for them. The next thing I knew, the review stream website was publishing nasty comments on my article about how my reviews lacked value and how I only care about money! I was more than surprised, to say the least.

Not only was this completely unprofessional, it was also major creepy. You see, when you have an account with review stream, they don't even know your name. Just your user name and email address. I am not even sure how they figured out that the article on Triond was authored by me!

Another major problem with this site is that you must reach $50 to be paid out. That doesn't sound like much if you're being paid $2 a review. However, if you only make the $0.40 then you must write 125 reviews to be paid out. If you follow the theory that reviews should be at least 250 words long, that means you'll have to write 31,250 words at least! That would take a considerable amount of time and effort, to say the least.

I currently am sitting at $44.80 owed to me. I've sent them a few more reviews but have been completely ignored, which is not unusual for this site. I'm fairly certain that I'll never see payout but will update this article if I do. In my opinion, it just isn't worth your time to write for them.

This site really requires a major overhaul to be more user friendly to both review writers and readers. The way the site exists right now, I think that it is more of a scam than any sort of legitimate writing site. There is no way to get feedback about your writing so you never know if you're doing something wrong or something right. I am planning to keep plodding along on this site to see if I will ever actually see a pay day. I've made $50 in many other quicker and easier ways and would not recommend this site to anyone.

What is most troubling however, is their rudeness and lack of professionalism when dealing with their writers. I have spoken to many review stream users who have had just the same sorts of experiences which I've described above so I'm certain that I'm not the only one that has experienced a huge lack of disrespect on their part. And to top it all off, some of the emails I've received from them are written so poorly that they are barely readable. And these are the people who are judging your writing.
