable to expect a fair return on time invested.

    This post your coming across like swagbucks is particularly against you and you alone....

    It seems silly people are complaining about the apps. BEFORE the apps we were earning through SBTV encrave surveys etc.

    Then it got super easy with Android apps.

    And now SB reduced the amount earned via apps, but I for one am still thankful that there are still apps. I haven't done a survey for ages until the survey bonaza thing and still hit daily targets.
