I have been a little busy lately and, as a consequence, I have not been writing much. If you have visited my blog before you will, no doubt, be aware that I am spending some time ‘reading and rating’ articles at Read Bud to see if they eventually pay up at the end of it all, or if, like so many other people I reach the minimum payment threshold and discover that I wasted my time for nothing. Nada! Zilch!
How is it going? Slowly.
In my last post I reported that the site was down and speculated that the world may have seen the last of Read Bud. It was back up the next day though, so I continued with the process of ‘reading and rating.’ It’s about as much fun as watching paint dry, by the way.
As I mentioned in a previous post, many people report that as soon as they reach a balance of $30 in their Read Bud account the amount of articles offered dwindles. In the same post I confirmed that the same thing happened to me. I can now further report that as soon as the balance in my Read Bud account reached $40 I found that I only got 3 articles to rate and it’s been the same every single day: 3 articles; no more, no less. It is going to take a long time to reach the $50 payout threshold and I am supremely confident that when I do reach it (if I reach it) I will not get paid. I really don’t know why I am wasting my time. There must be easier ways to make money. Like selling a kidney, or something. Fortunately I am not doing this for the money. I hate scams and if this is another one I am itching for the chance to add my voice to all the other voices that are warning people about Read Bud.
Anyway, we will see what we will see. I’m going to watch some paint dry.
