Where are the English-Speaking Countryballs?






If you have no idea what a "countryball" is, you're not alone in the English-Speaking world. Countryballs have gone viral on Facebook and other social media sites in places like Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Poland, and Venezuela, and are rapidly spreading, even to places like Africa. Despite their roaring success elsewhere, Countryballs are relatively unknown in the U.S., Great Britain, and Australia, my big question is:

Why?

MarketGlory Review (transplanted from old blog)

I've been playing this online game for about a week now, and as far as in-browser strategy games go, it's not all that bad. The game is designed as a political and market simulator that allows you to both deposit and withdraw real cash in Euros. Now, I'm not playing this as a get rich quick scheme, nor do I think it will actually make me any real money, but it's a good way to work out your brain in your off time, and the possibility of a real profit entices you back, even if you need to play for a thousand hours to make one measely Euro.

PTC Sites (Transplanted from my other blog)

Hate to break it to all you surfers out there who want to make a quick buck off the internet, but PTC sites are a big waste of time and energy, all of them. If you want to make money off the internet, you need to have an idea, a much better idea than this blog, and definitely a much better idea than sitting around in your underwear, glancing at PTC ads for 30 seconds and making $0.0001 for doing it. If any PTC site says you're going to make much more than that, don't even bother registering, if you snoop around, you'll find that many PTC sites actually say they're going to pay you more than what they charge for ad hosting, which is a bunch of BS. These sites don't pay, and if their TOS says anything at all about paying, it's generally something like "you must invest to recieve a payout" or "payout will be made in an undisclosed amount of time, equal or less than 1000 years from the payout request date". Nobody actually reads the TOS anyway, especially not those of us who've ever been stuck in that dark, dreary place called desperation, the one that takes you to PTC sites in the first place.
