Has anyone else noticed this? I'm wondering if they're throttling my account because I earned too much too fast or if they're just lowering the earnings potential in general.
Yeah, that's happening to me too but I'm probably one of the big users/abusers as well. I used to be able to rack up 300-400 points a day just with videos and now it's been cut in half. They added captchas to the auto-running nCraves a few days ago and you have to respond every 3-4 videos. Before you could let them run overnight. The Laptop nCrave is only 3 points for me (was 6) and takes twice as long. The Coffee Cup is faster but I only see 2 or 3 of those per day. The regular videos are greatly reduced in quantity and points. Gone are the three 12-pointers in the Travel section and now everything is 2 or 4 points that used to be 4 or 6. However, there's a better availability of Laptop Guy sponsored videos now.
I really don't blame them and I wondered how much longer I was going to be able to get away with it. At least they didn't cut me off entirely.
