I got up this morning and found three 2-cent videos. I was able to watch the first one and was credited. The other two I was not able to do because I am female, and one of the videos was for the Lou Ana oils. Why put up a video if you want only males to get credit for it? Has anyone else had this problem? ??? ??? ??? :rainbow:
-
I am also female and was not able to watch the Lou Ana oils video. I thought perhaps it was restricted also by age.
I thought it was silly. People of both sexes and of All ages cook!
I did get credit for a Fusion Cash Toolbar google search on the Lou Ana oil---that is how I found out what Lou Ana oil is:
LouAna Coconut Oil is ideal for baking, sauteing, and stir-frying, due to its excellent flavor and aroma. Coconut oil contains no trans fat and no cholesterol.
-
I agree restricting videos by age or sex unless it has mature content is silly. However advertisers pay big bucks to reach their target market. In this case the target market is male. :peace: :wave:
-
I am upset with these videos also, I try not to complain much on here but it is crazy to not be able to watch a video because of gender. Age I can understand if it were R rated, but really!
-
Yep, that sorta bugged me too ... of course I'm older so I got a double wammy.
-
I could understand it if you were 18, but the way we are being treated is a slap in the face. It's like saying because we are older our opinions don't matter. I am 55 and my opinions should count for something. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow:
-
Yes, I also had the LouAna Oils video, wasn't able to play it because of my gender. Also had another one this morning. Can't remember the name of it, but it was obviously for the male of the species, LOL.
-
I did not qualify, due to my age. :bad: I'm in my early 40's. My daughter is a preteen.
I never liked Adidas shoes. We always buy Nike!

No not yet.
-
Happen to me too, I DQ because of age/sex. Hmmm...
-
Yes, it happened to me just a short time ago. I don't understand it. Unless the videos are restricted because of mature content, the rest seems silly.
-
yes i had the same problem question is do any men have this issues on other videos
-
I am getting the message that it is for certain ages, but none seem to work! >:(
-
Yep, I have noticed this on quite a few of the videos for me not allowing me to watch them because I'm a male.
-
So stupid. It's a VIDEO. Why should your age or gender matter?
-
I've also seen quite a few. I think it is probably because the demographic they want to see it is male for some reason. Maybe they think more males will buy the product?
-
I was not aware that gender had anything to do with surveys taking. I guess you may be right.
-
I hate when the video is gender oriented, it should not matter, just pay me the penny or two...
-
Yes I have come across this and I don't know why they do this it stupid it should tell us it for male or females so I understand.
-
Today there were three videos for Hot Pockets. All of them told me they could only be shown once. I have seen one before but not the other two. I frankly do not get any of this.
-
I've seen it and I think it's silly too... the next day, I get a "sex change" and get to see the video
-
This age restriction/gender restriction is very upsetting to me. Videos should be for everyone.
-
Yeah it doesn't make any sense
-
I guess it is all about the target market. I can't say I agree with it, but I understand from a business standpoint.
-
I DON'T understand the business standpoint. I've seen some videos that you would think women would be more interested in and they turn out to be "male oriented." The only thing I COULD understand would be commercials about alcohol being restricted to people over 21.
-
I cannot get some videos because of being female but I'm more apt to not got them because of my age and that bothers me a lot more than being blocked out because of female.
-
Have been disqualified on numerous videos for gender AND/OR age. Sometimes the subject matter matches people with my profile and sometimes it does not. Just doesn't make any sense to me. ???
-
Yes, I find this strange too! Why does gender really matter? A video is a video? :confused1:
-
I have I have also been refused videos because of age or gender. I don't understand that myself. If you find out why, let me know.
-
They are advertisements, not just videos. Different advertisements and products are geared toward certain demographics. This is true of all advertising.
-
I didn't get to do any of the ones that were gender specific; guess they were just looking for guys. Don't think it would matter but guess whoever is paying FC figured it did matter.
-
I just do what "they" will let me do, if they Won't let me do it than I don't... I just do what I am allowed...
-
I can't do the Bordeaux wine video because of my age. Just to see what would happen I put in a younger age even though I wasn't going to do it that way as I'm not into cheating but I was still not allowed to do it. I put in 30 something so I don't know how young you need to be for it.
-
There have been numerous videos that I have not qualified for because of age/gender. Does not make a whole lot of sense to me; someone may not be personally interested in a certain brand of something but may be considering buying that something as a gift. And at my age, NOTHING offends me anymore.
-
There appear to be some secrets that we will never know, including why some Fusion Cash videos screen for gender and age. I'm sure it makes sense to the powers that be. ???
