Is StealThePixel Legit?

StealThePixel is just another website claiming to give its users free money. Though, technically is true that they give you free money; this claim is far from a simple straight forward procedure. First of all, we need to understand that the free money is not the main thing about this website. This website is about selling cheap advertising space in a rather clever way. At their homepage there is a big 1000x500 ad banner, which actually is a composition of 5000 small 10x10 pixel blocks. Each of these is for sale and it's given for free to the first customer who wants it. A block that is already assigned to an advertiser can be "stolen" by another advertiser. How can it be stolen? It can be done by buying it from us for a price higher than the price payed by the previous purchaser (at least $0.01 higher). 

Hopefully, if you got some blocks and no one will ever steal them, your advertising will be displayed forever. You can decrease the probability of your blocks to be stolen by offering a high amount to get them. Basically, the website is just a pixel shop where every purchased item will be sold again for a higher price. Think of it as a never-ending banner auction.

Now that we know how this site works is easier to understand why it will be quite difficult to get free money from this website. This is simply because they are not in the business of giving money, they are in the business of getting money, and they do this by manipulating people into believing they can make a quick buck. Keep in mind, every time you use this website, you are giving them money, as anything you click will automatically make a pop-up appear. Thus, they use aggressive advertisement in order to generate revenue. 

Also, when you use the free money feature from this website is not as if you can cash-out the money right away. In fact they will give you exactly 0.00154211 USD every half hour, but the minimum you can cash-out is 0.50 USD. This means that it will actually take a considerable amount of time to get a very small amount of money, which, I quite frankly think is not worth it.

Lastly, the website allows you to bet you money in various ways. If you are feeling lucky then feel free to play; however, remember that the longer you hangout in this website the more revenue you are giving them. StealThePixel is not a good website for getting free money nor for advertisers. Though they do have a clever a idea, and they will give you the money once you reach the minimum amount; they do not really provide any real value for anybody. If anything, all they want is high traffic going to their websites in order to get high turnovers from the ad revenues. 

   

Mental Attitude Is Everything When It Comes To Achieving Your Dreams

Here at Sur0h we usually review different businesses and services. We try to expose scams and the dishonesty of many websites claiming to give you loads of money. However, sometimes we need to look introspectively, and review ourselves. This is because keeping a good mental attitude is what will help us achieve any goal we set our minds to.

Before we explore the benefits of a good state of mind, I want to first tell you about the difficulties of life. When you set your eyes on a goal, and start working towards achieving that goal, you will encounter many obstacles. And I mean, MANY obstacles. This is OK though, because with the right mental attitude you can overcome any problem. However, there is a catch to this, you cannot give up. That is why, once again, you need to have a positive state of mind. I know this is easy to say and much harder to do, especially after one has struggle so much; however, in those moments of weakness, one has to realize that the only way forward is by relentlessly pushing towards your goal. I want you to think of the story of Arnold Schwarzenegger, whom believe or not, was ridicule at the time when he began acting, and nobody ever thought he could become a famous actor. In his arduous labor Arnie was able to become a massive success, and ended becoming even a governor. Now let me ask you, would you have given up if you were in Arnie's position? Would you have quit after so many people said no, insulted you, and treated you like you were crazy? I know many would have, and that is the lesson to learn from this, do not quit, no matter what anybody says. If you have a clear goal in mind, keep fighting, eventually you will succeed.

Hence the importance a having a good mental attitude. Realizing that no matter what you do in life, you will always encounter an obstacle; however, when you have a positive state of mind obstacles become easy to overcome, and you will regard them as opportunities to better yourself. So, does this mean that we have to constantly monitor our thoughts, and reject any negativity the mind throws at us? The answer is yes, and I know it seems like a very daunting task; however, just like anything else in life, with practice comes perfection. Once you start creating the habit of monitoring your thoughts, it will become much more easy to have a positive mental attitude. Usually, this is a process that takes at least three months, though is normal if takes longer.

That is why it is important to practice some sort of meditation or at least try some breathing exercises. This is in order to ground you and balance you from within. That way we can start controlling our thoughts, and you will see how this change will affect how you act towards life. Remember that most people react to life, instead of acting. Everything they do is a reaction to something. This is because they are not grounded, and have not found their balance. Once your grounded is much easier to monitor any negative thought you get, and you will easily dismiss them, as you keep on going forward towards your goal (acting in life). Whereas those who do not have the right mental attitude, will keep on wandering through life thinking why everything goes wrong, as they always seem to be the victim of something (reacting to life).

The Rise Of Professional Victimhood

Over the past several years we have seen a resurrection of an old form of fraud. I am talking, of course, about professional victims. These people are known for their deceptive behavior, in order to manipulate and cheat others out of their money. Professional victims can act in very convincing ways and can create very compelling narratives; thus, tricking people into supporting them. In this article we shall be exploring some of the most notorious cases in recent history; and provide you with examples so that you can identify these con-artists.

The first example we are going to look at is the case of Elizabeth Edmunds. It all began last year

when Elizabeth's partner posted some really distressing news on Facebook, about her having aggressive ovarian cancer, and that she only had 3 more years to live. She even went so far as to falsified a certificate from a Sydney doctor stating she had ovarian cancer and established a Go Fund Me fund-raising page in August that raised A$2500. She posted regular updates to thousands of followers on the "Help For Elle" Facebook page, many of whom donated generously. She spoke of her constant pain, her beneficial experiments with cannabis oil and her eerie dreams about her own funeral. She even went so far as to shaved her head to convince people she was ill. In the end, she blamed her boyfriend for her behavior, as she was making her declarations in court. Now this may or may not  be true; however, we can never tell since Edmunds had already lied about a disease. This story is quite tragic, and it just shows the lengths people go in order to get a quick buck. 

The second example is a bit less clear; however, once you dig in deeper, it becomes clear this is just another fraud. I am talking, about Anita Sarkeesian. This person has been able to trick so many people, it is really unbelievable. Even Times magazine put her in the top 100 most influential people. This is no surprise since Time magazine also named Hitler man of the year in 1938; however, we are not here to point out the stupidity of Time magazine, we are here to discuss Anita Sarkeesian. It all began in May 2012, when this scammer announced she would make a kickstarter about her series "Tropes vs. Women in Video Games". The initial goal was $6,000, for the production of 12 videos of 10-20 minutes in length. Impressively, Anita ended up getting $158,922,so by now you would think the videos are done, incredibly she still has not finished the project! With that kind of budget the price tag per video comes at a whopping $13,243 per video, so where does all that money have gone to? Moreover, this isn't the worst part of the story, Anita Sarkeesian has plagiarized video content and she has a promoted a false portrayal of feminism. In other words, she is using feminism to get money, not because she cares the movement. This of course can be seen in her superficial pop culture critiques, which exposes her as the manipulative con-artists she is.

For my last example I have the worst story possible, and shows what scums these people are. Though, this story is not really about a professional victim, it does show how scammers use people's tragedies to gain benefits for themselves. This is the story of Fallon Mouton who scammed dozens of people into helping Moses Perez. Moses Perez is just an unfortunate man who lost his wife last year due to pregnancy complications and is now struggling to raise his family and pay all his bills, including medical bills from his defunct wife. As a single dad, Moses says he struggles to provide for his family; and is now facing Jessica’s medical bills and funeral costs. Jessica’s grave was marked only by a small plaque, no gravestone. Then, the kindness of a stranger was almost too good to be true. Some one set up a GoFundMe.com account collecting donations for the family. It raised nearly $4,600. The account was set up by Fallon Mouton, someone the family had never met. Within days, Mouton disappeared and so did the $4,600 dollars from donors. Fortunately, Fallon Mouton must now pay back thousands in donations as she is accused of theft and online impersonation charges.

The internet is allowing these people to operate and it up to us, the users, to recognize these scammers and avoid them in any way possible. That way, we will be able to discourage potential new con-artists from entering the market. Though I know is impossible to get rid of them entirely, let us at least make it extremely hard for them to realize their endeavors.
