Watched and Video and Then It Said....
« on: September 20, 2013, 02:21:19 pm »
I just watched one of the "Watch the Video" Videos for 1 cent and it lasted for 234 seconds (almost 4 minutes) and when it was done another page came up and said "We were unable to play a video for credit. Try again in a minute"  :BangHead: Really?..... :BangHead: I don't think so.... just proved my point not to waste time on llllllooooonnnngg videos or the 1/2 cent videos.
Kinda sad  :crybaby2: that you work hard doing tasks and videos and many times the pay just doesn't come thru. :crybaby2: :dontknow: :crybaby2:

I have had pretty good luck with most of the videos.  although there are some that I have done that I'm sure I didn't get credit for.  The only 1/2 cent videos I do are the shorter ones.  The 5 minute or longer ones just aren't worth it even if you want to work on something else while they play.

I usually just let those long 1/2 cent videos play in the background while I work on a few PTC sites. If it wasn't for the fact that I really need the money I probably wouldn't bother with them, either.

I watched that same video I think (all 4 minutes) and got the same message ("we can't credit this but here's some cute kittens to look at" or something like that). I had a half-cent video that was 6 minutes long, didn't bother with that one.

Also I still think the long 1/2 cent ones should be worth more when you watch two of them.  I agree it's a pain to watch one of the longer ones only not get credit for it.  Fortunately for me that doesn't happen to often.  I avoid the long ones too.

I have had two or three videos that did the same thing. I have had a message saying something about not being able to pay me but here are some cute kittens to look at as penance ...    No, thanks!   :BangHead: :dontknow:

Yes it can be frustrating when you try to do something and not receive your credit.  But it is a good way to get your 5 offers to do the paid to click.  I have been having a problem with the radio play it just a black screen, so I do understand your frustration just try a different one and if you want to try that one again than try it.

Most have played for me, I have gotten the kittens a couple of time and closed out of it.  There are a couple I open that say watch the video and there is no video just sign up for something that will not let you.

Sometimes the 1/2 cent videos are significantly longer and take longer to credit.  You don't usually have to watch the whole video.  I refresh the account page until it credits, then I move on.

A message should have should up at the beginning say you would not get credit.  Ithink they were just showing you the kittens for entertainment.  They were cute I watched it knowing I would not get paid though.  Sorry God Bless

I have the same problems with some of the videos.  I skip and go on with the next one.  I din't waste time to do the 1/2 cent one.  I try couple of time sometime they credit me sometime don't... Even I watch 2 videos 1/2 cents one.

I have had good luck on watching videos. Some videos are not worth watching a long time for just a half cent. A message at the beginning would have been better then not getting credit at all.
