Forced view ads/pages force the end-viewer to actually view what is being advertised and I AM ALL FOR THAT 'cos most pages are NOT being viewed and considered with critical thinking by viewers who are trying to get that tenth of a cent, penny, credit, a set of minimum page views for bonus credits, while viewing pages online. Most pages simply are being passed over when someone has paid hard earned money on advertising.
Fortunately for me, I am also making money surfing on multiple cell phones so viewing a forced advertisement on my computer and being made to slow down in my credit-generating surf activities gives me time to view ads on 1-5 phones or to re-set video line-ups on a phone or two. Fortunately, for paid ad buyers, rather than taking me away from pages online that are supposed to be viewed, this combined phone/net activity actually makes me re-watch a LOT of ads, bookmark a lot of pages to read later, etc.
Maybe my cell phone activities are also causing me to be more conscientious as a viewer. For a phone ad, the screen is too small for opening up multiple ads. Most cell phone ads are forced view ads. Overall, I am viewing WAY MORE forced view ads than I was before implementing cell phone earning programs into my routine. I have noticed that I may not join too many programs, but I am responding much more online to subscriptions, blogs for reading (tutorials, money making blogs) and such now that I have periods of time whereby I have to stop switching between browser tabs to view a forced ad.
Although I am testing 30+ cell phone programs on 6 cell devices, there are two fave programs that have emerged and that I have been paid by - multiple times.
Swagbucks and Perk. In 2015, since May, I've earned over $350 from the two programs combined. I can't show a full $300 in payment proofs because my strategy is to keep close to $100 in each account in case I need some emergency funds for marketing tools online. (* Note if I cash out now, I should have close to $500 earned and redeemed from these two programs). I have cashed out over $250 cash to Paypal with these programs and redeemed points in other ways - namely Amazon credits/cash value. I am also working up my Amazon cash power with use of the apps I use. Ah... but this post isn't supposed to be about my cell earning strategy - it's about how I am able to jump-start my phone views while looking at online Forced Ad Views!
While waiting for page timers to count down on necessary forced ads via computer, I make sure my PerkTV ads are running properly, clear cache in my phone apps area, or I'll switch phone apps to interact in the Perk community. I might run a game of Word Search (another Perk app), or do Perk Trivia with other Perk members. It varies on which app I decide to use but all activities help me earn or win more Perk points and tokens (points, redeemable for Paypal or store/gift cards, while tokens are only redeemable on the Perk site).
If my Swagbucks videos are finished on my cell phone, I'll switch Swagbucks apps to start videos on 1 of 6 apps in the Swagbucks group. I try to gain 100 pts per day as a minimum most of the time, which involves about 20 minutes on the Swagbucks site per day and the rest of the points earned via phone apps.
So I've told you what I'm doing while forced view ads are in progress on my home computer. Basically, while those ads count down, I'm bookmarking, subscribing, switching phone apps, and keeping very busy.
How do you deal with forced view ads?

My Cell Phone Broke So I Turned It Into a Money Maker
Have you ever had one of those days?
Where nothing goes right and then on top of it you drop your cell phone and crack the glass on it?
You know? Where it's all THAT bad but then you think about it and it's even worse because you just finished paying off the phone, you're not on contract with it anymore to have it replaced and you let your warranty expire? AND....... the cost for replacing the face/glass on your phone is way more than what your service provider is offering to get a new phone on contract?
So you go get a new phone from your provider and are now stuck with this piece of junk that you have to put tape on so you don't cut your fingers on if you slide 'em across the face of the phone..... now you can just toss your broken phone into the junk drawer.
That's what I did a while back...and my cracked-glass phone sat in the junk box for quite some time, pretty much forgotten.
UNTIL I got some tips from some teens who are using cell phones legitimately to make decent amounts of cash/rewards from their phones - mostly cheap, crappy, old and broken phones. Not non-functional phones, but phones that are broken in the way described above.
In early June 2015, I replaced a phone because it has given me 3+ years of service, is paid off, and started functioning like absolute YUK with what I need for it to do nowadays - which is more than I needed it to do when I first bought it. After service was taken away from this particular phone, I went to put it in my "gadget junk box" and realized I have a couple of devices that are past prime. They are still functional but they aren't up to par for what people now do via cell phone. All of this coincided with me also finding some cool forums about making Perk and Swagbucks money and earnings via phone apps, so I grabbed my cracked-glass phone, put tape on it so I don't cut my fingers on it, loaded this one and my recently retired Samsung up with apps and started letting 'em make me some credits/money.
There are a few r/l friends who I know are laughin' their arses off at me 'cos I explained what I am doing and to them, the number of apps I use and my explanation of how they work, along with with details of the earning programs just seems ludicrous, complicated for the amount of earnings.
Here's the rebuttal on that issue: the explanations are necessary but it's like learning computer stuff for the first time. At first computers are confusing and it seems like there's too much to learn and that the early steps aren't worth the effort. However, once the basics are set, things are easy, and computers save us a lot of time - once we've learned the basics and are no longer overwhelmed by explanations of functions, etc.
Same thing here. If I take out the explanations and simplify everything, it works out like this:
Broken phone but still functional/online-capable + load apps + run apps = credits.
Credits = convert to Paypal cash or to gift cards so my money stays in my pocket
That's it!
And I've turned my NEW Phone into a money-maker, too... with Shopping apps and by getting any apps onto my phone that are associated with stores I shop at/use. Sometimes money saved is the same as money earned, isn't it? If it all comes down to me having to spend less of my pocket money - so that I can bank that elsewhere, it's all beneficial to me. I didn't know, until I did a dedicated search, just how many store apps are available and how their rewards work.
In Canada SUPERSTORE/No Frills has an outstanding savings program, store card, cell phone apps.
There's a shopping app I use aside from the Superstore/No Frills app and card that is allowed to be used in conjunction with any Superstore/No Frills sales and offers, and this new app actually pays for you to buy certain items. When your balance reaches $20, this app/business sends you out $20! And that is aside from any deals you get from Superstore/No Frills offers. No Frills happens to be the nearest major grocery store near my house, so this is great for me!
I haven't done any major extra work here to earn money - I just made some major changes in how I go about doing daily things!
I took a broken but still functional phone out of a drawer, paired it with another out of service, still functional cell phone and run two different site app programs on them, and I check phone apps before doing my necessary shopping... ch-ching. Money!
