you must of been one of them kids that was always in trouble for not doing your homework, second you must pay IN cash for a pyramid scam, yuwie has better controlled content
i learned more about the net in one month on yuwie than i did in years. meet a lot of real great people
If you were half as smart as your pretending to be you would put this blog on yuwie and get paid for it. 500000 hits in one month i bet . you have a right to what you believe in but you also have a moral obligation to tell the truth, you HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT
i think its very unfair that some one might see this blog and believe your uneducated bull trying to RIP them off of a chance to meet some really good people and make a buck.
JOIN then come back with your rant thats the fair thing to do.

First of I'd just like to say that the ONLY reason these accounts were created a few seconds before posting is because like me, these people didn't even know this site existed and just came across it. And as soon as I saw it, I created an account so I could reply to you.
I'm a very real person, nothing fake about me, my yuwie profile id is http://r.yuwie.com/juliebray
My facebook account is
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=775725021
and my myspace account is

So if you still don't beleive i'm real person, my name is julie bray, i'm 25 yrs old, I'm from Bathurst, NB, Canada, I was born on september 18, 1982......Do I have t keep going?
Do you really think yuwie people have enough time to waste on their hands to go around and create fake account to reply to you? I'm sorry but you're not THAT important!
I've been on yuwie for 2 months now and I LOVE it, the people are great, the features, tools, everything they offer is true. I don't understand how you can go around talking like this about a site you don't even wanna try.
Not that you should join Yuwie, I don't think you would be very much liked there but how can you judge something without knowing anything about it???
Yuwie is fun, easy and fun and the fact that they pay the users is just a bonus.
And yes they really do pay! There is a lot of people on yuwie that don't even care about the money and just wanna make friends and socialize.
There are great group with great people. I have started a few group as well, one of which is a memorial group for 7 students and a teacher killed in a car accident in my home town. I have hundreds of members who post condolences and offer their support.
How can you say it's all a scam!
Exactly who do you think you are? You have no idea what yuwie is.
If you can approve of facebook, why can't you approve yuwie? It's the exact same thing! Just because they pay doesn't make it bad!
I've been stopping by everyday and you still haven't replied to my post...
What does that tell ya!???
Still think we're all fake???
Yuwie is great, try it out and stop blabbing about something you don't know...

We've all heard that Social Networking is the next big thing. Most of us (Myself included) jumped all over Yuwie before we realized the downside. The payscale is horrible. The vast majority of people there are making nothing, or maybe a few cents (Yes, Cents) per month. None of us will be retiring on a few cents per month. Also, you have to have views to get paid, so we all send and receive as many friend requests as we can, until we have friend lists thousands deep, and no one talks to each other anyway. A thousand friends you never talk to is less useful than one that works with you as a teammate. We are marketing everything backwards. Why is Myspace so popular? Well, for one, the people there are actually having fun. They are exchanging ideas, interests, and just hangin out. So why do we keep marketing these sites as business opportunities? Bringing people in, and driving them nuts with advertising and spam? The process should be much simpler. Social Networking MUST be "SOCIAL". Yuwie could have been a great site, rivalling even the giants of social networking if it was handled correctly, and people could have made some money (though for anything big, the payscale would need to be fixed) That being said, I think Yuwie is already too far gone. There are too many people stuck in their ways, and I think the potential has been lost. But.........There is still hope out there... Small sites, and relatively new sites can learn the Yuwie lesson. And we can learn from the mistake. As I said earlier, the pay scale needed to be fixed. I have found a few sites that seem to have corrected this problem. and One in particular (while marketing oriented and prepared to create wealth) is still small enough to maintain a "social community". I, for example have created some Disney clubs for our Disney Cast Members to hang out. A forum for Disney fans to exchange stories and pictures, and just generally get to know each other. Perhaps you could create a group or groups around your own interests. Something you could enjoy, and make money on at the same time. And there's an added bonus in all this.... If you've already made the big mistake in social networking, then you already have a group of people who need you're help. People who are unhappy with the empty promises, and looking for a better way. Lets get to know each other, work together, and offer these people the help they so desperately need. ...But I found a way to make the best of Yuwie, and I'll show you how too... If you managed to avoid Yuwie, or always thought it would not live up to the hype, then Congratulations. You managed to avoid the effort, but may have missed the lesson. The same lesson I hope Im showing you now, and the same one that so many Yuwie members still need to learn ...And so, after all that negativity, it does provide a platform where we can teach people to do it right. Because of that, I would say that joining Yuwie can be used to your advantage, as long as you know that it will likely never be a significant or direct source of income. Join, and spread the message of where it went wrong, and how we all can correct it. Help your teammates, your friends... don't just abandon your team like so many others do, but rather help them grow (which will help you grow) If you understand the difference between "social" networking, and yuwie, then you can use those very lessons to make money. Not only for yourself, but for your entire team. And better than that is you can actually have fun doing it. The original dream Yuwie wanted to fufill, can finally be accomplished (though it takes a different approach and a new generation of social networking. Can 6dgr be the start of that revolution? I Think So, but we need Your help. Once you sign-up for 6dgr, Message me. I want your success as much as my own, because they are one and the same. Let's work together to do it right, this time. So what's the bottom line??? Yuwie can be an interesting tool to develop your business, but must not be the heart of your business... Some people may disagree, and thats okay, but if you'd like to see my plan in action, drop by my site and join us @

I admin a very popular Facebook group, and due to it's popularity it gets spammed by ad-bots for money making scam sites daily, prompting simple deletion of posts and banning of the profile, and Yuwie was no different, in fact thats how I first heard of it, when people spammed the exact same posts about it. I never thought Myspace or Facebook did that around the internet, yes I know they are free but I've dealt with bots just spamming free stuff anyway. In a sense that shameless lugging of the place was an instant scam alert in my brain. because any decent site would not have to resort to that.
My point is; you are hardly going to make anything from to aside from at most a measly few dollars a month! You can't live on that and it's a pitiful supplement to your income: I doubt University students with the amount they pay out to study will find it much of a consolation and those who make tons will barely notice how much they pull in from Yuwie. You're hardly making friends at all, just adding people you will never talk to you just to gain an extra one or two cents to a meagre monthly income on there, only those at the top and have been there for years are really going to profit, showing it's a pyramid scheme. I would like to see how exactly they can sustain the site and still pay out money to everyone, because if these Yuwie fanatics are right in claiming each month 1000's more are joining it then the guys in charge must be paying out ******* tons! How much money do the creators earn?
There has to be a limit to this: you'd make more money from the dole and unemployment benefits then on Yuwie. The only reason you make so many friends is because your climbing over one another to grab at the small amounts of pennys around. No-one actually talks to you or gives a damm about you from the pages I viewed, I am not a member of it and I will never be, because I know I would be joining the legions of people who have deluded themselves into thinking they are making a profit and sharing that with 1000's of others. I stick to Facebook because I know the people on there are friends who i have tons in common with, who i share things with and who actually talk to me and take an interest in what i am up too.
I expect some Yuwie Fanboy will read this and instantly sign up to try and shoot me down, and if so why don't you go ******* yourself. I know you will just post the exact same arguments which have been said by the countless others above and will not bring anything new to the table, then you will link me to your page in a pathetic attempt to make me change my mind and in shallow advertising plug just in the hopes I can add 1 cent to your income and then won't talk to me again after saying "Nice page." or "Thanks for the add.".
Cliques have formed at Yuwie as a result of the competitive atmosphere generated by the site paying it's members. Some members are even calling for the site to STOP paying its members as a result of the greedy mindset taking over the site. Ego's are another problem....some members have utilized Ustream to create what is called Yuwie Radio. For the most part the shows are fun and creative. One show in particular, though, has become a way for one member to bully and harrass other members. Some members have accused this wannabe DJ of allowing racial jokes, gay bashing and sexual innuendos on his show. And when members question this in their blogs or on the notice board....they are harrassed, bullied and slandered by said DJ and his downline. This behavior in the early days of Yuwie would not have been allowed, but it is my opinion that the site's administrator has either given up....or is showing favoritism for members who have extensive downlines and hence lots of page views.
I am inactive, but remain loyal. Why? Yuwie was and is a place to meet many talented and friendly people. I remain in contact with friends there who stay despite these problems....hoping to change things. They are and will be lifelong friends due to their character and wisdom. Yuwie could be turned around...if it stopped paying it's members! It is this commentor's opinion that greed and avarice have ruined what was a fun, happy place.
Its purely based on the activities you do. you earn points for each activity which get converted to credits and there is a price for each credit and you get paid. there is no pyramid, its flat price for your credits.
well the website is new, but its really worth a hit since there is nothing to lose.

- OK - after reading this artical and the comments that were posted and as a member of one of the top rated social network sites on the internet, let me tell you why the artical is incorrect

Showing 3 of 3 pages (82 Comments)I came and joined Yuwie in October of 2007 after a friend of mine came to me and told me about the site. I joined with the same concern as everyone else who most likely does. WHAT IS THIS? DO THEY REALLY PAY? IS THIS A SCAM?
Well let me answer each one of these questions - WHAT IS YUWIE? Yuwie is one of the top social network sites on the internet that you can do all the same functions you can on Myspace, Facebook, My Yearbook and etc. The only difference is instead of being greedy like other social network sites, the owner came up with the idea of giving back to the members. He does this by paying the members a percentage of the rsr each month for their time spent on the site. DO THEY REALLY PAY? Yes you can really make money on Yuwie. I have made $297.63 on the site personally and joined for free just like everyone else can. That is a 100% profit. And this is all done by just going to the site and checking in with friends and leaving them a comment or sharing updated photos. IS THIS A SCAM? Well if you think of making money for having fun is a scam - then yes it is.
Yes - it is true, if you tell your friends about the site and have them join under you, you also get credit for their personal views as well and so on down the line. Honestly what is wrong with that? How many of your friends did you tell about Myspace and other sites and they joined it?
In regards to those who say that Myspace, Facebook and etc.., is better, that is awsome and have a great time on those sites, but keep this in mind - all those ads that are popping up on the other sites are making the creator rich each day and you do not benefit anything from it.
I also see a comment that people are talking about there are also Yuwie Comments and that is also a scam. Well, is there not Myspace Comments as well? Yes there is. Are those a scam as well? HHHMMMM - room for thought there. If you are looking for other comment codes besides Yuwie or Myspace then you can always get them at sites like CLUB FLASHBACK at www.clubflashback.com
Yuwie is to Myspace, Facebook and etc..., like everything else in life. It is competition for those other social network sites. These sites know this and this is why if you try to tell your friends about it on these other sites, they block and remove any comment that has the word Yuwie in it.
Yuwie is also the first Social Network Site to come along with a live radio broadcast chat room where you can hang with your friends and listen to a variety of music. No other social network site has ever thought of this. Yes I am one of the broadcast host and you can check my shows out every Saturday and Sunday starting at 7pm PST and Monday starting at 8pm PST at www.yuwie.com/yuwieradio
Finally, Yuwie is a great site and it is NOT a SCAM. You can make a lot of true friends on it, get paid for having a little fun on it, and cost you nothing to join. I have made many true friends on Yuwie including my wife and have met alot of my friends face to face including the owner.
