It's like any business built on bullsh*t - it's not sustainable, especially for the worker bees. You have to keep lightfooted and move where the money moves, because snake oil selling is only sustainable in the short-term.
I'm not saying this from a high horse, I'm terrible at moving with the times, it goes against my comfort level, but I've been involved with other online ventures before, not market research and such like SB, but it's the same thing - They're pinching from the pockets of companies by offering them garbage leads, and the companies are happy whilst it's working, but SB can't sustain that because it's bottom feeder stuff, so they pinch from the pockets of their users to keep their head above water (skimming, gradually reducing payouts etc) until they're squeezing both tits and then there's no milk left. That's how these online scams go (and it's scam, even if it's a soft scam, no ones losing their life savings, but it's still bullsh*t).
SB would LOVE to be a groupon or a quidco - they push that side so hard on their users, but they'll go under sooner or later because that's not what they are. If I ran SB I would've sold the website 2 years ago and run off to a Carribean island with the money.
If it's not working for you any more, move on to the next snake oil seller who's offering higher payouts, but it won't last, it never does - you have to stay ahead of crest of the wave if you want anything more than crumbs.0 -

Strange I installed it ages ago and the activity is always marked off for me without needing to do anything.
"Daily Goal" is another area that has been cut - previously it was nearly always 10% upwards, now it mostly seems to be 10% downwards - I don't have the full target but today my first is 90 for only 6 SB when that would usually have paid 50% more at 9 SB.0 -
There is a 1 minute gold survey on the home page for 25sb asks only a couple of questions!0

I don't think you have the slightest idea of what you are on an about.
SB is run by Prodege LLC. They already have their own version of Quidco.
Here's their Linkedin entry.
