Do you read the replies to your discussions?

United States

I have started a few discussions and I will read all of the responses to them mainly because when I have started a discussion, I am asking for help so I need to read them to hopefully get an answer but I have noticed that a few of the discussions I have responded to have ten or fifteen pages of responses and I think holy how would you find the time to read all of those pages? So I was just wondering when you do start a discussion do you take the time to read the responses or do you just start them to better your earnings?

well,of course~ I read every responses in my discussion and give them rate+. Cause I'm here for communication with different people ,we can touch different cultures from responses and find many useful opinions and share different experiences~ that's the main reason I'm here~earning money is not the only way for a person to live~

Yes, of course I read, and I read all of them, every single word. Since I started a discussion, it is either I was asking for opinions, or curious about certain things, definitely I would need to read the responses to get the answer, or to get the point of views from everyone who responded. And most of all, respecting those who responded. They took their time to pen in on my discussion, it would not be good by not reading them. I am always eager to read what has been written within my discussions. Of course, earnings is a bonus.

I just start two new discussions, and I will read every responses, though I only got a few responses, I read them, and then response them, I think the fun here is not only earn money, but also we can share our idea here, and read each others idea, then we can find a lot of fun here.

I always read all my discussions and reply to them. It is the best way to learn from your question you posted.

Yes I do read all my comments and I respond to all of them, even if some of the comments are repetitive and I find them hard to respond to, I still try to find a way to respond no matter what. I don't really go on mylot for earning, I think that is an extra, and my discussions aren't only comprised of questions and hearing others opinions, I sometimes write really long informative posts to get the mylot members to either look at something at a different point of view, or try to teach them something, or just motivate them.

I don't start discussions just to earn money. I start them because either I need some hep or I want to know peoples opinion on something. So if I do not go through the replies then my objective for starting a discussion is not fulfilled. Again if you talk about earnings then you can also earn when you read the replies and then comment on others replies. So there is no point in not reading the replies of a discussions. I think here in mylot we are paid for doing everything related to discussion and reading a reply and therefor commenting to it is also a pert of the discussion.

yes i did if i can still have the time to do that and if the replies are not too many... if i already received too many replies, then i won't be able to read them all and i just read the first few or as many as i can... i seldom start a discussion here... so most of the time i will be able to read all the responses that people give me... take care and have a nice day...

I read them all and reply to them too....I think it's important to make sure your responses know you actually read what they wrote....they took the time to do it so you should take the time to answer them.....

yes, yes, yes. These days I am not starting any discussions but if I will start one you will be assured that you reply will be read by me. I love reading people over my discussion and 999 times out of 1000, I will be adding comments to it too! I am not that lucky to get 10-15 pages of response but my best effort is up till 8th pages and I added comments to almost each and every one of them!

In the earlier days of mylot, I will not do this and after some days I started reading all the responses. But even then, I used not comment to all the responses except selected few. But now, I am reading entirely all the responses and am commenting to all of the responses without fail at least in two lines. It seems the earnings also increases for commenting to the responses.

The most amount of responses I've had at one time is right over 30 posts so its still in the range of being able to answer all of them if I wanted to - but with all the discussions I've started i have read all the responses even if i don't reply to all of them. like you said you should make discussions because you are trying to get out of it, not just because you want to make a quick earning and never look back on it. plus replying to discussions and reading them not only opens your mind to a whole world - but it can start mini discussions which will gain you even more money than you would just having everyone reply once.

I always read all responses to everyhting I reply to or any topic I find of interest because I find mylot interesting I like to learn and I am enjoying the discussions started that I have gone into so far and have started a few myself. I enjoy helping people and also getting help back I also enjoy all the different points of you that everyone has on all the different topics in all areas of life. So I end up reading all responses and when someone starts a topic they should read there responses back because if they honestly dont then I would say then they may just want better earnings, if they do then its a great thing because its more points of view, possible help and possible friends and thats always great to have in life.

I do read them, but, I have a terribly slow dial up connection and it takes an awful long time to respond to every one - sometimes more than a minute to open the page... then you have to submit and wait again to return to the page to reply to the next. So, while I would love to respond to them all it is not always feasible especially if I have not got anything of use to say in response.

I find time to read the responses to my discussions because I also want to say something to what they say. If the response is quite similar or related to the previous responses I've read, I just rate them and put no additional comment to it.

I only started one discussion, and I had only one response, and yes I replied to it lol. At least I got a response. I was wondering if I was going to or not, but ou know it is ok, as I am just glad to be here and I am enjoying myself immenesly. Making freinds and getting paid all at the same time, is just graat. You can't beat that at all.

i don't reply to all the responses on my discussions but i read all the responses on my discussions. because i want to see other people's thoughts and suggestions and maybe i can find the best advice. we can't really tell. so better read them all. but as i have said, i usually don't add a comment on the responses on my discussions. happy earning!
