RedGage: scam at worst, waste of time at best.
As soon as I started hearing people talk about this RedGage site like it was the best thing since CVS ExtraBucks, I knew something wasn’t right.
At least with ExtraBucks you end up with necessary household basics, like laundry detergent and an arsenal of at least 3 to 6 teeth-whitening dental weapons.
If you are an active member of RedGage, what the hell are you thinking?!
Hm. Not the best start there; let me try again. I’m sure everyone contributing content to RedGage has read the site’s terms of service and privacy policy, right? So, knowing that you are an intelligent and web-savvy group of people, I can’t help but wonder: why are you still trying to make a buck from this shady excuse for a c
Dammit.
All right, look… RedGage freely admits to sharing information about its members with unnamed third parties, described as “sponsors,” “business affiliates” and so forth. The TOS and privacy policy assure us that no identifying details will be shared — only your IP address, and your patterns of activity on RedGage.
… wait, what? Did somebody all of a sudden make it impossible to identify someone from their IP? Because, you know, I had this crazy notion that such identifications are made ALL THE TIME.
I’m not saying I think the 20-year-old kid who runs RedGage would knowingly violate his own terms, but… oh, hi! This is me waving at you through a really big loophole.

Hi Daniel, thanks for your response. I actually didn’t say that I believe RedGage is a scam. I think since we have no guarantee that your advertisers will respect our privacy, it is wise to be cautious. That’s my opinion.
Do you have any advertisers at this point? If so, I’d like to know who they are. Also, who else works for RedGage and what are their job titles?
And, finally: why does RedGage pay its affiliates with the Visa debit card system rather than by PayPal or check?

Daniel had the same problem trying to post a comment as before; not sure what’s up with that. Anyway, here’s the latest from him.

just another deceptive money making site. coz well, the contest’s gone. obviously just a sneaky feature to attract users. but really, there’s no way for you to get paid a decent amount for promoting their site. redgage is just gonna pocket all the below minimum payout accounts. even good contents never get featured for the bonus. site sucks really. i hope ppl would think about time they waste on the site trying to earn CENTS, wow CENTS.. redgage gets rich, not the ppl who use it..
