After more than six months, I finally reached payout today. I know a lot of people here have condemned readbud, but I'm the skeptical type. So I continued reading the articles spending a few minutes every day just to get proof either way. I am about to find out which side is right. Has anyone beaten me to the punch and found out whether it really does make payout? That is, has anyone actually received payment? Or has anyone reached payout, requested payment and now waiting too? Did you continue clicking for articles? The site says they will make payout within thirty days ... Stay tuned!

Well, I stopped when I reached the 37 dollar mark, because they stopped giving me credit for reading articles. Then I checked back a month later and they started giving me money again; now I am at the 43 dollar mark, and some of my referrals are in the 30-40s, so I think I will try to go all the way. Keep everyone updated on it.

Hello wiggles - I too experienced reduced articles as I came nearer the payout. Today, I opened readbud and since I had $0 again in my account, I was given more articles to rate, about 10 of them. And to think that it is not even 24 hours since I last opened my account. Must be their SOP. It's like climbing a mountain.
I will announce at once if they do pay me. Keep in touch!

@dolcedaniel: how can that be when readbud started operating only around March 2010?

Well I am really curious whether they will pay you or not.I hope you will be paid for afterall you gave them the benefit of the doubt. Well me when it comes to online site I always take the safe side. I stopped working on Readbud after a direct evidence that it is a scam came to me. It is all written here if you care to read http://www.bukisa.com/articles/323273_readbud-get-paid-to-read-articles-a-certified-scam
I did not continue on that site anymore although I was already at &38. Anyway, I hope you can be paid my friend. Just keep us updated.

Although i stopped rating articles in that site more that few months already, i really wish that you will get paid. If they pay it means you're right in sticking with that site for that long on the other hand we, the skeptics are wrong and we just lost a potential fifty dollar earnings because of it. It will also decide whether people should stay with the site or not because not until we see a lot complaints, the claims that readbud is a scam site will just remain as hearsay.

Oh, now I`m very interested in knowing if you will get paid or not! Readbud really looks like a scam site to me, but I decided to try to reach payout to prove it by miself too.
Well, when you get news, please, keep us informed, as nobody so far has said to have been paid and it would be nice to finally know the truth

I will throw a mylot party and you are invited.
As for readbud being a scam, as long as I don't pay anything to them, I don't mind reading and rating. I know I will be disappointed if I don't get paid, but hey, as a result of reading their articles, I refined my online writing. I am getting more traffic in my articles now so I also profited off them.

I'm a member at readbud too. I don't know if they really pay because i heard alot of bad comments about it. Some said it doesn't credit our earnings while there are some who said number of articles decreased as we are nearing payout. I don't know how true is that, but i will take a risk. Right now, i'm somewhere near the halfway mark and i did notice some changes. Though i'm still reading 15-16 articles a day, but my earnings has been passed the $1 mark since i crossed the $10 mark. I will hold on til i reach payout, to see what happens.

Readbud has been greatly discussed here in mylot. Just check out previous discussions. I do appreciate other mylot members' points of views, and I hesitated at first continuing. But since I was only asked to invest time, and reading is a passion of mine, I continued. I don't know if I am lucky than most people because I only experienced decreased articles when I reached the $40s. I would only get about five articles a day. It got worse when I reached $45 as I would only get 2 articles for 24 hours. I did not notice because I would usually do readbud while doing mylot. I would glance at the articles to see if it interested me. Most of the time it would and I would do some cursory reading - sometimes even take notes. I inched along until I finally got to $50. Now I wait with bated breath ...

I've stopped going there ever since everybody has commented on it being a scam site. I even heard that this Readbud is operated by the big scam site AWSurveys. Oh my this's certainly is a bad experience online!
