first surveys now arcade doesn't work

everyone knows the surveys are awful. The surveys are always way longer than they say they are and that i you don't get "screened out" more than halfway through for 0 reward or 1 AB if your lucky. "fine, no surveys they suck anyways ill just focus on the arcade" i tell myself. Problem is, over the last month 4 different games: Idle weapon shop, screw tap jam, invincible: guarding the globe, and viking rise, all claim that "we can't reward you for this app" in spite of it being my first time downloading. When i reached out to support i was met with the equivalent of the south park cable company guys telling me "aw man we know it's frustrating but theirs nothing we can do sorry"

without surveys and without arcade how exactly am i supposed to complete the challenge ladder or learn consistent AB without just buying it? just buy subway 3 times a day?
