Actually, doing this has started really getting to me -- all the info I'm giving them about me for ~ $.10 per round. Then, I just remembered to do "CCleaner" on my computer, and I see all the cookies they've put on me, even though I think I clear the cache in more minor ways often. I know, the latter are a fact of life nowadays. The point: We sure are selling "ourselves" cheaply, especially during these droughts.
Different data points at our home. We're not seeing anything that would be considered unusually slow activity as far as frequency of offers. Mrs.bob12403 and I continue to get pretty regular offers from e-rewards, about 2-3 per week per person, and I earned just over $16 in e-rewards in September. It does seem that we haven't qualified for quite as many full surveys recently, but that's something that happens periodically with e-rewards. For example, in August I earned over $40 in e-rewards on virtually the same number of offers as in September.

Overall, not experiencing any "drought" here, I'm happy to report. (And to your point about updating the profile: other than answering their occasional surveys that earn e-rewards by providing additional profile information, I don't think I've gone in and actually changed my profile in about a year.)
