Video Wasteland
« on: December 18, 2016, 03:32:52 am »
I am very disappointed in the videos of late.  I am starting to wonder what it's going to be like in January when everything seems to go downhill on these sites.  I have had to resort to 1/2 cent videos to try for my usual video goal.  HyprMx has all but disappeared for about a week now and Watch This Video has now been gone for about 5-6 days.  When they are on my list, they don't have many videos loaded.  So disappointed with this being the holiday earning season!!!

On top of this problem, all those 5 and 6 cent videos from Slide Zoo and what is it...PuzzBuzz, or something, have never credited for me.  I have attempted 4-5 over the past few weeks, and nothing has happened.  I've tried taking my time, liking them as directed on several social media,clearing my cache, even allowing the push notifications they wanted me to "allow" but nothing.  What a scam!

Fusion, what the heck!

(I just had HyprMx for 2 or 3 cents..I can't remember before it disappeared and "X" ed out all those Slide Zoo, etc. videos.  Sick of seeing them on my video list and knowing they are useless!!!)

I was thinking of beginning a discussion similar to the one that you just posted. For the last week or so, it has been slow making my five cents plus by viewing videos. I have been able to do it but it has often taken a long time over a period of hours. Fortunately, I have had more success with surveys than I usually do and that has saved the day.

I have hordes of videos on my video page but most of them do not work well for me for one reason or another. I have no printer. I have problems with the slide shows, etc etc. Of all the videos on my page, there are less than five that I can view and get credit for.

It may be this way until the end of January but I believe that it will pick up again, eventually. We have had slow periods in the past and then we are pleasantly surprised when our video page runneth over.

I appreciate your remarks and knowing someone else feels they are in a similar boat.  However, I feel there should be more consistency and a more proactive role on Fusion's part.  Re-set them, update the system, or contact whoever provides the videos/incentive, and do something so we are not wasting our time.  I, for one, would appreciate being able to get around $30/month or so without having to put in an exorbitant amount of time and hope-just hope-that I will be lucky enough to complete more surveys than usual.

I echo everything that's been said here. I'm relatively new here, but still, it's been rough lately. A few weeks ago, it started picking back up, then trailed off to barely making my .05¢ PTC money every day. In nearly two months, I've only been able to get (as of this posting) $41.63 and that took a lot more work than I wanted to put into it!

Have to agree with the exception I haven't even had Hyprmx and my 1/2 cent have been loading a 404 error page for the last week or so.  I have not been able to get 5 cents from videos in days,  my only savior has been the hopster coupons (I use only what is needed to get the 5 cents) and they will not last if they are they only way.  Seriously I am not even trying to make a lot just the barest daily minimum(not being greedy) and it has become next to impossible.

It has been a good video morning. I made 7 cents very easily and think that I will be earning more as the day progresses. Check your  video page!   :)

Congrats on all the FC who got the videos this am.   Tonight is kinda sad in that area.

I think they are all used up by the time I get on.  All my half cents keep leading to is a 404 error page (404 means page not found) so I guess it means they have been used up.  No hypermx, no watch this video,  thankfully there was a Dailybreak offer for 8 cents which credited easily and quickly.

That is the first place I go every morning.  But lately most of the videos dont work for me.  I have struggled the last couple months but hoping it will get better after January.

I am having problems with getting credit for the video I watched. This morning I watched this video slide show of 10 things you did not know about Christmas and fill in Captcha phrase when prompted and had not receive any credit. This was a 6 cents video. I had problems with other videos too not crediting after watching them. Anyway, have a nice holiday!

Yes, at least the dependable HyprMax are back; however they are the long 10 click ones but there are plenty of them.

That particular type has been extremely tricky to get credit.  I know there have been some who have had success.  But I have not with those and they take so long,  I don't mind trying something that might not work/credit if it is a quick,  so I don't even bother with those anymore.

They aren't back for me! I've resorted to doing Hopster coupons, which sometimes work and sometimes don't, but right now they are better than nothing. I don't like having to wait a day for them to credit, though.

My hyprmx comes and goes, but I hate the 10 step ones. I don't even bother.
