I really don't find too much to complain about here - I honestly love the new layout and the 1/2 cent videos have been fine... BUT.... I just now clicked on my 2nd 1/2 cent video and it is 6 minutes long! I understand FC can only pay us what their advertisers are willing to pay, but this seems a bit much. I'll watch the video, get my 1/2 cent and move on, but I really do not care for this. :(
-
I noticed that too. One of the videos was 1/2 cent and 10 minutes long! Can't remember which one though.
-
Yes the really long 1/2 cent videos are a tad annoying, and unless you have multiple monitors you cant even go do something else while they play. I just started it and went to go make a pot of coffee while it was playing.
-
I did a video for 1/2 cent and it was 8 minutes long. I can very well understand if it was 2 or 4 minutes long, but 8? You have to watch the video in its entirety to get $0.005 cent. That is unheard of. I liked it better when I watched the videos and was paid 1 cent. At this rate, to earn 5 cents, you have to watch 10 1/2 cent videos just to do the paid to click. I can understand a lot of things, but this makes no sense. :o :o :o :wave:

I agree it is annoying it is nice to have videos but the 1/2cent is not worth it to me. It would be nice if FC could let us know how long each video is. Some videos are quite long while others are short and many you have no idea how long it is going to be until the entire video has finished. On occasion I will have a video that for whatever reason takes forever to load that I just have to exit out of. Much of the slow loading is probably on my end but it is hard to tell. Like all things online, sometimes things go smoothly and sometimes not. :BangHead:
-
To further add to the annoyance with these you have to watch two to see if they even credit! So that first eight minutes may have been all for nothing.
I've just been avoiding any half cent ones longer that a minute or two. It's not worth it.
-
I was having trouble not getting paid either for the videos that wree 1/2 cent. I figured they would get it straightened out sooner or later.
-
no problem for me
-
I agree, it would be nice to know the length of the video before clicking on it. That way, I could decide to do it at the time or wait til later. :)
-
The 1/2 cent videos just don't work for me :sad1:
My time is too important for me to watch 1/2 cent video, even if it is a minute or two it is just not enough.
I choose to overlook them and move on.... to alittle bit better pay on the 1 cent (or better) videos or something else on FC that will make my time worthwhile. :star:
-
oh really that's frustrating
-
Yea i agree with you! 1/2 cent for a 3 to 9 minute video. That's not right. Sometimes I don't even get that. some times there is only 1 1/2 penny video and no other what I don't get paid. :BangHead:
-
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.
-
I do not like the 1/2 cent that i would not do. I mean i love the site but I do not have the time to watch a 6 minute and get a half a penny and how does that show up on your account do you have to do 2 to get the penny because I tried once and did not get anything.
-
right! i dont get that whole 1/2cent deals, just give us the dam full cent lol
-
I had a 1/2 c video that was 6 minutes long today.It was the King Ramen Burger recipe.Six minutes is a long time for 1/2 c,but I had already watched another half cent video and needed it to finish the cent.The other video was only 30 seconds,which is a much more reasonable length of time for a half cent.
-
I have had it today and a couple of times before, and while I'd love more I am just very happy to find something. (It is way easier than some of the tasks :BangHead:). I usually do videos while eating breakfast or dinner, or I can read the mail or pay some bills. 6 minutes can fly by ;)

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.
-
1/2 cent for six minutes seems a little cheap, I agree. I also watched though to get the second half of my one cent.
-
I know what you mean. I watched that 6 minute video a 6 times and the biggest disappointment was I was not credited for watching it! I don't know what has happened but I have not received any credits for watching the 1/2 cent videos.
-
Those really long 1/2 cent videos are frustrating. Administrator, I appreciate your letting us know about the turn off feature. I hadn't noticed that.
-
I find some of the videos that so long for 1/2 cent really pushing the limit. The only good thing about them is i have time to go have a smoke, get fresh tea or just a break. So oh well.
-
right! i dont get that whole 1/2cent deals, just give us the dam full cent lol
If it even credits at all !
-
I'll keep them running in the background if there are no other offers... honestly I don't find it all that different from the radio offer. It's just a background earner to me.
-
Loving this thread as it confirms my decision to just ignore the video area like it were a loathsome disease!
-
A 1/2 cent reward for 6 minutes does seem rather stingy. If you watched 30 of the six minute videos (1 a day for a month) you'd have 3 hours of time invested and 15 cents return. I'd like to think we're worth more than that.
-
That's why you have to decide if what you're doing is worth your time. Pennies add up, yeah, but not if takes you nearly 10 minutes to make half a cent! There are better things on FC that you can be doing.
-
.1 cent makes more sense that 1/2 cent that is hard to comprehend, but I will take my 1/2 cent a hope for more.
-
That Ramen noodle video drives me crazy!
-
right! i dont get that whole 1/2cent deals, just give us the dam full cent lol
I agree why can't they give at least $0.01 There is no such currency as a 1/2 cent :angry7: A 6 min video is way too long :sad1:
-
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? :dontknow:
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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!!
-
I never get awarded for those :(
-
Yeah I agree. It takes more time for less money. I really like this site I just started two months ago, right now I can't get the radio thing to work right now.

If it bothers you, just don't do it.
Easy enough.... :)

Since the Admin added length of the 1/2 cent videos, I am quite happy.... I don't mind the 1/2 cent, I just don't always have time to watch a 5+ minute one --- adding the time helps me manage my time!

Videos ×18
what a great day for videos!!
Sep 9th
$0.18
Approved

I agree. I noticed that some of the 1/2 cent videos were very long. I do not think it is worth my time. They should make it 1 cents instead.
-
I agree doesn't seem fair but videos that have more value are like 1 minute 2 minutes. ???
-
Even though it takes a long time I usually let it play while I do other things. Lol
-
I don't mind the half cent videos, even the long ones. I'll take any paying videos I can get.
-
Yes these video's for 6 minutes long are hard because it takes to long for you can get the credit. I figure money is money and we can do them or not it is really up to us.
-
I like the fact that there is an on/off switch for being able to see the 1/2 cent videos.
-
I still think we should get a penny per minute for the videos. I just turned off the 1/2 cent videos. :P
-
You'd be surprised at how many other sites also give 1/2 cent for videos. I've even seen 3 videos for one cent. The company probably pays less for them so we get paid less. I just pick and choose which ones I have time to watch. ;D Some are really funny and entertaining and some are just lame, but I usually watch anyway. The on and off switch was a good idea for those who don't like the 1/2 cent videos. :peace: :heart:
-
I like the 1/2 cents video's most of the time these are the only ones avaiable when you live in Canada.
But I dont like that my video page is full of video's that are not avaiable in Canada, it whould be nice if FC tells you beforehand if you can do them or not
Just like with some of the task where it says For Canada only
