Avenue Viral - Inappropriate?

[kjstrukel]

Even though I never bother with the Avenue Viral stuff, I do scroll though and I must say I was dismayed to see this:

"AvenueViral - Extremely Easy Ways to Die"

I cannot understand why FC would allow an advertiser to post such an offer.  I know the "rules" say not to criticize advertisers, but this is EXTREMELY inappropriate  -- I am frankly shocked that Fusion Cash would allow such an "offer".

I saw that too. I felt the same, why would even the advertiser put something so terrible online?

Yes that is a bit extreme. I haven't seen that one.

Could it have been a spoof?  Or maybe it was meant to be educational, i.e. a warning about texting while driving or smoking.  Did you look at any of the slides?

I did not see that one.

why do you care you got your money

I wouldn't want to "get my money" (all 1 cent of it) by watching such an offer.  The offer was gone  from the video list within an hour of my post yesterday, so maybe the powers that be agreed that it was a bit innapropriate.

I think you are right as it was kind of ... Hey this could happen if you do this.

I imagine they will remove it now!

Oh wow, I'm sure FC just imports the offers, but I'd like to know that they at least moderate them? That's terrible, perhaps it was just a misleading title? It could've been talking about extreme sports or something?

I saw this one as well. Not sure if it's still in my list, but I didn't click through.

I do not recall any of the specifics now, but I am pretty sure that I completed this AV on another site and this is exactly what it was.  Maybe not in the best taste, but not as nefarious as it sounds.

Avenue Viral almost never credits for me anyway. And now it is the main thing in the video section. It takes so long, and is just click bait. Yes, that is inappropriate and that is why they wrote it

I saw this in the video section too. I just did not bother to look into this.

I saw this too and was kind of surprised.....but I looked through it anyways

That is good to  know.  Perhaps I overreacted!
