It's not allowed to discuss other PTCs, but if they closed down isn't it bloody irrelevant ? It's hits4***
After 19 years they shut down - be thankful they lasted that long. Majority of so-called PTCs now are nothing more than ponzi schemes in disguise. The reason given by the admin is that advertisers are no longer happy with results. I don't know if this is rubbish or not but the PTC industry caters mostly to fraudulent ads and money making schemes, let's face it, the member base on said PTCs are not going to buy a Ferrari
The #1 niche for PTC is advertising HYIP and money making schemes, and other PTCs. Advertise scammy sh*** and you'll get good conversion, advertise real programs and you'll get sh** results. Real model PTCs based on. Then you have thousands of people mass advertising the same bloody ads everywhere creating saturation so of course the results will not be as expected. The number of scams online is increasing, so potential to advertise these on PTC, but I guess this not a model that every advertiser subscribes to.
ClixSense is a PTC and massive rewards site, can it survive without PTC ? Yes. There are not that many "PTCs", actually most SO-CALLED PTCs are PONZI schemes. The majority of income comes from expensive upgrades and renting of bots referrals. You will see these sites come and go all the time, lasting few months and shutting down. Some manage to last longer like PROBUX
Is PTC dying ? Yes, people can't be arsed to earn 4 cents a day anymore, with offers and tasks as a good earning opportunity and still people are being greedy and CHEATING, not thinking of the future. So with crowd and offers / GPT as a good alternative to earn, people move towards that. The problem here is international users who cannot benefit form surveys / offers or many tasks will have a hard time as they rely on PTC element. So those would simply shift towards other sites, regardless of whether they sell bots or not, scam or not, ponzi or not, the QUICK ways to earn will always get most work as people want to make $$$$ and not work for it.
What will happen to ClixSense and NB ? nobody knows. Will NB be the last man standing ? Who knows. But if there are no other PTCs left to advertise, how would they survive ? Advertisers will find other non PTC sites - It appears NB is advertiser friendly, they accept ANY ads, HYIP, MLM, pyramid, etc, as they place the entire responsibility on the reader. So they could survive - What about those who rely on referrals. NB is king of traffic
so if they lose the PTC, referrals would go along with it, then it means a large portion of the member base will be in shock. So if CS and NB shift gears, a good % of international members might feel left out #1) CF is doomed, rubbish tasks, crappy task authors, crappy support, I don't see any good future for crowd tasking. Automation is getting better and better and only a small % will be manual eventually. Offers - a lot of scammy offers and rubbish surveys, and these are mostly tier 1 friendly with very limited exposure to non tier 1. I feel at some point GPT will get overly saturated and suffer eventually. This will translate into dilution of jobs and earnings so you are right back to square one. Will the dying of PTC help revive the stagnant HYIP industry ? YES. With BTC gaining in popularity I expect the number of HYIPs and revenue sharing rubbish to flourish in the next years........
Nothing will replace getting a real ******* job ! but the availability of legit sites where one can earn a supplement to income will become scarce, over shadowed by the scams !
