    I "believe" in them in that I believe they exist.

    I do not participate in any of them because I do not want to give my opinions or personal information out to strangers, even if it means getting paid for it. I have concerns over how that information could be used.

      I didn't vote because I'm not quite sure what sites you are asking about. I've heard of the click to pay kinds of things and I honestly don't know anything about them. There are also a lot of sites where you can earn points or do surveys and a lot of those are legitimate and I do some of those myself.

        I do swagbucks and I have made $1000+ over the past two years. They're very reputable and I don't have a whole lot of trouble making around $75 a month, but it depends on how much time you have to devote to it. I do surveys and watch videos mostly. Also you can get points for searching on their search engine.

        I also use irazoo but it is harder to earn points so I basically just concentrate on swagbucks.

        I can refer anyone to either site if you're interested, or you can go directly there and sign up.

          I know of some, but I don't personally use them. From my (admittedly VERY limited) experience, the return on your time isn't worth it... I had a couple apps on my phone that gave you points for your normal usage (checking the weather, watching a video, looking something up, etc.) and made a grand total of about $5 during ~9 months of using them and sometimes actively trying to earn extra points. Not worth the time investment IMO, I have better things to do than to click links, navigate websites, and so on.

          Minor afterthought, so ETA:
          My bank, a couple of my "regular" restaurants, and some other places do ask me to do surveys occasionally, either for an immediate "gift" (normally free food) or like a drawing entry for a cash prize. I'll often do those, because they're normally pretty quick, many give a pretty good bonus for doing it, and if I conduct business with these places on a regular basis and like them, I'm more than happy to help them improve.
