It used to be that the "Video Rewards" were, well, videos. Now most of them are "Sign up for x", or click "y", etc. Can we please get rid of the video rewards that aren't videos.

It is also puzzling that so many of the video rewards are for signing up for different games.

Also in the video rewards are things that open a new window and try to redirect to facebook. I have blocked (yes voluntarily on my own network) facebook, so I don't know what they're trying to open there, but the video rewards should stay on the page and open the video, not try to redirect me to facebook. I know that HCS doesn't have control over these exactly, but they can perhaps make sure that the companies they're doing their advertising exchanges with aren't trying to trick us into something. Equally suspicious are the ones that are to download things like anti-virus programs from sites other than the real site of that software company.

I've quit video rewards. They almost never pay out and many require some kind of social media link. No thanks. I agree, too, that the games and sign-ups in the video sections is "dirty pool". They should not be there and it is disingenuous simply that they are. I understand it's not necessarily the Cows' fault.

The rewards need a refresh, methinks.

I wish I could see what you're referring to, however, here in Canada we are left without any videos whatsoever (unless it's hockey playoffs-and it ain't)

Just looked at the "updated" Matomy awards and the first two "videos" I tried immediately opened a new window and asked me to link to some social media site. I have no idea if there ARE videos to watch there, eventually, but it's not going to get me to find out.

The first "video" is still a sign-up for a game. Should be easy to investigate.

As for the Supersonic video I watched it about 6 times in the past and it never once paid out. I've cleared the cache, I've tried on a couple of devices. Maybe it just doesn't like me, but I'm done with IT, too.

The first Matomy video requires a download.

And all the others redirect you a 3rd party site, which shouldn't be allowed/required.

I've just been in the Matomy rewards. Underthe Video tab there is still one which requires you to make a download as well as watch a video, and one that appears to be just a smiley download. Then there are six where the mouseover says "Check out this great video on Via Me". Clicking on these takes you through to a third party site, and wants to connect to your Facebook account. I just tried one to see what would happen and the connection timed out. I don't think any of the above offers properly belong under the video tab.

i noticed that too that via me thing it wants u to sign up for is just irritating, i dislike facebook and im not going to log in just for rewards, and the matomy rewards barely pay out and most of its viruses, i pay for dots sometimes but i also do rewards, and ps i hate the surveys, click on one *15 min later* we could find a survey for you try again. *facepalm*

matomy in general has you sign in with facebook (on recent supposedly videos) ... then there is usually never a video there ... could you ask thme to look into it? or shut those type down? thanks.

Yep, surveys are a big time waster and they usually tell you your not qualified in the middle. most people lie on them anyways, biggest joke ever ..

While I do like face book, I don't want to log into it when I am playing this game. When I am playing FS that is where I want to be.
