Is it that Bad?

Switching the paying amount is not the problem. What matter is that they even change the amount in user's account balance, which means Ciao is take the money back from members. This is ridiculous. I hope this is just a mistake they made and will fix it.

i'm dissapointed as well.this will only benefit those who really writes well at ciao.those pro and gifted..

Today i have seen over 10 posts on ciao.lol Many people are disappointed with it. I am also disappointed a bit. Because i was thinking to write some reviews there. I knew that they are thinking to reduce the review rate but did not knew that they will reduce it this much. Well i am not sure what they are thinking. Microsoft bought ciao. So this may be a strategic move for them. They may increase it later. And i don't think this is unfair to reduce the price. They have to survive also. Whatever happens but i think it is a temporary decision. In future there will be changes.

Hi big tom, I am a member of ciao. I have been writing on there for a little less than a month. I try to write to earn my dollar, but when I look at what some other members are writing I can totally understand them changing their payment system. There are so many people copying each others reviews, or writing such nonsense that the consumer would never think that their review was helpful. I wouldn't pay $1 for junk either. I knew it was coming, I could feel it. The bad apple always ruins a good thing, and I know that this was the case with Ciao. I plan on sticking around and seeing what happens. I have a nice group of reviews already, and I invite you to check them out, my screenname is the same here as on there.
