Do you think sometimes that posters here in mylot are not really sincere???

I'm just wandering since i'm just a newbie here.... Do you have that funny feeling when you read the posts here made by posters as sometimes being insincere and calculated only to solicit responses in order to score more cents or dollars???

I agree with fluffnflowers and I have often wondered the same thing that you are asking. It does seem that there are alot of people here that will post anything to get the credits. The sad thing is, is that they get them. When I joined Mylot I thought that it was going to be a place where you could actually make friends and have running discussions with them on occasion. I havent seen where that is the case as of yet. I do plan to stick it out a little longer though so maybe I will be proved wrong :-) BTW I like your SN, are you military? Have a great day ! ! !

I have to agree with you jdoss...It does seem that they really get to have the credit. I also hope that the same way I made friends in my other forum site, I will likewise make good friends here. I think I'll do the same and observe for a little while how things will turn out. Thanks for the compliment! Nope I'm not in the military...I like to consider myself as somewhat like a struggling freedom fighter seeking to achieve financial freedom. I hope someday I'll be able to succeed! Have a wonderful day too!!!

Hi there! Yes I do notice that. Especially with those one liner posts. I don't usually respond to them but sometimes if I can't find anything interesting to respond to I do respond to them cause' there are also interesting ones. I don't also think that those kinds of posts are bad. Maybe just maybe, the poster isn't just good in expressing oneself so they opt to make a question and answer post. Ciao!

Yup! perhaps maybe other posters are not just good in expressing themselves. I probably need to soak myself for a while. Anyway thank you for dropping by at my thread. I also would like to earn a lot of moolah but I hope I get to find a more valueable person in this forum as well! Cheers!

A few months ago this was a big issue on mylot. There were outrageous discussions being written that had people feeling bad and none of it was true. There were discussions supposedly written by a female but the profile was that of a male and vice versa. I believe the majority of discussions are sincere but we do have to take them with a grain of salt because some people will write anything just for the earnings.

Of course. I've noticed that a lot of posters post things that are one liners asking open ended questions, I'm assuming because they require no thought and allow people to reply without much effort. And they post a LOT! I try not to reply to those because they're really not asking a question, but they're aiming for earning the most money, not that I completely blame them. I, personally, get very irritated when I get responses to my posts that have absolutely nothing to do with what I posted or seem like the person didn't read very much of my question.

yeah that's precisely what I noticed. Well, as for me I was thinking that it's really a wonderful thing to participate in discussion forums like this site. You are supposed to sharpen your saw and at the same time gives you a stream of income. But I hope the substance should not be compromise by the lure of earning a lot of moolah.
