I spend a ridiculous amount of time online, the joys of being a blogger mean I’m probably online more than most people. However, I’m not alone with my online lurking these days. Since the lockdown, everyone is online a lot more so why not make the most of it with your online data with Gener8.

What is Gener8?
Gener8 is an extension that can be added to your browser and allows you to generate coins to spend on the Gener8 marketplace. Every time you go online, your computer stores cookies, and your information is used to target ads at you. This is just how the internet works. Here is a statement from their website-
We give power back to you. Gener8 has been made by the people for the people. Our aim is to ensure you are rewarded anytime your data is used online. In a world full of murky waters and blurred lines Gener8 is shining a light on how advertising works and how people’s data is used. We are offering people an alternative so that they can have more control over their advertising experience and share in the wealth that’s created from their data. We’re not perfect but we are taking the first step in the right direction.
Does it work?
I’ve had the extension on my Chromebook for a week or two, so I’ve had a while to get used to it. Here is the thing, I was supposed to do this review last week, but I completely forgot about it! Is this is a good thing or a bad thing? For me, it’s a bad thing because I like to stay on top of things, and I certainly don’t want to get in anyone’s bad books. However, for you, this is a good thing. Why? Because, despite having yet another browser extension added on to my poor Chromebook, it did not interfere with my online experience at all. The ads from Gener8 weren’t glitchy, didn’t ruin my experience on other web pages, and didn’t annoy me in any way. The entire experience fitted in with my online presence so well that I forgot that I had offered to do the review.
I’m not gonna lie, I run ads on this site and I get paid peanuts for it. When I checked my own profile (after starting at zero and forgetting about it) I was shocked to see how many coins I had collected already. I was expecting around 10 or 20 coins to spend on the marketplace, not nearly 150!
What can you get?
Alrighty, let us get down to brass tacks. You wanna know what you can get from the Marketplace. That is a completely reasonable question. First off, you can get money off things like vitamins, beer and wine, gaming gear, and coffee. I decided to spend some of my coins on a money off voucher for coffee (of course). You can also redeem your coins for Amazon vouchers and Game vouchers. There are other vouchers available but those are my top two. But, and by far my favourite, are the Gener8 merchandise. I know, what am I like!? But I love the little Gener8 pug and I’m really disappointed that they are sold out of pug air fresheners and Gener8 t-shirts. I did get some stickers though, I just need to complete my Gener8 collection when they become available again. But, if you want more, you can even get free products with your coins, including wireless earbuds and a Google Home Mini.
All in all, this is an incredibly easy system to use where you can get freebies by collecting coins just for being online. What is not to love? Wanna make some coins for yourself or find out more? Sign up using my refer a friend link.
I’ve never heard of Gener8 before but it sounds like a great way to earn a little kickback for something that we’re already doing. After all, everyone wants to treat themselves a little from time to time, right? It’s even better when it’s something that you don’t have to worry about working into the budget!
