Review Summary
Users appreciate Gener8's concept of rewarding users for viewing ads and its initial ease of earning points. However, multiple reviews point out significant issues with redeeming rewards, including limited availability and glitches preventing purchases. The requirement to invite friends to unlock marketplace access, potential invasive tracking, and unresponsive customer support contribute to user frustration. While some find it useful and enjoy replacing ads with personalized content, recurring problems and suspicion about the extension's fairness have led many to distrust and abandon the service.
