[00:00] So, I downloaded an app called WiFi Mine&nbsp; after some of you have asked me about it.&nbsp;&nbsp; And within just a few minutes of signing up and&nbsp; watching a few video ads, I had apparently earned&nbsp;&nbsp; $23. Sounds great, right? Well, stick around&nbsp; because what happened next is exactly why&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:14] I decided to make this video. My name is&nbsp; Mikael and in this video I'm going to show&nbsp;&nbsp; you exactly how the WiFi Mine app works, how I&nbsp; supposedly earned more than $23 within minutes,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:26] and most importantly, what happened when I kept&nbsp; testing it further. Because on the surface,&nbsp;&nbsp; it looks like one of those apps where you can earn&nbsp; really quickly. But once you dig a little deeper,&nbsp;&nbsp; there are some things you definitely need to be&nbsp; aware of before spending any time on it. I'll&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:40] for yourself whether Wi-Fi Mind is actually worth&nbsp; your time or not. So, let's start by talking about&nbsp;&nbsp; who can join. And WiFi Mine is an app. It's only&nbsp; available for Android devices. So, just keep that&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:54] in mind. If you are on an iOS device and you want&nbsp; to earn, I'll leave a link in the top corner. I&nbsp;&nbsp; also have a video about the best options for that.&nbsp; But when it comes to countries, they don't have a&nbsp;&nbsp; list of the exact countries, but it does look like&nbsp; you can join from more or less all countries. But&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:07] before doing that, please watch this full video&nbsp; so you know what you can realistically expect. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; let me now log in and then we'll take a closer&nbsp; look. So, I am now logged into the Wi-Fi Mine&nbsp;&nbsp; app. And just to make you aware that as soon as&nbsp; you open it the first time, actually, even before&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:23] I was able to get to see what was inside, there&nbsp; were ads popping up. Personally, I really dislike&nbsp;&nbsp; that when an app or website is so aggressive&nbsp; that they just bombard you with ads before you&nbsp;&nbsp; even know what's going on there. So, that's just&nbsp; one thing that I want to make you aware that gave&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:36] me kind of a bad experience right away. But, I&nbsp; did get $10 into my account just for signing up&nbsp;&nbsp; and then I could double it just by watching an ad.&nbsp; So, that means that within a few seconds basically&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:48] I had earned $20. Then after that, I could check&nbsp; in and had to watch another ad. And this all was&nbsp;&nbsp; actually before I even was able to get an inside&nbsp; look. And before doing that, I supposedly earned&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:01] $23 right away that I could see in my account. And&nbsp; you can still see them up here. So, it seems like&nbsp;&nbsp; a really great start. But of course, I decided to&nbsp; test it further. If you watch my videos before,&nbsp;&nbsp; you know that I have tested hundreds of methods,&nbsp; so I know when to dig deeper. And in this case,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:17] there was just some things that didn't quite make&nbsp; sense. So, the first thing is the earning method&nbsp;&nbsp; itself, because it says here that you just have a&nbsp; Wi-Fi network and then you can claim. So, you can&nbsp;&nbsp; claim earnings basically just by clicking here.&nbsp; You can you can earn. But what are you actually&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:31] doing? Because it doesn't really make sense this&nbsp; whole thing. What are you doing with Wi-Fi? I'm&nbsp;&nbsp; basically just watching an ad now. Here the ad&nbsp; is over. I just have to go to Google Play. Then I&nbsp;&nbsp; can go back here and then have to wait a few more&nbsp; seconds and then I can close it down. And then you&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:46] can see then I earned 140 coins. So sometimes&nbsp; I earn coins, sometimes I earn dollars. I can&nbsp;&nbsp; then double it if I want to do that. I will then&nbsp; earn twice as much of course there or at least&nbsp;&nbsp; later. And these earning methods, they just don't&nbsp; make sense because you see here they have like&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:05] speed test reward, Wi-Fi security reward, Wi-Fi&nbsp; position reward, battery guardian reward. Like&nbsp;&nbsp; it's not really like any real test in my opinion&nbsp; anyway and experience here. It's just ways to get&nbsp;&nbsp; you to watch ads so they can make money. And they&nbsp; just instead of saying that you're just watching&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:21] ads and earning because then you would probably&nbsp; know that these high earnings are not realistic.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then they make it sound fancy with checking your&nbsp; Wi-Fi speed test, all these different things.&nbsp;&nbsp; But all you're doing is is basically just to watch&nbsp; ads. Like these earning methods don't make sense&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:36] because whenever you find an earning website, an&nbsp; app, you have to ask yourself why would they pay&nbsp;&nbsp; me for this? It's like watching ads. It's clear&nbsp; that like they have advertisers. They maybe paying times when it comes to earning by watching ads,&nbsp; but why would they pay you to do like a speed&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:54] test of your Wi-Fi, things like that. There are&nbsp; some unusual methods sometimes where you can earn,&nbsp;&nbsp; you with ads. So, it's very clear that their way&nbsp; of monetizing is by getting you to watch ads.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:06] That's how they earn. But also these earnings here&nbsp; that I earned, you can see here, more than $32 in&nbsp;&nbsp; just maybe 10 minutes or something like that. I&nbsp; just know that by watching ads, that's just not&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:18] realistic. But what I have also noticed and what&nbsp; I've also heard from a lot of other people that&nbsp;&nbsp; have tested is that you do earn this much here at&nbsp; first, but then it will go lower and lower and it&nbsp;&nbsp; will be harder and harder to earn. And that means&nbsp; it will suddenly when you get closer to the payout&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:33] threshold be extremely hard to earn anything.&nbsp; So you think that you're getting very close to&nbsp;&nbsp; payout threshold, but you just suddenly basically&nbsp; earn nothing. So it will become extremely hard to&nbsp;&nbsp; end up reaching it and thereby also become very&nbsp; difficult to get paid. But speaking of getting&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:50] paid, let's talk a little bit more about that. So&nbsp; I have now jumped to the payout section here. And&nbsp;&nbsp; here's a couple of other red flags because I can&nbsp; see that I've earned some coins that are worth&nbsp;&nbsp; around $6 and I have $32 there. But it doesn't&nbsp; say anything else. Like when a website or an app&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:07] doesn't show you exactly what the threshold is,&nbsp; what are the payout options, that's always a huge&nbsp;&nbsp; red flag. But when you scroll down, you can see&nbsp; that you actually can get paid supposedly when&nbsp;&nbsp; you've earned $50. So that's another red flag. An&nbsp; app I've tested hundreds and $50 payout threshold&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:26] is just extremely high. I've seen it a few times.&nbsp; A legit app or website offer that, but it's&nbsp;&nbsp; extremely rare. And you see I I just click there&nbsp; and it just says your balance is insufficient. Go&nbsp;&nbsp; ahead and do task here. But how can I get paid?&nbsp; Why are they not telling me that? That's just so&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:40] strange. And again, they just have ass plastered&nbsp; everywhere. So it's a terrible experience. You&nbsp;&nbsp; have no idea about the payout terms and all that.&nbsp; But it's very clear based on my test that the main&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:52] idea here for them is to just get you to watch&nbsp; ads and to then get you to give up before you&nbsp;&nbsp; will actually ever reach a payout threshold. And&nbsp; I'm not the only one saying this. Let's just jump&nbsp;&nbsp; and look at what a few other people are saying&nbsp; also. So I have just jumped to the reviews on&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:09] Google Play and I'm careful to ever believe&nbsp; reviews on pages like this or Trust Bible or&nbsp;&nbsp; whatever because they can be faked and they often&nbsp; are. And if you actually look here, it does look&nbsp;&nbsp; like they have really great ratings. They have 4.5&nbsp; and they have more than 8,000 reviews supposedly.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:24] But when you actually look at the reviews, then&nbsp; you can see there are a lot of one-star ones.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then there's a lot of fivestar ones, but they are&nbsp; very superficial and there are ton of them right&nbsp;&nbsp; after each other. And I just know also that it's&nbsp; not natural for an app that is not more known or&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:38] famous like this to get this many organic reviews.&nbsp; So there's something suspicious going on here.&nbsp;&nbsp; This many here. Cool. Love it. Awesome app. So&nbsp; far so good. Five star. Five stars. Five stars. It&nbsp;&nbsp; doesn't make sense. And then you have all these&nbsp; one style again saying once you approach the&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:52] minimum withdrawal, you don't earn anything. And&nbsp; then somebody a fivestar easy to you. See there's&nbsp;&nbsp; no details. very suspicious here. And again also&nbsp; someone here says it again superficial fivestar&nbsp;&nbsp; reviews bombarded everywhere. So that's why you&nbsp; cannot always trust the average rating here. You&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:07] need to look at it and see do the reviews actually&nbsp; make sense. And what you can see is if you just&nbsp;&nbsp; sort it by the star rating, the one star ratings,&nbsp; then you can see you will be wasting time. You're&nbsp;&nbsp; not able to withdraw. When you reach a minimum&nbsp; threshold or get closer, you won't earn anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:22] And you see somebody here is just five cents to&nbsp; get the $50 to cash out and just keeps earning&nbsp;&nbsp; nothing whenever he watches ads or do anything.&nbsp; So you can see a ton of people are saying this&nbsp;&nbsp; and based on my experiences after years of testing&nbsp; apps, it's very clear that this is not an app I&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:38] would recommend. It's very very unlikely you will&nbsp; be able to get paid. You will just spend a ton of&nbsp;&nbsp; time because I just know that it's not realistic&nbsp; for an app to pay this much here for watching ads.&nbsp;&nbsp; In general, you will not earn a lot by watching&nbsp; ads. There are legit platforms that will do that,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:52] but you will sometimes have to maybe watch&nbsp; a thousand ads to earn $1. But if you really&nbsp;&nbsp; insist on earning that way, because I do know some&nbsp; people really love that, then I will leave a link&nbsp;&nbsp; below to a list I have on my website of the best&nbsp; pay-to-click websites. Just don't expect to earn a&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:08] lot, but at least those ones I know that you will&nbsp; earn and that they definitely do pay and they're&nbsp;&nbsp; very transparent about what you can expect. And&nbsp; if you want to earn from your phone in general,&nbsp;&nbsp; I also do have a video, I'll leave it here on&nbsp; the screen next to me about the best ways to&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:21] earn by playing games. So you can watch that next&nbsp; if you want some inspiration about some other ways&nbsp;&nbsp; to potentially earn that in my opinion are way&nbsp; better. This one definitely one I would stay away&nbsp;&nbsp; below. And finally, if this video helped you,&nbsp; make sure to hit the like button and don't&nbsp;&nbsp;
