A Vent About ChaCha

I've really loved working for ChaCha. It's been fun, and I've made quite a bit of money already. The thing that's been bugging me for a couple of days, though, is the fact that they've started limiting the number of questions a user can ask a month. ChaCha users can only ask 20 questions a month. For most teenage users (and there's alot of them!) 20 questions won't get them through two day!

I have no idea why they instituted this new rule. I cannot see how it's helping the company, since they have really managed to piss off quite a few people, and I'm assuming, not as many questions going out means their advertisers' ads aren't getting seen as much. I understand the need for "unique" customers from an advertiser's stand point, but shutting out customers does not a successful company make.

So anyway, business has been slow. Not as many questions to answer, and the ones I do get are mostly from irate users wanting to know why ChaCha is being so stupid. I've been called names, been cussed at, you name it. People are actually using ChaCha to find other services that are similar because they are so ticked off.

I'll still continue to do the ChaCha since the money I'm making is being used to buy Christmas for my kids. If this doesn't get cleared up soon though, I don't know how much time I'm going to waste after the holidays for only $.20 a question.
