Review of Plutus.it


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I can't tell you how much discord has…

I can't tell you how much discord has been sown in me by this service. I *loved* the idea initially and really enjoyed using it for a while but for a few reasons I now actually hate them.

My first reason...I built up a decent PLU balance. But thought I'd take a couple of month's break from paying (this was when they had a free plan) so I cancelled my paid plan. Then thought oh I want to withdraw the PLU I've accrued.
"You can't withdraw PLU without being on a paid plan".
Ok so I paid into their service and I accumulated my rewards. But the day after I stopped paying my rewards become inaccessible. I find this a really punitive rule. They're *my* rewards!!
Asked support and I just got a robotic reply.

Second is... they've just closed my account recently. Fair enough I hadn't seen their emails reminding me of it (they did remind me). But the reason they're closing is because the free plan has gone (see my third reason here also). OK, so **again** I've just lost access to the PLU I've accumulated. I've just asked support if I will be able to access the tokens I had in the account now the account is closed. Not holding out hope.

My third reason is... exactly as above with removing the free plan, they overhaul the rules of their system with ridiculous frequency. It's unreal. They are constantly constantly rearranging the rules of the game. It's dizzying.

As above, I *loved* the idea of this and wanted it to succeed. Now I just feel like a sourpuss towards them. They destroy good will.

Maybe finally the thing to realise is: the game this company is playing is actually not winnable. They're offering rewards in a crypto currency which has no other value or use case. So it's only *use* is to get sold to realise rewards, meaning of course it's value will keep tanking

I think the guy running it seems enormously intelligent, but I think the whole service is trying to square a circle.
