Swagbucking into 2017

Beartricks

My watch isn't working. I put it on, let it run and it just seems to give up half way.

In all honestly I just clicked a 12 minute one to leave on while I went to the shop since I seem to have seen all of them anyway. Came back and it had played two of the videos, then frozen.

I'm getting tired of SB. I also requested a postcard last week and it's a toss up as to whether that will arrive before this Swago is done.

Does anyone use a MacBook for sb? I Havent done sb for years now but I have a new laptop since then and the video's where you watch a couple for swaybacks won't work.

They are definately f-ing around with Watch. Just had my computer completely freeze because I just started watching a playlist. I've had Chrome slow down before, but never experienced the whole computer freezing before because of it, that was scary. I'm really starting to distrust what SB are doing with that page and I'm scared to leave it open unmonitored. I think I will leave Watch alone from now on.

Between the slowdown, the freeze, and the occasional random redirect to shady websites and !!!!!! it's just not worth it.

That's completely normal, all browers freeze after a while with either Watch (even worse since they've incorporated the ads) and EngageMeTv. They just take up endless memory and the Flashplayer crashes repeatedly. I've decided to use an old laptop soon as I can't do anything else now on the machine while SB is running.
It helps a bit using a browser where you can delete cookies and history regularly.

Argh, I keep missing the codes and it's the only bit I need for Swago.

It is absolutely not normal at all. I've used Watch forever and whilst it might slow down the browser every now and again it has NEVER frozen my entire computer so everything stops - I was using itunes and even the music stopped. I was about to reboot when I was briefly able to close the browser window. A bit of slowdown in the browser - acceptable since these websites are usually very poorly optimized, but freezing the entire machine? Unacceptable and not normal at all.
I also delete my cookies, cache and history at least once a day if not twice.

I've only been on it for about a month, exhausted all the 'good' offers and made about £50 all in. What's left is offers that are just there to mine your data. I stupidly signed up for UseNext and now I'm paranoid that they'll just bill me £170 at some point like they seem to have done to people in the past, for example.

I honestly don't know how some of the offers get past their vetting. Things like the 'Sign up to win an iPhone" are clearly just data mining scams or spam email machines. I've definitely had an uptick in spam since starting Swagbucks, and I've had some dodgy marketing phonecalls. I've got a code on the way so I can cash out and I'll probably use a Mastercard one-click to rinse the rest of the deals.

After that I'm going to call it a day. I was doing alright on surveys for a while but now every second one seems to disqualify me after I've answered their questions, then it automatically puts me in another survey rather than sending me back to SB for the 1sb bonus.
