In minuteworkers, I found many cheap and unsuitable jobs.
For instance, the workers will get $0.10 for signing up three of the following Paid to Sign jobs as below:
1. jillsclickcorner, 2. myinstantgpt and 3. dollarclickorsignup.shiftcode
The instruction is to Signup, confirm and to login at the respective accounts.
Although this is a simple task, I totally reluctant to accept this job for $0.10 .
If many workers accept this task, I am worrying the relevant employer will be granted.
Later, the employer will post more similar low wage but many demand tasks as this.
Don't you agree? Shall we work together to boycott this type of task?

I never get myself into such sites who said they supply jobs for us. Hmm..looking at the job or micro tasks given I don't think my time is worth for that price at all. I will not waste my time, my email ID and my personal details just to sign under someone referral's links or something like that. Not worth at all~(^^)

Leave the site friend. I don''t have any account with any micro job sites because I can see the problems before I get into it.If you are about to get your payment perhaps you can continue it but if you are still far to get the payment it is better to stop now.

You should try it too.
Even though the main site is not so good and the site admin is helping his investors or the employers, but not so much to the workers, we still can earn something from the forum easily.
Try it. I just cashed out and collected my Second payment by Easy Method Payment at $2.00 or more.

If you don't want to do the job, don't do it.
Boycotting a particular type of task will have absolutely no effect on the employers. This is the same argument I hear in freelance writing that "slave-labour wages are destroying the market".
This is a global economy. What's too low for you might not be for someone else and refusing a low-paying job will not stop employers posting them. That is, not unless you somehow manage to get about 60% of all the users of the site to boycott. Which isn't going to happen.
Just don't do the job. Set your own standards and work to them. You can't control anything more than that.

Definitely I shall not accept those jobs which I dislike.
The main purpose of posting here is to share my point of views with other members of minuteworkers and mylot members.
Other than this sharing, everything will be beyond my control because I can not stop someone from doing something online with his right.
Moreover, I am not an enforcement officer.
ha! ha!
If someone likes to invest in scam site even though he or she knows about it, then this is their wishes.
However, I shall totally agree to you by setting my own standards to accept and work on certain jobs.
I also want to declare that when I really need the $0.10 in this particular job so that, I can hit my minimum cash out threshold, then I might consider to accept once.

Yes, you are right. This is definitely the logical answer.
Since I am still having some balance in my account, I shall leave it strategically, don't you agree ?
If I attach to here and there for a while and simply leave them whenever I dislike, at the end I can not collect so much from my earning.
In my mind, I shall leave a certain site at the right time because it is still paying the members.

I do active in both of the the sites, Microworkers and the Minuteworkers.
Honestly, I totally support your claim here.
In my personally view, the Microworkers is definitely better than the Minuteworkers.
Although I managed to collect my few payments from thsi Minuteworkers, but my major earning was from the Forum of this Minuteworkers and not from the Main site of this Minuteworkers.
I hope this Minuteworkers can change the method they manage their Main site in the hope it can be another Microworkers.
