If there is one thing that makes me sad it is earning through unfair means. I have been writing on so many sites over the last twelve years and I would like to say I am grateful for opportunities to earn online.
However, I always see people using unfair means to earn. Some use a bug or a loophole in a site to make it profitable for themselves without really earning like the normal members do.
There are the others who create many accounts interact between the accounts to get themselves more points.
Then there are the plagiarizers, who copy the stuff others have written and post it as their own.
Then there are those who just type alphabets Yes I see that too.
I just like to say When we try to do these thing we kill the goose which lays the golden egg. Its sad to see so many sites vanish these days, we are partly to be blamed .
Earning online is getting harder because we make it hard for sites to survive and thrive.

I think one of the reasons some good sites closed down was because of this problem. These people are everywhere, perhaps just around us as well. I always wonder if everyone plays fair, everything will be nicer.
I’m not involved in a landmark hearing, so I don’t know that … the only site is Virily, dear friend
Oh okay, thankfully I don’t see much of this happening on Virily
Strange things are happening, dear Dawn
So true, it’s unfair and should kick out from the game.
Sadly Tiada, they kick the site out before it kicks them in most cases.
So true, they kill the site most of the time.
Many paying sites folded due to the spammers. One was Bubblews.
The problem with Bubblews wasn’t just spammers, they paid so much more than they should have and they didn’t care when we reported people. In fact one of the admins there was having a great time with a member and upvoting her all the time. I enjoyed that site.
Unfortunately, it happens the ones who use unfair methods make it more difficult for the ones that use the right and correct methods
That is so true RasmaSandra. I hate to see good sites going down.
That happens on most sites unfortunately.
True Carol, most earning sites face these problems.
I have seen it on sites that I was a member. However, sites such as Hubpagers took steps to make the site a good place for people to find information.
Not only do they destroy the site owner(s) hardeork in creating a site but destroy the site’s reputation including genuine users.
Well said Introvert, Hubpages always came down hard on such people. They made sure that they never came back.
Earing online is a challenge, but I will keep trying to stay as active as possible on here.
Meant earning on line not earing online lol.
LOL I understood it and even read it correctly, i only noticed the mistake after your second comment.
There are a few users here on Virily that have been moving very fast. I worry that one of the problems that create, is it doesn’t produce revenue for Virily, it only produces revenue for the users.
I have been watching that trend as well Doc.
yes, it is a little alarming as it impacts all of us later!
I haven’t noticed this so much here on Virily. But I am pretty new here.
I saw that at Bubblews and reported too but the owner gave it a blind eye as looking back I think the owner earned too with those spammed views the spammer got
Gaming is what I have noticed at several sites.
Bubblews had various other problems too , they paid way too much and didn’t get the spammers out. I agree they never bothered too much when we reported spammers.
