mylot to stop paying...

January 17, 2009 8:38am CST
Ok now I got your attention! I wonder how many people will only read that bit and panic?! I was just wondering IF mylot was to stop paying would you still post and respond on here? When I first started I think I would have stopped coming here as I was only in it for the money. But now I would still come as often and read and post as I enjoy it so much. What are your main motivations for being here on mylot and would you still be here if the site didn't payout?

I would definitely stop if myLot didn't pay anymore. Not because I'd be here only for the money but because I don't want to use a site that has scammed thousands of people...

Why would it be scamming people? Mylot has always paid out regularly. IF it were to announce it would no longer be able to pay it's members there would be no scamming involved.

That's usually considered as a scam... But I don't know what I'd do if they did like that.

You need to be careful posting links to your own website like that. I believe it against the rules. Also, there are some unscrupulous people who might spam you. Good luck and welcome to mylot.

I'd still be here if MyLot would stop paying, but I'd be sad...

I think I would be a little sad perhaps... but not that much!

Yeah I probably would but not as much. Mind you I have not been coming on here as much anyway the last few months so money does not bother me at all, it has been ages since I last made payout, mind you I did make my payout total higher!! So yes, I would still come on here if they did not pay.

Me too. I would like to come here even though mylot stopped to pay. My purpose is to learn something especially somebody's good writing skill to a certain extent.

I come here mostly for the dialog with people from all over the world. My payment amount is set pretty high, so I haven't gotten paid yet. If the money disappeared, it really wouldn't affect me that much. I would think that if the payments stopped, we'd immediately stop seeing so many repeat discussions, which are started primarily to earn money. The people who really like the community would stay. With the world market what it is, I'm surprised that MyLot hasn't added a feature to redeem for merchandise. There have been so many company closures that products could be bought for pennies on the dollar. If they allowed redemption for half the face value, MyLot would be way ahead. Just a thought....

A good thought it is too! Hey Mylot you listening?? I do agree that alot of the rubbish and repeat posts would stop appearing. It drives me mad when I come on to reply to a few discussions and all I can find is one liners But hey ho... such is the world of Mylot! Thanks for taking the time to respond!

i will still come to mylot if they stop payment also but will not be much frequent that time,not only me many of them will withdraw coming to this site and some who just come online for time pass or doing social service would be coming but if payments are stop then there would be less trafic on this site.

I would still come here if Mylot stopped paying. I wouldn't come in as much but I still would. My motivation is to make money. I am not working so anything I can do to bring in a few dollars helps.

Yes, you did get my attention and yes, I did panic for a while there! To be really honest, the payment I get is a really big incentive for me to stay on Mylot. If Mylot really were to stop paying their members, I wouldn't be so bad to totally abandon Mylot; I'll definitely still stick around and contribute, but not as often as I would have done previously because like I mentioned before, the payment is a really big incentive for me. I doubt many people will contribute their time and effort here if they know they're not getting much in return for that. Still, I feel the friends and knowledge that I've gained from this site is more worth it than the money I've made from Mylot. It is up to our individual self to know which things are more valuable to us.......

I find that the money we are paid is so minimal it really isn't worth it. Ok yes it's a bonus and I'm doing something I love and getting a few pennies from it. But for money alone it really wouldn't be worth the time and effort

I most likely would, because I enjoy taking part in discussions and reading other people's responses. though I imagine that I might post less. However, I don't see myself stopping to come onto mylot simply because it'd stop paying.

Thank you for all your interesting responses!

I hope a piano falls on your head. Oh, don't act like you're offended. You deserved it for tricking me. Answer: I would stop posting on MyLot if it stopped paying but I do enjoy being on MyLot and having fun. I like asking stupid question and then reading the stupid answers. Fun!

Opinion does seem to be fairly evenly split! I am quite surprised as the money here isn't that great. I see this site in the same way as some of the forum sites. Just something fun and informative :)

Well I might still be here eventhough they stop paying their members. Coz the community here is great and you'll get tons of replies incase you need or ask some help from others. I guess stop payment is very narrow to happen. They could lessen, that's possible and the payout could be higher than $10..

I'd be surprised if they did stop paying as mylot has been going for at least a couple of years now.

hello mummyofthree, I must admit that visiting the site everyday is part of my daily routine already. So in case the site will stop paying, then I guess I still visit the site but my time will not be that long anymore. Just have a visit to make some post and be able to response as well. What's important is that I can still share some thoughts and ideas to anyone who is are still visiting the site.

I think I would still come to MyLot even if they stopped paying. I enjoy reading and responding to all the discussions. I probably wouldn't come as often, but I would definitely still be involved on MyLot.

Hey mummyofthree! I would have to still post there even if they did stop paying! As much as I do need the extra cash, I just love it here so much and love the people that have now become my friends and a very significant part of my life I don't think that I would just be able to suddenly stop posting just because mylot wasn't paying anymore! So that's how much this site means to me! It is so much more than just the money to me! It is about the people that I have met here that I look forward to seeing every day and spending time with!
