I did it. I quit Swagbucks for better or worse. I have been thinking about it for years but decided to finally do it.
There are many reasons. I won't go into them because others can decide for themselves.
I feel free. I will miss some of it and hope I won't regret my decision.
Did you ever quit a site you have been on for years? Did you find anything better? Were you glad you quit or were you sad?

I've quit 2 sites, I don't miss the waste of time trying to get those elusive points
I used to get good results mostly from both of those. As for swag, I will hang in there with them a little longer but I only do the poll and free games so I get 7 points a day.

I did quit mylot for several years and Crowdtap. Crowdtap the second time was pretty good, but now they are bad again. Mylot is kind of depressing in a way because so many have left, but I still enjoy it. It relaxes me.

@akalinus They seem to be good before they get sick of you. I would say you might be taking your chances if you use it

I quit Swagbucks for about two years when I was getting denied points for surveys they said I completed. I got sick of it. About four months ago I started back, and the money from surveys has actually been good. However, I understand having frustration given they prompted me to give up for a long while.

I just go with what makes me miserable. I do not have many happy places but like local bar used to love it, so fun. Then it became why am I still coming here and think every one noticed. Now I rarely go there but when I do its kind of fun again. The bartender last time took a picture of us so she could send to her mom because mom is still a bartender there but it reminded me of the fun we used to have.
Never mind this post, I thought you meant starbucks. lol This is funny.

@akalinus No place like home, so safe and warm. Probably should not say warm in summer but it is what it is. A persons castle should always be happy.

@crossbones27 This is a quiet and serene place most of the time. You can't ask for anything better.

I quit them a LONG time ago, cause it wasn't worth my time
to stay on line all day when I had other things I could be doing
& it wasn't long after that found My lot in it's place.

@akalinus I'm no writer & when I found my-lot online I thought I'd give it a shot
& after a few weeks of learning the ropes, it's been the best place I like to be.

I have been "quiet quitting" them and their sister sites for a couple of years now. I do not get bent out of shape about goals or get up at 3 in the morning for certain things. If I get points, good, if not then I go do surveys somewhere that will pay me. So I am still there, sort of. I had site quite me when I turned 70.

Swagbucks used to be easier to earn. Not so much now. I don't visit like I used to do

@akalinus Can Swagbucks really give viruses and Trojans? Shouldn't that be illegal?
I think I am on Swagbucks but I didn't like anything they wanted me to do on it. did other sites then grew bored of them and now do no sites but myLot.

@akalinus What would have happened had you called that number to get your computer back? It doesn't sound like they give you back your computer that easily, is that true?

Surprisingly survey are always none and that everyday single point from quiz is tiresome

I was going through a period recently on Swaybacks where I was in a real drought, where no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't seem to earn very many SB's. I was giving some serious consideration to quitting and looking elsewhere, but all of a sudden I've been on a huge streak lately. Just this morning I've already earned over 500 SB's. So I guess I will stick with it for a little longer. I guess there is always going to be ups and downs with any site, but I have noticed over the past year or so that I don't earn as many SB's as I used to. Oh well.

@akalinus You're right, it is a game. I think the one thing that helps me in the "game" is the fact that I don't get on the site everyday. I've noticed that if I go 3-4 days in a row of using the site, my SB daily goal shoots up drastically, but if I go a few days without using the site, my SB goal drops back down to reasonable (and attainable) levels.

Yes. But many times I was forced to quit. Sometimes I earned 4 cents a week on some sites. I preferred to give up. I was glad to quit because those sites are a waste of time. On other sites, I took long breaks. I quit Forumcoin too because they pay less.
