I can't speak for others as I'm probably an outlier, but anything that requires a login causes me to seriously consider my need to use the site: yet another password, security, etc. I understand that a login would be required for your site's purpose, but there it is.
"Earntroughclicks" sounds like another "get rich scheme" a world is saturated with. People are aware that they wont get rich, and mostly wont see a penny. Just from that name alone I am already repulsed, sorry, nothing personal.
"Get paid to view content" has traditionally been a scam business model. It only attracts a very specific type of user. And by now that type of user has learned the truth that you don't really end up earning anything worth it while you may have to click through some risky -if not outright illegal- links.
2. It looks like a scam
The site itself looks like something a scammer would put together quickly. That out-of-the-box no-effort blue-purple gradient. That generic padlock image. The fluffy, generic text which repeats the typical sentences you'd find in a scam site. The lack of care.
3. It feels like a scam
"Earn real money" and then "We have 3 users and $4.85". Doesn't give much confidence.
Then you go see the links and they are your own various profiles on social media and then a bunch of completely generic links. And that feels, if not like a scam, like the sort of thing a "SEO content writer" would come up with to earn some attention.
I need to read 3 articles a second to earn the same amount as I do in my day job. Even someone on a low wage would need to read an article every 3 seconds to compete with their drive thru job.
This sort of model is not sustainable anyway. Advertisers paying uninterested people to read stuff that is irrelevant to them.
If you want to pay me $100/h for my Python script to click those links... I might be interested :)
