Clix2Tube is a new "bux" site with a little twist to it. While you get paid for viewing your typical 4 ads, you can also earn by viewing YouTube videos and playing the "TubeGrid" (copied from ClixSense.)
Clix2Tube is a very new site that was once paying, however it appears it has stopped paying altogether. Which is why the site will be moved to the Scam List. See "cons" for more info. Here re the pros and cons of this site:
PROS:
1. Forum - This site does have a forum. Forums are great for communication between members and staff. Members can post payment proofs, get support, and stay up to date on changes made to the site. You can find their forum here:
http://click2tube.com/forum/
2. Paying - They are paying and payment proofs can be found on the
forum and throughout the web. Here are a few places where you can view
these proofs:

3. All Countries Accepted - So far there are no restrictions and all can join and earn from this site as long as Payza (formerly known as AlertPay) is available for your area. Will update if this changes.
4. Secondary Password & Pin- You have the option of creating a secondary password to protect your account. Which is highly recommended that you use this option.
After you join you will also be required to create a cashout pin. Make sure it is different too. Don't be a fool and use your bank account pin that you use for your personal bank account. Create a unique 4 digit pin and write it down somewhere if need be.
5. More Ways To Earn - Site offers members to earn not only by clicking regular ads, but by viewing youtube videos and playing the "TubeGrid" game. The grid game is a lot like what is on
ClixSense (which they copied from) and you can win cash if you click on a certain area of the grid. Standard members have 25 chances to win.
CONS:
1. Non Payments - Complaints on the forum and elsewhere are showing about long payment delays. From what we can see they site hasn't paid anyone since November 8th. It is now November 21st (at time of review update).
2. Abandonment - It appears so. Admin hasn't been active over 2 weeks as well. Which is another reason why they are now on our scam list.
3. A "Bux" Site - This type of ptc has a very high fail rate. Most "bux" sites go scam under 6 months, if not within a year. Most rely on upgrades and rental purchases rather than actual advertisers. A typical "bux" site will show fixed/self-sponsored ads, sell rentals, and have a higher rate per click. This type of business model is not very successful and unsustainable, which is probably why most "bux" sites fail.
4. Whois Private - Hidden ownership and owner is a "unknown". Judging from their google checkout account they are located in Florida, USA. Other than that, there isn't much info being shared about the current ownership of this site and their history.
5. Changes Without Notice - Admin decided to change the minimum cashout, however neglected to post the notice on the forum or tell anyone about the change. The terms does reflect the change, but it would have been better if the admin alerts people of such changes.
6. New Site - We do not recommend investing or
buying upgrades on new sites. For at least 6 months, if not a year. If
you can't wait that long, at least test and get paid first before you
decide to invest.
The main reason why we see this as a
downside is due to the large number of new sites that go through many
sudden changes during their first 6 months. Changes anywhere from rates
per click, payment processor issues (paypal limitations), and payment
wait times. New sites notorious for changing their terms. Why we do not
recommend investing on new sites.
