I hardly ever click on ads but I saw one pop up while using a news and sweepstakes app ( a legitimate o e) for free Tide detergent and the ad didn't look too scammy, so I clicked on it. Sure, it made me take a few survey type questions but then it got to the point where I had to jump through hoops. They ask you question and question for what you think os a feee sample... and if you answer yes, they sign you up for an offer. Luckily I was able to catch this and said no to everything. They'll even ask you a question like, are you a Christian? If you answer yes, of course they are going to prevent you another offer. See, I used to do market research so I don't fall for any of their crap. The problem is, if you answer no to everything, you don't want us getting any free samples. If you want a free sample, you have to click redeem on the site. After you click redeem, it takes you to another page which makes it seem like you have even more offers. If you're smart enough, you can find the correct redeem button but once you click on it it takes you to the manufacturer sites where you have to sign up with them all over again! LMAO what a joke. They're just praying on people who think they will fall for "friendly questions" and a site filled with fun colors and fonts! Well, expect to receive dozens of spam emails. I gave my business number purposely. I can't wait to respond to some of these calls. Avoid this site at all costs. The sad thing is this could potentially be a decent site but they relied too much on scam tactics and bait and switch.

Many people claim of the liberal bias within quora. Well I can tell you, coming from a progressive Democrat as myself, I actually agree. That may come as a shock but I found that quora seems to be a popularity contest. It seems to be the Super cocky Elite tend to "win" in terms of which answers are placed at the top. Of course quora corporate will say that they have an algorithm that is fair but all it takes is about a month on the site to realize that there is a unfair bias. Quora uses favoritism and actually has a system that gives more Merit to certain people that give up votes than others. Imagine voting in an election and your vote carries more weight. Not cool right? Well, take the answers on quora with a grain of salt. From my experience, I found that the answers with maybe four or five up votes are the most reasonable Solutions the most people's queries. The ones with 2.3 thousand votes, you might want to avoid them.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm not a woo-woo guy but I am a believer in UAP Activity, Ariel phenomenon and few other subjects - I follow all of the big names on the topics and some people that are a little less known. Occasionally, I stumble upon the abovetopsecret website and they have some interesting things posted. It's not a site that I frequent often but I did spend a good amount of time browsing the forums. Good lord. Tons of right wing false rhetoric, verging on the alt right - These are people that actually believe fake news. That's hurts the cause of investigating real cases of Ariel phenomenon and UFO activity. You need someone who is based in science, technology and reality. But reading through quite a few threads, I say if you were into the whole UFOUAP phenomenon or even supernatural topics, stay the hell away from tfalsehoods. It's not useful for objective and constructive discussion of these topics. These people aren't open minded. Not to disrespect anyone, but there I say they are paranoid schizophrenics. These are people that I have major your trust issues. I consider people who study UFO phenomenon my brothers and sisters and but I don't know what to say about these other people... There is a huge difference between someone being open minded and someone with a mental disorder. The only reason I gave an extra star is for the actual website content that I come across sometimes. But the forum Is so egregious, that it actually takes the overall rating way down. It's a shame. Here we are trying to get to the root of the truth and you have a forum full of people who literally live off of falsehoods. No good.

  • SurveyJunkie

Although their platform UI web page is designed well, look forward to disappointment, frustration and anger. I've been doing survey junkie for a few weeks now and although I have cashed out a few times, it's probably averaging something like $2 an hour. Maybe a little bit more maybe a little bit less. That's not the problem. The problem is when you complete a full survey and it results in an error page. You contact survey junkie, they tell you what's the clients fault. They then asked you for the survey ID. But of course if you didn't get credited with the survey, you will not see the survey ID in your history so it's a catch-22. If you really complain, they give you $0.35. I'm not kidding you. They will give you 35 freaking cents. This is a company that has no empathy. They pass the buck, and they think everything is all good. Well, the next time I cash out is the last time I'm using them. I wanted to spend an hour doing surveys tonight and I wound up spending FOUR hours trying to make up for the one hour of surveys that I didn't get credit for just to have more surveys not credit. You know what I did? I contacted the clients directly and told him about this. Hopefully I can get some sort of payment from the client. If not, I'm writing this review as a warning to potential users. If you enjoy taking surveys and don't mind getting $0.70 per survey, then by all means do it, but if you are trying to make a little bit of part-time income, run far away it's a shame because it seems like someone put a lot of time and effort into designing the interface of survey junkie. But they literally pay out peanuts. It's a crying shame. They kind of ruined my night. I'm done with them.

Tip for consumers:
Spend an hour, then log off.

I spent about $60. I ordered 4 items. 2 dress shirts, 1 Polo and 1 Blazer. All of them came Rolled up in one 8 1/2 x maybe 12 bag! Needless to say, the Blazer was wrinkled. The shirts are sized like they were for a large child, (I ordered Large) the quality wasn't the best and there was no receipt/packing slip in the package. Basically nothing fit but the blazer. And barely. I wrote them for an exchange or refund and they did reply right away but. Get this, They told me " why not give to friend as gift, we'll give you $5 as refund" Um, What?! So I wrote back a few times stating that was unacceptable and not professional and they said shipping was too expensive so I'd have to pay for return shipping and they also would have to charge me a 15% restocking fee. I told them I put the shirts folded back on the original bag with tags and didn't even wear 2 of them ( just saw the size). After the shipping cost, 15% restocking fee and not to mention gas to the post office, my refund would probably be very small. I may have to wind up either selling on eBay or disputing with my credit card company which is what I recommend others doing because It will be the one of the only thing that may get them to change short of a class action lawsuit! Rated two stars and not one because I DID receive the items ( took ONE full month and they were Somewhat as described.) Avoid for now
