Swagbucks 2020

I can theoretically complete these surveys if they are featured on gold surveys, but I keep getting the surveys which don’t go anywhere.

Hey all, I've rejoined SB after a number of years. Before there were videos that you play 10 and got 3sb (or something like that). Has this been stopped now? I can't find a video section but that was my main way of earning before.

Also, what else would you say has changed in the last few years? It seems completely different now.

Maybe that was swagbutton videos - from the original 10 videos for 3 SB they then in stages moved out to 105 videos for 3 SB (paid at 35 for 1 SB) and possibly worse before they stopped completely.
The mobile video apps dropped in stages from 140+ SB per day down to nothing last time I looked.
The page with sets of videos required more to be watched for less reward then went completely
Most surveys pay less than the already low rate they previously offered.
Many of the "leave it running" things have gone and many rewards now cost more (higher "sale" prices rather than the basic price changing)
Search wins are fewer and pay much less per win.
The monthly code day became less regular before stopping. 
(most of the changes were pre-covid)
You can upload some shopping receipts for 2 SB each - but they are usually now a requirement to complete both monthly swagos so if you don't do them you cannot get full boards

Videos went a long time ago.  The whole site sucks worse now.  A lot of us have been banned from completing Gold surveys for no apparent reason - they say it's because we "gave inconsistent answers" which none of us have

Have you been banned fully?  If so that's shocking.  It may be time to bail on Swagbucks.

I assume so. What’s so funny is I only really started using peanut labs again last week but every survey DQd me. I answered honestly (and shut down the endless loop surveys). I wonder if it didn’t like me closing the surveys which go nowhere.

The Watch area seems to have been different for some of us lately but just got another ncrave there. Still showed the previous car image but played new content for 8 SB.

Shutting down the routers was what I did on golds, bur weirdly, since they let me back and I decided I was going to go through the routers I've actually had a few paying surveys Peanut Lab surveys out of it. Still won't go through router company after router company though. None of it seems very honest on their part and I wouldn't be surprised if they sell the information they gather in 'qualifying' questions since they get us to agree to allowing it to do a survey(it's been said before). I'm  turning down their more intrusive router questions, like health and money though.

Did you see my post about putting in a ticket asking them to provide examples of inconsistencies etc, as someone did last year?
Edit: sorry about the picture in the quote, it didn't show before I posted.

I restarted this year after a gap of a few years. I'm going to cash out another £5 then probably stop again. I spend so long 'not doing surveys' (ie getting screened out) that it's a complete waste of time. I've been trying for two days to get a gold survey for Swago and it's just not happening. Frankly with home-ed and working from home (I flex my time so doing the odd survey is not a problem!), it's too much like hard work. I also miss the days of the video apps etc. Sorry this probably isn't the right place to have a whinge!
