Well I do not mind the concept, it is certainly better than no videos or than the impossible to complete task.  But I did not keep track of how many I watched that did not count I have had a total of 4 (.02) over 3 days actually credited.  So there are either so major bugs or something up with it.  Not worth my time for no credits.  I will wait and try again sometime in the future.

I think it long time too.  But oh well better than nothing.  It have the one with one cents too.  Yesterday I didn't get credit for it but today I recieved credit too.  Don't know what wrong but I think Admin should take a look.

I've had trouble getting some of these to load as well. And the 30+ minute video for a half a penny is pretty ludicrous. As long as people are willing to click these offers, we'll keep seeing them. I've become somewhat more selective about what seems worthwhile to me.

I was just going to post something about the 1/2 cent videos. I don't get it at all. I mean, did FC really have to cut back so much to not give us a full cent?  :dontknow:

I love   :heart: FC --- but I cannot see  :confused1: watching a video (especially one for as long as they are)
and get 1/2 cent.  :sad1:
I did watch at least 2 and was not credited, :crybaby2:  which only further confirms that they are definitely one more thing not worth my time.
My time means more to me that 1/2 cent for a video.
Better than nothing you say - I say NOT for my time!
Just my opinion. :D

I clicked on one...there was no ad...it instructed me to complete the ad, but it took me to an interactive site and did not instruct you as to how long you needed to watch videos or play games, or do other things...too time consuming or I just didn't click on the right things...I tried several approaches...just went on and on  :dontknow:

Love the pic you posted!!  Made me laugh.  Half cent is a little weird but it is still free money.   ;D

Of course it would be better if all the videos were at least $0.01.  The thing is, having the choice to do these videos is better than them not being there at all.  I highly, highly doubt that FusionCash is profiting more and passing less of a reward on with these videos compared to the ones paying $0.01+.  It's just a case of the advertiser offering these at a lesser rate, which in turn means our reward is less.  FusionCash can't offer them at a loss.  Blame the advertiser, not FC.

I would much rather have FC throw every single offer our way that is available to them, rather then withhold some because the reward is tiny.  Every little bit adds up in the end.  Ultimately, you have the choice whether you want to watch a video for 30 seconds - 3 minutes for a 1/2 cent.  If it's not worth it to you, don't do them.  For those who finds them worthwhile, it will just help them reach a cashout faster.
Yes, I'm sure it's not FC lowering the rates. It's the advertisers paying less.

how many times have you ever seen something go down in price lately, gas, groceries etc. keep climbing. everything goes up, but for some reason we are expected to believe that the pay for something drops by half over night. nothing comes down i n price, it always goes up.

That really isn't comparable to this situation.  Your comparison is to services the consumer pays for.  With the videos, you're being paid to use the service.  If a company can charge more for their goods, and consumers will continue to buy them, of course they will inflate the price.  For this instance, if users are willing to complete the offers at these lower rates, then they are going to offer them at as low as they can to get the target amount of views they desire.  Less cost to advertise, means more profits in their pockets.  If you were selling/advertising a product and could either put it out there and get, say, 10,000 FREE sets of eyeballs, or had to pay $200 to get those same views for the same ad, what would you choose?

As always, the consumer has recourse.  If you think it's not worth it, you can boycott them and instead sit back as the others watch their accounts grow from watching them.  If enough people don't watch them, maybe the advertiser will increase the amount paid to FC.  But, ultimately, in this economy where people desperately need money, and also in the case here where sometimes users need every penny they can to reach a cashout, I don't think there will be enough people boycotting to show a difference.  The Admin already said in another thread that these new 1/2 cent videos are already proving popular.

Me?  I'll keep clicking, when I have the time, after I dry up the other higher paying videos and offers available first.

I have watched several of these 1/2 cent videos and, like others, I do not believe that I received credit. I can not always tell because sometimes the video credits are bunched together.

I also flinched at 1/2 cents videos for 3 minutes or so but, truth be known, no one is making me watch them. Some of these 1/2 cent videos were less than one minute long.

It's all about choices.  I think many people here are happy with the 1/2 cent videos because every little half cent adds up.  It's easy to watch a video.  You don't have to strain your brain.  You don't have to watch it if you don't believe it's worth your time.  I think it's great that FC gives us all these different ways to make money.  If you were needing a few more cents at the end of the month before you could cash out, you might be very grateful to have some half cent videos to watch.

In the grand scheme of things I guess I should be more disgusted that the ad survey went from $1 to 3 freakin 5 cents in over a month. :angry7:

Look,I don't want to be the squeaky wheel,but lets face it.Who pays in half-cents?In the "real world" most people won't bend over to pick up 8 pennies much less spend two or three minutes trying to earn half a penny!

And don't even start trying to give me the "Referrals is where it's at!" line.Very few can get referrals let alone get them to stick with it.(I imagine that's why the referral bonus is so generous.) I had a hard enough time trying to get referrals when the surveys were a buck each.(Telling folks I earn half cents make them look at me like I got a hole in my head.Good luck getting a referral that way.)

Other PTC users I know earn at least a buck a survey on their sites.I'd just like to see the payouts for a survey at least stay a dollar here.

And keep the videos a penny.Please. :P

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!
