Video offers

[melodylogan45]

Why do most of the video offers like exxon mobile and pacifico for example,
Have age and gender restrictions. I am a 49 year old female.

Anyone else having this issue?

I have had it w/Direct TV...and a couple others...but not very many.

Because apparently women don't drink beer, watch sports or change the oil in their cars, lol.

I am having the same problem. I am a 69 year old female and can not view most of the videos on my page because I am restricted from doing so. Some of these videos have been on my page for weeks and I still can not view them.

The advertisers pay Fusion Cash per viewing. These advertisers are targeting a certain audience. They may be looking for men who are between the ages of 21 through 34 or they may be looking for men and women who are between the ages of 18 through 39. They want to reach the audience who they believe are more apt to use their product or service.

I understand because I work in market research and we are always looking for certain age groups as well as sometimes, gender.

I am glad that I can make my 5 cents viewing other videos but I really like the Matomy videos.

I can't get most of the videos because of my age.  Evidently I don't drink wine, don't care about Nat'l Geographic, Pacifico (whatever that is,) don't watch TV etc. etc. etc.

I have not got them to open up for some .

Well I think they know that women do all these things...but their target demographic is going to be one where their sales/exposure is DOWN.  So you know, women already like Mike's and other malted beverages, in many cases...but guys often perceive it as not "manly" (probably due to expletive-centered nickname for wine coolers and malted drinks), so they are trying to improve their reach w/in the young macho dude demographic.

I get the nat geo ones, though, and the bordeaux...just not direct tv, exxon, or pacifico. The Rumchata one is clearly aimed at women, so I imagine it's always good for a penny.

it seems there are more and more of the videos that are restricted in some way
