I was using a chrome extension called Surf and now they said they've shut down and that I have to download Datacy to continue but this isn't available for Canadians

I gave this datacy app a try and thought it was a scam but it is not. It is the real deal but why does it earn so slow and why are there not so many choices to make earnings easier.
