Paid to Click Sites- are they really so bad?

Tweet

I posted someting earlier today whcih partly extolled the easy money-earning opportunity of ptc sites. However, I was a bit horrified to find an almost overwhelming tirade of abuse against them! I had posted a comment, not long after I joined Mylot, which bemoaned the welter of people agonising over ptcs and their various merits.I replied saying that they should forget them and trying review writing, bookmaker bonuses etc. I then received a patronising comment from an American member who delighted in telling me that alot of Mylot's contributors' only viable means of income were via ptcs. Is this true? The reason I ask is because I gave ptcs a try and outwardly expressed earlier that they were a good way of building a slow-burn (admittedly)income. However, most responses have painted ptcs in a bad light.It seems I am damned if I do and damned if I don't! It's not as if the US dollar is strong against the GB pound!!! Ptcs are not for everyone, but I am in a reasonably privileged country,financially, but can still see the value of extra income. If ptcs are deemed as legit then why the problem? Surely there's no easier way to drip feed top ups to your income?!!!
