Swagbucking into 2017

They've turned ncrave auto off for me too. So I won't be bothering. Will just stick to running engageme.tv at least that runs through on its own.

Knew this would happen. Since Sportly was updated it no longer runs the favourite for me AND it slots in 2 adverts before each video (though mostly the adverts don't run). Tonight I'm informed that MovieCl.ips needs to be updated and guess what? Same as Sportly!!! Now takes an hour and a half to churn through the Small Clips unattended! Watch out for the remaining apps being updated similarly. It just gets harder and harder...

Yep - despite the 'sale' that's now been going on for months, everything is being devalued even more than normal over the past few months/years. I agree that it takes nearly all day now to get all 6 apps through to the end to get 60SB - goodness knows whats it doing to my iphone battery (even plugged into the mains its still hammering it and hence devaluing it) - getting to the point where 6+ hours is simply not worth it - even if you an get through without manual intervention.

This along with watch being 20 vids (instead of the old 10 - admittedly recently there are a few "Geobeats" playlists that run through more quickly but still devalued) its getting harder and harder to hit that first target - certainly consistently enough to get the monthly 300SB bonus - unless of course you want to put in 2-3 hours of baby sitting/surveys or to make sure an advert has not got 'stuck' or crashed on toolbartv etc.

They are making it harder and harder - surely it can't get much worse?

Anyone doing swagbucks (even the UK site compared to the generous US version) 2 years ago would look at it today and be horrified in how much less they are giving out for the effort that is required.

20 vids per 3 swagbucks - seriously... ?!!! that's just one example. I know I'm coming across as negative and that many here are still happy that they can get money at all from this ... but they really are starting to prey on the most desperate as far as I can see.:(

Once the apps become unuseable then I'm done - I'm sure I won't be the only one (unless you do what surveys are available) .I remember when the apps used to give over 100 SB without half the ads there are now - and if you were in the US it was over 200 per day..

Where is consistent 'laptop guy', nCrave, nGage, watch + toolbartv+apps (without ads or crashing)?... very annoying.- and really we should highlight it because if we don't its showing swagbucks that we are fine with it and hence they wlil take it a stage further...

The search terms don't seem to matter, 3 wins a day are usually achievable leaving a gap between each set of searches (I do a max of 6 different search terms each time), my 3rd win today (sb time) was with my first search for a few hours and for

"give me a search win you tightwads"

although only 4 sb it's still less effort/time than most other ways to earn (I collected 85 sb in 5 days without needing to type a search but just from clicking on the search box on the swagslopes swagup)

Important Update Regarding nCrave
Posted on January 31, 2017 by nschumann
As some of you may have noticed, nCrave Autoplay is no longer available. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. The intent of nCrave is to provide premium content for you to explore and engage with. As a result, we reward SB for your time spent. This activity is meant to be rewarding from a content discovery standpoint, as well as rewarding from a SB standpoint. While we have experimented with different ways to start a content series, our primary goal is to offer content that is valuable for users – with the idea being that engaged users interact with each site, view/watch the content, provide feedback, and hopefully return on their own.

If you have two browsers you can run the videos in one and have the other for 'using normally' I just have them both at small window sizes so i can see the video page and leave the cursor on it while typing in the other browser.
The keyboard arrows work for forum scrolling in the 'non video ' window.

For the adscendmedia videos, I only watch them early while i go and do breakfast. usually the first video wont have an ad but then the following 5 or 6 will. Then once it stops offering ads, I just leave it,its not worth fretting about.

Recently the sbtv app has been stalling every now and then but the others have played through. Only entertainnow is still allowing favourites to run on my phone.

My SBTV App won't play, but if you have room for it, I can complete it in the SBs App. Usually have to x-out some ads, but not too long to get your 10 SBs.

So annoying with Movieclips at the moment. Can't seem to log back in after it must have updated.

The button to click 'Already a Member? Log In' is under the 4 dot scrolling bit so everytime I try and click it won't work and just scrolls. Aaargggh! Have tried clicking all different areas but all the same.

Anyone else have this problem or any way to get round it?

Yup! Use your details to Register, it then tells you you already have an a/c and you can click log In. HTH.
