Survey site is forcing me to play app games. Cunning!

It can't be more cunning than this.
They used to send me surveys and i am willing to answer them but, games, no, it is a waste of time for me. You need to download it as an app, kill your fingers with playing, level ups are too slow and so on.
Well, this one survey site, 4-5 days ago stopped including surveys. I thought i was answering too many times but no, there are no available surveys at the moment (even the icon is gone) and i have no other choice then to play games.
Like Garfield with Jon, I'm not happy.
Your experience, mylotters?

I stopped answering surveys when one site at some point I needed a payout then they kicked me out so I closed that chapter

@Laurakemunto i also experienced that the site thanked me for filling out the survey and then they didn't pay me anything. they are fishy. very low earnings and then cheating part.

I don't download anything a site asks to download. I just delete the app and find something else to do.

@grenery8 I stopped doing surveys several years ago. They always let me finish the survey and then claim I'm too old for their demographic so I don't get paid for doing the survey but they keep the data from me.

@DaddyEvil you are right about that, they are still holding our data but not giving us a chance to qualify for their surveys. yes, their age policy disqualified me too. i said good things but more things we suffered for better sake but, not anymore

There are survey sites that offer additional ways to earn money besides answering surveys, such as playing games. They require you to download the app through their link, allowing them to track your progress. You earn points or a set amount of money for reaching specific goals or levels in the game.
I’ve tried it a few times and did earn something, but it’s just not for me. The level requirements are often too high—either the payout is too low, or the goals are too difficult to reach. It’s too time-consuming, and I don’t have that much time to invest. After all the effort, the earnings just aren’t worth it. So no, earning through games isn’t for me. But I'm stickin' with surveys though. For me, they’re a much better option—they don’t take up as much time as games do. Answering surveys is easier and more manageable for me compared to playing games.

you are absolutely right. i also enjoy surveys; sometimes find out about some things or enjoy them in general. about games, you said it all. in 3 days, i was stuck on the same level and realsied they were cheating me so, no more.

I just stick to the three survey sites that work for me in my location. And I am not a big fan of surveys. They are still offering surveys. I am not interested in playing online games and more so if I have to download an app for that. I don't download too many apps.

@grenery8 Oh! Sorry about that.
I too find too much of apps annoying and slowing down my phone. I have never downloaded any app for earning.

@arunima25 thank you. i did but gave up cause their policy is not honest. also, as you said it, it's nicer when there is not much apps to slow our phone down.

I can''t play those games and I'm not going to try. Many of them have to be played for hours, continually, to get anything like a gift card, or whatever the goal is. I don't have that kind of time to do that, I am hit and miss in here the way it is.

I forget who it was, but someone here on mylot once posted that they played a Temu game for a year before they won the game, and got something (very small)free. I can't imagine. I would rather read a book or spend time with my family or friends. Just a big no from me.
