Your name is still the same, maybe you need a new pair of spectacles

They might as well remove Bitlabs here. The lowest of lows I have seen today 19 minutes, 4 cents, BitLabs. I bet you that same survey can be found on other rotuers for $2.
$0 earned here........
$4 earned on 1 other site, and yes I checked everything here FIRST, 1 sayso rewards $1.30 fixed router other site + 1 dynata REX fixed router 75 cents + LiveSample $3.00 survey on advertising. Quite disgusting what is happening here.
I am beginning to think all those survey pay rates are just accounting tricks used by GPT, maybe GPT site owners get a fixed fee per complete, and the GPT owners just randomly assigns rates up and down, in order to give some high rates, they have to give many low ones to pay for the high ones, who knows, this is just speculation - What leads me to believe this is that some sites are offering FIXED pay routers, for example SaySoRewards $1.30, so it leads me to believe partners are getting a fixed completion fee, even LUCID has fixed routers on other sites, so I would not be surprised that with those 5 cent, 20 cent surveys, someone somewhere is getting $1.50-$2 per lead - I guess it depends on the deal each GPT has, maybe there is a % on market rate + fee or fee only. PollFish ahs become garbage too, every time I get those RARE PollFish survey, instantly as soon as I see it I click on it, good rates, latest $3.00 PollFish, and I get "Survey has expired", off quota now I get near a half a dozen back to back, it's impossible to earn anything here anymore.
I have not gotten a single off quota on another site. Though earnings are still low, but $3-$4 is better than $0 here.

I dunno about bonuses, but I saw one big bonus to start the year, a 20 minute survey on BitLabs for 8 cents. I cannot understand how did BitLabs go from a decent router to a CRUMMY router. The whole idea to add routers is to give us more earning potential - clearly not the case here, the only hope for higher paid surveys is the direct invites (occasional one) from Samplicious, ironically

What a load of utter tosh - you are not missing anything Tasmsan1, this has has gone down the pits, it's 100% of OFF QUOTA OFF QUOTA, misleading surveys, scams, unpaid ones, fraud, survey pay rates cut 90% on ALL routers, ALL invites here now are crummy 30-60 cents, it's insulting and infuriating - it's hard to earn more than $1 a day here IF AT ALL.

Things are HORRIBLE here so far this year ALL sampliciou sinvites INSTANTLY redirect back to yellow banner, not even the samplicious circle loading, ISNTANT redirect, nothing recorded in history - Site had reached new lows. ALL samplicious invites are broken.

If you are not vaccinated [ like me ] you will never have side affect [ like me ]

Your theory is extremely biased, because of your situation - You live in secluded area, which has seen virtually no cases during all this time, so yeah your odds of getting COVID19 are so slim compared to living in a densely populated area.
ALSO, it is not about YOU, it's about protecting others too from getting infected You got a lucky break, because if you lived on this part of the world, or a densely populated country, nearly everyone got it - fortunately for MOST people it was just like a cold, anywhere from mild to moderate, and for a small %, severity, hospital and possibly death - but when you calculate even a tiny percentage on millions and millions, that number is still very high - so it's all about whether you want to gamble in the COVID19 lottery SAME for vaccines, think of it this way, your odds are far greater in winning the COVID19 lottery than winning the vaccine lottery

Amazing - I know a lot of people who would have loved to have you as their philosophy professor

Sure it won't matter to YOU if you are dead, but your surviving loved ones will notice and care, assuming you have any, but many who have died have left behind loved ones, kids without their father, mother, or both.

I took 3 doses of bloody vaccine in 1 year, enough for me, hopefully the vaccine's protection against severity will last long - new research shows that it can go beyond 6 months. I am not a big fan of vaccines in the first place, but I monitor the situation, if there is a new variant of concern that has higher severity I certainly will take a booster - but no more than once in a year time.

Number of dead in western world [ vaccinated world ] is huge but number of unexplained sudden dead is now bigger since most people are vaccinated.... fact your chance of dying is now bigger than for not vaccinated ??

What is going on ? I still think it is grand plan for depopulation world wide

Gotta love a nice juicy conspiracy theory What a load of utter bollocks - Yes it's true that vaccines can cause long term health problems, ALL vaccines, not just COVID, but the % is so small - funny how people listen to bullshit and don't listen to science - vaccines have saved millions, possibly billions of lives, vaccines has saved far more lived than it has taken. In our hospitals here more than 75% of COVID19 patients with the severe form were NOT vaccinated, as with all other COVID19 stay, vaccines do work, and save lives, your risk of severe complications from COVID19 far outweigh vaccination risks - remember also that you can get LONG COVID19, that may cripple you for weeks, months, years or permanently too - COVID19 can cause clotting problems, brain problems, heart problems, at far higher risk than vaccine events.

What is happening in China is normal and expected - they have adopted a zero covid1 policy - so no immunity, now that they changing plans and living with the virus, people are getting infected, without an existing protection so naturally people will get very sick and get the more severe form - eventually as the entire population gets infected and possibly re-infected, they will develop immunity and cross immunity, just as was the case in South Africa and other countries.

It's true that vaccines has caused death and severe events - BUT if you compare the damage caused by this g*****mned virus it's SIGNIFICANTLY higher don't you think ? Look at the numbers Tasman1 - how many TOTAL deaths were caused by COVID19 so far ? vs. how many were caused by the vaccines, let's forget the non mRNA vaccines and focus only on the mRNA. How many of those vaccine events were caused by the vaccine itself vs. improper administration of the vaccine, for instance inadvertent IV injection vs. IM - most countries do not have aspiration in their vaccine injection protocol. ALSO more deaths - don't forget that with this f*****g pandemic, many people with existing health issues delayed treatment, delayed getting tested, follow-ups, surgeries postponed, high stress, all this must be taken into consideration. Viruses can kill people, vaccines save lives, what is the mortality rate of COVID vs. te mortality rate of vaccines - BIG bloody difference.

It true low earning seen on ysemse is higher than ayet studio but Gee!

we're expected being optimistic throughout in2023!

and realistic too - just because we are instantly in a new year does not mean all of 2022's problems will magically disappear - it's important to be realistic - there is still war, and let's be realistic, it's not ending anytime soon. There is inflation, and it's not going down fast enough, supply chain is still a mess, interest rates are still going up, recession is now more and more likely, markets are set to sell-off, it's hard to be optimistic - 2023 WILL be a difficult year - what we can do is make the best of it and hope we can go through it. Things don't magically disappear or fix themselves. In a time where inflation is high and prices are increasing everywhere, it is a raging INSULT to us members here when we see drastic cuts in pay rates, it's unacceptable - considering you can do surveys for $1-$2 a unit on other sites through fixed routers. Once upon a time low paid surveys were found on offer walls only - stand alone routers had the highest rates. NOW it has become such that even with the stand alone router you have abysmal rates, similar to walls. Be optimistic for w hat ??? Are the prices going to go down, no, once prices go up they don't go back down, and you know it, things will get more and more expensive - Canadians are being ripped off with sky high electricity costs, it costs more money in electricity to fill out some of the surveys than the insulting reward we get in return.

Chasing false hope is a bad thing - I've been there before and it always ends in a huge bloody disappointment.

Oh yeah saw today on the news, Canada finally decided to REQUIRE negative COVID19 results from travellers coming from China - to that I say to Canada, too little too late, politicians only act AFTER The fact, China should do the same thing, add travel restrictions, the reason China is in this mess right now is travel, people coming in from the world and spreading the virus and variants - besides there is lot of corruption with tests anyway, Canadians and Americans have found clever ways to cheat tests during this pandemic, can we trust travel testing, no..... Now in theory one can look at this from 2 perspectives. One negative and one positive. 1) There are massive amounts of Chinese dying and/or being hospitalised because of the mass infections - this is the bad part, no lives should be lost - now the good part 2) eventually all population will be infected if not already - so you can call it mass inoculation - as everyone in the population will be infected they will develop immunity and hopefully cross immunity - Look what happened in South Africa, look at their numbers now - So the same will happen in China - but the price to pay, deaths and hospitalisations, unfortunately this is the only solution - people do not want vaccines in general, so the price to pay is that they WILL get it through natural infection whether they like it or not. Perhaps for China, the natural immunity is their best option, because their vaccine is weak and literally offers no protection against infection itself, too weak, and for severity the mRNA is far better. China will basically go through what other densely populated country have gone to.

Yes Happy New Year ahead

* Recession
* Wars
* Climate change
* Stock market crash
* Gun violence
* Crime
* Still high inflation
* COVID19 variants
* Extreme weather
* World conflits
* You will need 3-4 full time jobs to make ends meet, but no worry, there won't be any jobs!

Did I miss anything ? The good news ? If you have millions of $, your best investment will be in CDs at the highest interest rates you can dream of, lock it for a few years and select an option to get monthly interest payments for residual income.

Some Canadian banks are offering near 5%, or 4.75% if you choose monthly interest payments.

and good news for property sellers, you can now sell your $100k, 200 year old home, for $1 million

Cheers and stay safe all.

Forget it, let's pray for a three-body civilization to come to Earth. I think the speed will be faster.
Eliminate human tyranny, the world belongs to the three bodies!

Right, countries have a right to react this way, blame, sure, curse, sure, demand compensation, well there is no compensation high enough that can cover the permanent damage and deaths caused by this - nobody would be in this f*cking situation in the first place had the INITIAL outbreak been taken seriously and contained right away including all ban to outbound travel, then maybe this would not have become a world pandemic - What do you want countries to do to protect themselves, clearly it did not work for China - once the virus is there, it's there, mask wearing, restrictions lockdown, will not stop the virus, there is no end or solution - the only solution was 80% global vaccination BEFORE variants, herd immunity would be reached, we would not be in this mess - sure we can blame the world for not getting vaccinated on time - but the real blame is the source of the exposure - it does not matter who created the virus and how, but the INITIAL outbreak started in China, it should NEVER have become a world pandemic, NEVER !!! China is to blame and the WHO (World Horror Organisation), the JOKE of an organisation for not declaring a world emergency soon enough, but it's not surprising anyway when you consider the WHO is in collaboration with the CCP - the WHO disgraced the world. NOW can we also blame other countries for not immediately shutting down travel too to avoid incoming virus ? Not quite - because by the time it was known publicly that there were cases in Wuhan, it was too late. All it takes is for ONE infected person to travel, and that 1 person infects many others, and the cycle repeats - it was too little too f*cking late.

So much for the China vaccine - no proper vaccine, no proper treatment, it's kinda surprising - I had my money on China for being the first country to produce a vaccine and treatment - so this is very odd. So assuming this virus was brought to China from another country - then why the hell isn't China demanding investigations - after all there are virology labs in other countries, including the US - Why ? Well why would they demand for answers, when the answers are all there already - One interesting thing, they allegedly hired foreigners to work in their virology labs - but it does not matter anymore who brought the virus - If this virus had started in America and infected the entire world, everyone would be the first to blame the US, and rightfully so - The US can be blamed for a lot of things, but certainly not for this pandemic. Now if this virus is truly in the wild and started in animals, same blame - you cannot get infected from an animal unless you are in contact with them - animals in the wild are meant to be just that - left in the wild, not eaten, slept with, cuddled or whatever............Countries affected the most from this bloody pandemic should see their entire debt wiped clean in my opinion. But it will never happen - because when was the last time COMMUNISTS accepted responsibility for anything ?

No politician saved us from COVID - Trump said, drink Chlorox, but so much for that, I don't think this worked and then Biden made a promise during his sham of a campaign stating he would CRUSH the virus....... so much for that, his entire Presidency is a sham - what he did was crush the economy and everything else with it.

Nobody can save us from COVID19 anymore - it's a perpetual virus and as long as it keeps spreading it will create new variants - the only hope is that with time the variants will become weaker, infect mass population and create herd immunity, becoming endemic and a seasonal virus like the flu.....then we can relax a little until someone sends us SARS_COV version 3, where will this one come from, let's see statistically, I think we know the answer.

Yeah he has a lot of patience to put up with this site and the reward loyal users get is 80-90% cuts in survey rates....

The situation in China - Initially the world praised China for its zero-covid policies, because of how fast they manage to prevent outbreaks and waves - Unfortunately everyone was wrong, the whole world. Lockdowns and restrictions were never the solution - WHY ? Because it only buys time - The virus will ALWAYS be circulating AND waiting patiently. You cannot lock down people forever - so when you lift restrictions, the virus is infecting people. But why ? ONE WORD.............. TRAVEL. If China wanted a successful zero covid policy, it needed to do something more, 1 thing........ban all inbound and outbound travel for the duration of the pandemic - this would prevent new infections from coming IN to China - BUT there is no way China would ever do this - SO China is getting loads of infections coming inbound from travellers around the world, including variants.

Now China is seeing MASSIVE outbreaks like never before and lots of deaths / hospitalisations - but why ? Zero COVID policy means zero exposure to the virus, so a lack of acquired immunity, combined with their very weak and ineffective vaccine. Look at the situation in Africa, very low numbers, very low hospitalisations and deaths, they have been exposed and re-exposed and built immunity and cross immunity - lockdowns are not a permanent solution - Unfortunately the virus is here to stay, the only way is for it to infect most of the population, get people to acquire some natural immunity and cross immunity against sublineages of variants, with this in mind you will see waves of infections, but eventually fewer and fewer deaths and hospitalisations thanks to the repeated exposure and boosted natural immunity combined with booster vaccinations - the virus will be endemic like the Flu - despite vaccination, there are millions that DIE each year from the Flu. China now has to catch up, it will take a while before the virus infects the mass popoulation and immunity kicks in, it will take some waves and re-exposures, and eventually they will build immunity, and like other countries you will see waves but fewer deaths and hospitalisatino - in other words China is not exempt, they will have to learn to live with the virus like many other viruses including the Flu - it's the only way now to deal with this virus unfortunately, and sadly, China will see LOTS and LOTS of deaths - it's the side effect of trying to hide from the virus and avoid exposure, some might call it collateral damage.

One thing that IS disappointing - I would have expected China with its resources, to be the first to come up with an EFFECTIVE vaccine and possibly an effective cure - now it is ordering supplies of Paxlovid. You would think China would have found an effective treatment first, or better vaccines.

China's approach was the right one, EARLY ON - if the entire world had adopted this approach COMBINED with mass vaccination (at least 80% globally), we would not be in this situation - BUT right now at this stage of the pandemic and variants circulating, China had no chance, it could not continue on with its ZERO COVID it simply no longer is an effective method anymore.

Here's the big danger now China can cause - given the mass population and infections going, the speed at which variants will occur is much much faster - because replication of the virus is not 100% perfect, so the situation in China will cause potentially more variants of concern - since travel is not banned in and out, the potential for those variants to cause a world surge in infections - I think it will take at least 1-2 more years minimum for the virus to become endemic world wide as people develop immunity from infections and re-infections.

NOW whoever is responsible for this virus, no matter who they are and where they are in the world, that bastard is responsible for hundreds of millions of DEATHS, loss of loved ones, INNOCENT people to this g****mned virus, that or those responsible should burn in hell for eternity - there is no amount of money that can be paid to help - but of course God always forgives, even criminals - so whoever is responsible for this, they should repent and be sincere. There is a lot of theory that the virus could have come from outside - even though the outbreak started in Wuhan, some theories suggests the virus was brought in from another foreign country INTO China - it could have originated from the US or Europe - I have no doubt in my mind that the virus was man made and tested on animal - Fact still remains that China shares the blame for its mishandling of the outbreak in Wuhan and not IMMEDIATELY shutting down all travel outbound.

Virology labs DO exist, they are not science fiction - so whilst there is no hard evidence yet, there is motive, virology labs around the world are handling DANGEROUS viruses - the fact that nobody is held accountable and get away with this is disgusting - and now China's own population is at risk because of its government's incompetence. It's obvious now that China is getting its infections from OUTSIDE (other countries) through travel - SO.......shut down all travel - Not only is China putting its entire population at risk right now, BUT also the world at risk because of potential variants of concern, even new variants outside the Omicron lineage will appear in 2023, remember my words and refer to this post when this happens, there will be another major variant of concern - vaccines are useless now, because by the time a new vaccine comes out, a variant will outpace it - rendering vaccine weak against infection - but only providing protection against severity, but still a few folds less effective.

FINALLY Chinese population stood up - the same shit in our country, all restrictions were lifted, our hospitals are flooding, we still have waves, BUT our number of deaths and hospitalisations caused by COVID19 only are significantly down compared to original and Delta strains - hospitalisations are high because of sheer volume (more infections), so locking down only momentarily reduces infections, it never brought it down to 0.

Why assume not many surveys will be for you ? You do manage to get a staggering amount of surveys for your age, you don't know for sure that at 70 you won't get any, just wait and see. I am glad that FOR YOU, this month's earnings were your best for this time of year - However, I remember years where I would earn close to $200 every month, for the last 4 months of the year, so considering the very bad times for many, your earnings would be great considering. You have been a consistent earner here so don't assume, and wait and see, you never know. For myself unfortunately this site has become a dump, nothing is being done to address issues for people suddenly not earning here at all, the near totality of surveys I attempt here are off quota, instant screenout, garbage, junk invites, low paid insult, etc. I tried to give the site many chances and come back after months of absence from surveys here but it's no use - few minuets on another site and I managed $2.60, whilst today only 75 cents earned here, it's good that you work on multiple sites and still manage to earn so well here - BUT sine you are on a roll, wait and see next year before throwing the towel, in your case, you are sailing, watch and see. I'll do the same, even though my situation has been horrible here sine 2020 - Prodege does not give a shit about low earners here, the ones that are loyal and used to earn well, because they are doing well and their reasoning is bottom line first, DESPITE THAT, I will keep trying in 2023, though my main focus will be surveys on 1 other site, until I see decent pay rates here that are not degrading and insulting. Best of luck to you and all here. The only positive praise I can give ySense this year - cashout requests for this time of year have been processed very quickly, have they now finally fully automated these requests ? This is a big improvement - I made 3 cashouts this month, ALL were processed within 48 hours - for that, they deserve credit - for the rest, in my opinion the 3 new router integrations here are a SHAM - I won't settle for 10-20 cents surveys here when I can do $1-$2 surveys elsewhere - it's UNACCEPTABLE how things changed for the worse here and how UNFAIR things are - when you have countries and members getting the $2, $5, $10 surveys and earnings $20-$40 a day, and members of tier1 countries that were once earning 3 figures a month are struggling now to earn pennies - and the bloody low paid 10-20 cent tosh around here doesn't help.

As far as the market researchers that exclude seniors, F*** them, all of them. Seniors citizens are people still, who consume, who have opinions and who matter - So it's likely that once you break that age barrier you will have to work harder to get surveys, not all surveys restrict age - many consumer surveys and OPINION surveys can easily include seniors in their polls - nowadays 70 years old is like 50. Not every 70 year old is walking with 2 canes, wearing dentures, and has dementia - I know personally people in their 90s more in shape and active than the current generation of lazy slobs........

No thanks to BitLabs which has gone from a good router to a FRAUD of a router, with low paid garbage and instant redirects to yellow banner invites, nothing works here now, this site has the worst implementations of the routers I have ever seen, all YourSurveys are 22 cents, PollFish carries lucid CRAP and screenouts, 99.9% of all invites here globally are off quota, BitLabs a fraud that it is, a lot of 1 minute stuff instantly redirects to yellow banner, non working profilers, yeah I can already tell what kind of year 2023 will be here for earnings.

Can't even complete checklist bonus now because of the crummy routers and crummy invites.

tasman1 wrote: GP's text message error tells 8000 patients they have cancer: 'SICK JOKE'

A medical practice is being slammed for their major screw-up after thousands of patients were sent a deadly diagnosis just days before Christmas.

On December 23, Askern Medical Practice, which has almost 8000 patients, was meant to send out a Merry Christmas text, however there was a mix-up with the messages.

Part of the first text received read: Diagnosis – aggressive lung cancer with metastases, which the GP practice seemed to address to a doctor, asking them to fill out a form for the patient.
Then an hour later, an apologetic message came through from the clinic located near Doncaster, England.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the previous text message sent. This has been sent in error, it read. Our message to you should have read We wish you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year'.

How the F**K can something like that be "mixed up" ? You would think in that industry that stuff like that would never happen - it's the same thing as the surgeon removing both kidneys instead of doing a gallbladder removal

So basically this is like "hey btw, you are dropping dead pretty soon your entire body is swimming in cancer", and then moments later "Oh BTW, Merry XMAS".

The potential for heart attacks, strokes or other events caused by this text message is quite serious - I wonder if this type of mistake warrants sanctions / fines or lawsuits - If it were in America, you can bet your arse it would have been a massive lawsuit

Quote:
He was not the only one racing to the clinic, with a woman telling BBC that she was put on hold, and decided to head to the practice instead where she saw around six people all there panicking as they got the same text.
Another text-receiver, Carl Chegwin, as well as his mum, thought the whole situation was "some kind of sick joke" which was "enough to break someone".

Not everyone has the nerves of steel to take such news - for sure it can break someone, life long trauma, who knows maybe a mistake like that can cause real cancers eventually - sometimes a very sudden very sharp or prolonged stress / worry can trigger cancer or other. An apology is not enough, how can a mistake like that happen, so the clinic meant to text a DOCTOR, but instead decided to mass spam 8000 patients - how ? Unless of course someone was high, drunk, or both, this should be investigated fully, I mean ok mistakes happen we are all human, but they should look into it and make sure it was really an honest mistake and not someone impaired by alcohol - I mean after all it's England - so you never know

OK - whatever thing you are on right now, must be mighty strong - and I don't want any

Speaking of languages, can you imagine a world where we all spoke ONE universal language, no more language barriers, everyone speaks English If we all had the same skin colour, hair colour, wore the same worldly uniforms and education and essentials would be free and funded - the only thing you would pay out of pocket is for non essential goods.

P.S. Not a good time to read this post now - maybe when you come off that spicy Vodka and who knows what else
