There are two types of videos you see on the get paid to sites- the kind of general ones like MP has added where you can just kind of let them run in a browser tab while you're doing something else and the rate for watching is typically around a penny for 4-5 videos regardless of what site you're at. It's what they can pay users and still make a modest profit off their own cut from advertisers then.

Second type is more targeted ads that a company specifically buys and are higher value (1-3 cents per ad). In the last few days, think I've made about five dollars off the United videos on their new IFE service that you get at Swagbucks by finding and clicking on 'Laptop Guy' when you're on that site's front page.
