Video Length an Payout
« on: July 23, 2014, 10:18:58 am »
Does the length of videos and small payout drive anyone else nuts?  Don't get me wrong, I love the videos and sometimes watch them for hours, but sometimes they're 15 seconds and sometimes 10+ minutes, and both are worth 1 penny.  It seems like the longer ones should be worth more.  Sometimes you get credited for the longer videos after a few minutes, but more often you have to watch the whole 10+ minute video.  And sometimes they still don't credit even after the 10 minutes.  Grr.  Vent over.  lol

Videos have been very flaky for me lately.  I get a lot of the videos that are geared to the opposite gender, so I can't even watch them, which pisses me off.  Many of the videos I can watch don't credit.  Soooooooo, I usually just stick with the HyperMx videos because I have no problems with those at all.  I can't really say that I've seen any really long, drawn out, videos.  If they're that long and it gives you a clue as to how long the video is, I won't watch them.  Ten minutes is a bit much for one cent.

The only videos are crediting are the HyperMX, Trial Pay, click thru health offers, and the ones that ask what year you are born. All others are not crediting. I have seen the 1 cents that are more than 10 mins but that's too much for a 1 cent video.

If it's too much time for a penny, just skip it! That's what I like about FC, you can earn money in whatever way works best for you. Find what works and keep at it.

I generally do videos while doing something else, whether its eating breakfast, looking at the mail, paying bills.  I treat it like watching tv,  it works well except for the hypermx ones you have to click every 10-20 sec. It makes it easier too when something doesn't credit!

If I open a 1 cent video and it's longer than 5 minutes, I close it out and won't watch it just on principle.

The videos are great but the 1/2 cent videos i often skip because those are the ones that are very lengthy.

I often have to travel and use personal hotspot so I avoid anything iffy and it really really pisses me off if I eat up data on a video that doesn't pay...lol lol  :glasses-nerdy:  If I am on unlimited at home I will do the longer ones after I have done all the others and just let it play while I do something else around the house.. :peace:

It's very easy to watch tv and do videos, especially during commercials.  I also like to do vids while I am eating :thumbsup:

Yes they are very annoying, but lately they do not pay anyways, so I do not even open them. I do the other ones, like th HPMx, the oroes, mike, trial and the health ones and I have been able to get at leats 5 cents a day

I would like payout on videos based on video length, but sadly they just aren't. That's why in particular when I see a long length for a video, if I do not have other things to do as well I don't see the value and the electricity to have this streaming. On occasions I will just do it if I just don't have any other avenues to meet the 5 cents minimal for my paid click access.

Yes yes it does. One half center for 45 minutes I'm like you got to be kidding me. Most of the half centers and one centers are actually worth it but when you go five minutes and above for a video and your just getting one penny or a half cent its really not worth the trouble then
