1/2 cent for a 6 minute video.

[michaelga]

I agree the 1/2 cent videos that are longer than 2-3 minutes are not hardly worth my time to watch them.  I usually go to the forum page for a while if the video is a bit long.  Not sure if I have gotten credit for all that I have watched but I have a feeling there have been a few that haven't.  Some of the 1 cent ones I do and then click out of when it is finished, the page refreshes with the same video available.  But when I try to watch it again it says that it is a one time offer and I have already completed it.  If it is a one time offer why does it come back after the page refreshes?

I love the videos they put up. It is free money be happy. I'm not about to complain and I'm really struggling right now.

Hi all,
I know that not everyone finds the 1/2 cent videos to be worth their time.  To help, we've added a switch to the paid videos page (bottom right) which lets you hide them if you'd prefer not to see them.  Turning "off" the 1/2 cent videos will simply hide them, you can always turn them back "on" later.

Thanks, Admin.... that is great.  Is there a way to add the length of the video to the description?  There are times I just can't spend 6+ minutes watching a video (for whatever payment), and it would be nice to know ahead of time how long the video is.

Sadly, no, because this data is generally not included with the video feeds that we have setup.  Some have a "duration" or "length" field but it is completely useless -- for example, one video currently live is ~8mins but listed as exactly 5 minutes long.  Another one is 6 mins but listed as 22 seconds.  Still more of them are listed as 'zero' seconds.  So you can see that displaying that info would only be confusing/annoying/frustrating.

With that said, I was able to find a work-around for most of the 1/2 cent videos.  They will now display the length when possible.

Yeah, 1/2 cent for 6 min. is ridiculous!  Oh well....it's "free"

Thanks Admin.  That is so cool!  I appreciate you listening to us members and finding a way to help!

I greatly appreciate the addition of the time on the half cent ones. It's spared me some extra clicking today.

Thanks!

I like the half of cent. It is cool.

I simply refuse to watch a 6 minute video for only 1/2 cent.  Luckily that type of video is not the norm.

yea its pretty bad and worthless wish you could open multiple videos at once. but hey sure does beat trying a survey and not qualifying. I think getting referrals is the best way to make extra money on top of offers.

[berthabutt]

Yeah, It would really be nice if they let you know the length of the video before you click it on.

 1/2 cent videos in my humble opinion should be 10 seconds and a 1 cent video 30 seconds at most in length.

[natashaspy]

i'm not complaining either, I just don't do the videos very often anymore and try to find other ways to make the $

I think there should be a set ratio of maybe 1 cent for ever 2-mins. So If you watch a 6 minutes you will get 3 cents. I do feel that 1/2 cent for 6-min video is way too low.

Yeah, It would really be nice if they let you know the length of the video before you click it on.

They have put the time on the 1/2 cent videos -- it is VERY helpful and very much appreciated by me!!
