As some of you may be aware there is a new emerging social media app called WeAre8 that operates in a very unusual way as it doesn’t have much content and it pays you small amounts of money to watch ads (otherwise the app seems to be ad-free down the feed). I downloaded this app to give it a go and see if it is a real or a con and needless to say this experiment has taken me 5 multiple months and here’s my findings:

I downloaded the app near the end of October. Then, I waited for it to show me the pop-up to say that I can watch ads so I therefore watched them all and then the promised money went into a pending pot that I could see on my account. However, to withdraw you need a minimum of £1 so I continued to watch ads so that after 30 days once the money moves from pending into the available I’d have enough. So, a week ago the opportunity presented itself and I had the opportunity to withdraw and it said it could take 1-3 business days which is fair enough so I did even more waiting as 3 days isn’t bad considering the amount of waiting I had already done. Anyway, a week later with no money in my PayPal account therefore, I have come to the conclusion that either they have issues or the whole thing is a scam which is annoying as I have nearly £6 pending but at the end of the day at least I’m not doing this later down the line. I have given the app a bad review on the Google Play Store so we will see if I get a comment from any of the team or not. However, I got a response from them that said it was an issue and the next day I received my payment so I knew it was not a scam. Now, it’s August 2023 and I’ve still continued to use this app from time to time and I obtained £25 and I withdrew it and it came next day which was brilliant.
