I'm feeling totally bummed this afternoon. I've had two of my favorite sites tell me I'm not getting paid to do what I use to! First it was Tone A Day - changing their program so that now we work just as hard but are entered to win prizes instead of getting paid? No thanks. Why waste my time when there is not guarantee of getting anything for my time?
And now I just found out that Sidetick is no longer paying its members to search around the site, look at photos and comment their friends.
Is anyone else being affected today? I surely can't be the only one who is bummed out! Will you just accept the changes or will you be in search of new sites to replace these ones? I'm still trying to figure that out for myself.

Well, as you know I'm not in Tone A Day so that one doesn't affect me but Sidetick does and I'm really upset about it. I am hoping they will change their minds. One other time they changed the rules to where you had a answer a survey twice a week in order to get your 1,000 blog points and it was a disaster so they did away with it after about 2 weeks and things went back to normal. I'm hoping that with the uproar from it's members that something similar to happen with this issue.

Well it's good to hear that they've had issues once before and actually changed things to make everyone happy again! That at least gives me some hope! This certainly isn't the first time I've had sites quit paying. It's just really unfortunate. You have to work so hard to earn so little and then they take even that away from you!

I am not with either of these sites but if this were to happen to me, I would have to stop going there as often. My time is limited now on the computer since we are down to one computer and with the new baby my time that I get online has to be worth my time right now.
I am fed up with a couple of my sites so I told hubby that I wanted an hour online to look around for new sites to sign up with and see how I can increase my earnings per month.
sorry to hear about your sites, I hope you get some good responses and can decide what to do about these 2 sites.
Happy mylotting!!

That sound's like a real bummer. I was never involved with either site so it hasn't affected me personally, but I can understand how that would be a real damper on your day.
I'm sorry to hear how the day has gone for you. Hopefully you can bounce back and find sites to replace the old ones. I have heard that toonaday was a writing site. Have you tried Triond?

ooh, I've had this happen with survey sites where they went from paying a little bit for each survey to being entered in a prize. I don't think it ever quite works out for the site.

toneaday is scam site for me as I never received my qualified earning from them and I was pissed off with their lame excuses on the feedback forum.I am afraid sidetick will loose it members because of new changes.

Wow, I would be super upset. I signed up for Sidetick but I never really got active there. What do you get paid for now, at Sidetick? Is it even worth it? And as far as Tone A Day (or whatever it's called), I've never gotten into that one, but that's too bad. Is the recession hitting these sites? Perhaps... 
. It's so hard to find a legit site that actually pays you pretty good, so I can understand where you're coming from and how frustrated you are!
