i rarely feel like that...There are some days where mylot gave me $1.04 and there are some days i got $0.02...
Sometimes they will pay me when i did nothing and they underpaid me when i did a lot...i dont know what their logic...
Have you ever experienced this?

I don't know.we'd better do not have the necesarry to know the counter of mylot, what we do is jsut give a lot of good responses on mylot .when the quality and the quantity of our responses is good and enough, mylot will pay our more money.this is enough,oh do net remembr to invite your friends to come here.

well, since we all didn't know about the exact calculation around here, so I supposed talking about in a forum really not a wise option :), maybe you should ask the support instead...?
If I'm not mistaken, maybe they pay you even if you've done nothing because there's someone reply to your discussion :), and maybe even if you reply to many discussion, but your reply doesnt count as a qualify one oe even the same as others they give you a only a small amount or even none, that's happened to me too, as a matter of fact I think it's happened to every body... quality is count around here :)

My experience is this:Quantity is more important than Quality!
Take care,

This is probably their way of not revealing their computations. If our efforts are directly proportional to our earnings then we would know how they do it. If you notice also there are times that on unholy hours our earnings fluctuates. If its the decrease rate we would somehow know its related to our post or reply being deleted. If it increases we really don't know what happen. We can only speculate.
When it comes to feeling underpaid, I think its just fine. They reward anyway those with very descriptive responses.

No one will ever figure out how it works here and that is how myLot likes it! I think that even if someone figured it out then it would be changed again. I think sometimes it is easy to be disheartened here over things like that so I tend not to think about it now. I come on and answer to as many or as little as I want then I go and do something else. This site is more for fun and friends than anything else.

No I don;t think so. I am enjoying the discussions here and I don't make response thinking how much would I earn from it. Maybe when I first joined mylot, I was thinking and calculating how much will I earn but now, I just realized there is much to mylot than earning. I have responded in a lot of discussions and I have been exposed to different culture through here. And most important is through responding to discussions I somewhat practiced using English. I know I am not good on using it and my grammar is worse, but here in mylot nobody cares and I knew from post to post I can see my mistakes in grammar and actually learn from it. I am confident to write here even though my grammar is worse. And my typing skills have improved! The first time I post a response here, almost all my word were typographically incorrect,but now it was like 3 or less in each response.
