Why I Reject Get Paid to Watch Ads Offers as SCAMS to Avoid


It's disappointing whenever I start to look for a financial Youtube channel and I land into those who end up getting into scams. For instance, I subscribed to some of them that are now endorsing cryptocurrency and even Axie Infinity scholarship. This reminds me of several articles I wrote back such as why I reject Axie Infinity, a review on the Netflix documentary known as Trust No One: Hunt for the Crypto King, why I don't recommend people to invest in cryptocurrency. Now, with the pay-to-view ads trend--I really am skeptical not ever since I also write an article on why play-to-earn is too good to be true. I feel it's too good to be true and I'd like to talk about this one.


I feel this video is too good to be true for this reason. Where in the world do those who offer the pay-to-view ads program get their money to start with? Last time I heard, advertising is where somebody pays you to advertise them. For example, Adwords users pay money to Adsense to get their reach. Ads appear on various websites advertising their products. Earning through ads is because there are advertisers who pay the company to advertise them. 

This is rather very suspicious since the money generated is way higher than usual. It's pretty much like how a Ponzi scam works. Those who initially enter it get a huge slice. What happens next is that they start telling people more about this offer. I think these get paid to watch ads offer work in a similar way. They get some money from X and give it to Y. How can anybody offer you, for example, PHP 10,000.00 or even higher in a day to watch several ads? It's very different than if somebody asked me to write an article for this blog (which nobody hasn't) and I get paid a certain amount. It's different than if someone paid social media or ad services to advertise them. It's different from paying radio, newspaper, television, or any media to get one's product or service known. Getting advertised means you need to pay a certain fee. Advertising is when you get paid to endorse something. This is very different and a great reversal. 

I believe it's too good to be true to get paid to view ads. I'd believe it if someone asked me to write a review for them and I get paid for it. It's because if I write a review--I'm effectively the one advertising for them. If someone pays Google to advertise--ads over other people's blogs and websites are essentially the billboards. I really suggest to stay away from this one. I suspect that, sooner or later, these companies will start asking for more money, there's the possible danger of spyware and phishing, and it could also cause computers and mobile phones to crash. That's why I wrote some time ago that if it's too good to be true then avoid it

Filipino Manufacturing's Golden Age ENDED Because of the Filipino First Policy

Here's a picture from the Dose of Disbelief Page on Facebook. Here's something that it wrote: Filipinos once trusted locally made products more than imports. Before World War II, the label "Made in the Philippines" carried prestige, not stigma, reflecting a strong sense of national confidence in domestic production. Local products such as shoes, cigars, textiles, furniture, and food were often preferred over imports. This preference was rooted in the belief that local goods were better adapted to local conditions, tastes, and were often of comparable, if not superior, quality. This period showcases a strong historical era of consumer nationalism and thriving local industries. We need to look into the context of Filipino history  If we look at the Philippine history timeline , we must account for 1935-1940, during which the Philippines was under the Commonwealth government. Independence was declared from Spain on June 12, 1898. However, there was a transition period w...

External Validations, like Masters and Doctorate, Mean NOTHING with a LOUSY Education System

I have the tendency to use my MBA as a license to avoid criticism. It's a real problem that some people use their credentials and/or academic achievements to try and win an argument. One incident I wrote about was Rep. Raoul Abellar Manuel flexing his "smarts" by using his cum laude degree to win the argument . It was all about how I would often say, "You're the moron because I have the MBA and you don't." There are times I felt like taking an MBA would make up for my "moral shortcomings" during high school when I was barely passing (and the passing rate was 80% , which is rather high), that I wasn't having honors, and that there was this saying, " Thou grades shalt determine thy future! " That, of course, has led to the reality where cheating is prevalent .  I wanted to make a review. I took my MBA in 2011 and graduated in 2014. I always felt that the MBA program was what I needed to become "invincible". It was also at ...

No Hard-to-Earn Economics Degree is Required to Know That a Welfare, Anti-FDI Philippines is Destined to FAIL

GMA News When it comes to constitutional reform, I'm afraid one of the worst sources quoted would come from the Makabayan Bloc. Some people I face who are so against FDI also want to end the OFW program. The solution comes out rather absurd, as the Philippines must have its own state where it's all beg and beg . It would be like: "Free education for all! No to FDI for schools!"  "Free lunch in school!" "No to open FDI! The government must fund our local production!"  " Increase the salaries, lower the prices of goods! " (which is just plain bad accounting ) That's just a few of the crazy demands that have been given! My favorite question has always been, "Where will you get the funding?" The usual answers can be: " Print more money! " "The government should just make it a law!" "Tax the rich all the more!" which can often be accompanied by, " After all, it's the fault of the rich that p...

Why I'm Not in Favor of Nationalization of Utilities Mixed with Protectionism

ToonPool There's the call of leftist fools to stop privatization. Many still believe that utilities should be run by nationalization rather than privatization . I've been reading on Facebook where some fools believe that allowing foreign telecommunications companies (telcos) to invest in the Philippines will "risk security". Any telco will risk security if there are no laws to regulate it like the Data Privacy Law. Just because I support private enterprises doesn't mean that I say the government is hands-off. On the other hand, the government has the duty to set rules such as fair compensation, proper employee treatment, safety measures, and the like to make sure that we remain in healthy competition. Some people who keep protesting against the privatization of industries I believe (1) want the government to provide for all the needs of the people (which leads to dictatorship, eventually), (2) have some agenda as to why they're doing it, or (3) these people ar...

COMMUNIST Vietnam Has Defeated DEMOCRATIC Philippines Again This 2025

Cổng thông tin Trung ương Đoàn TNCS Hồ Chí Minh A few days ago, I wrote about warning Filipinos that they shouldn't wait for more unmitigated typhoon disasters, before realizing that the Filipino First Policy isn't working ! There's a statement that says, "Just because being tanga (inattentive) is libre (free), doesn't mean you should be tanga!"  Analyzing the different policies: why policies  matter I found a Business World article, written by Cesar Polvorosa, Jr., on my Facebook news feed discussing the Vietnamese economy . In fact, it would be better to share some hard truths that the article offers about what really went wrong with the  democratic Philippines compared to Communist Vietnam : DIVERGENT ECONOMIC MODELS  Vietnam pursued an export-oriented manufacturing strategy which has proven significantly more successful over the past half century than the Philippines’ service-heavy, remittances-dependent model . Export performance alone tells a compe...
