Are you familiar with this term?
Before I started in on the forums, the closest thing that I ever guessed that it could mean was being hit with a soft plastic dart or baton.

In modern parlance, getting nerfed is used to refer to a program or profitable opportunity or offering becoming crippled by design, in order to prevent potential harm for users or reduce liability on the part of manufacturers or service providers.
Over the past couple of days, I've come to the realization that I'm getting nerfed on Swagbucks, as the mobile apps are freezing up multiple times in a given 10 minute period as opposed to running without interruption for hours at a time.
It's to the point where I'm not guaranteed to earn a full nickel before the app conks out, as compared to the summer of 2014 when I could easily earn 2 dollars without tapping on the screen or resetting the programs more than 3 times in a day.
Still, it's a free dollar every day. I'll jump through a few hoops for a dollar a day. Not many, but then again, I'm only moving one hand.
