Would you spend that much hour online if there is no money incentives?

So, if there is no paid - to - earn websites existed, like 4 or 5 years ago, would you still spend that much hours online surfing the web, or posting, or doing some daily research to finish an assignment? I won't, honestly speaking. I might only use the web to surf, or chat with my friends for an hour max. I probably watch DVD or reading some books more than surfing the web. Since I discovered the money incentive websites, I gradually spend more time and attention on the those websites. What about you?

im not or ever have been in it for the money it's just a release form boredom when it arises, plus there's always something new to learn or a subject i never thought about, and there's some real crazy people here and i like that, where do they come up with some of these questions, there's always a good laugh hidden in some of them.

You are the one come up with some answer I never expected. And I respect your answer here too. Yeah, money might not be a biggie to some people, and getting online earning just sort of daily entertainment for them. I hope they have a good laugh everyday though.

I would not stay long in the net if their would be no money incentives. Or I wouln not have the connection of an internet in my home since this is an added bill on my monthyly bills. Good thing that we are earning here, this could really help me a lot in paying some of my bills including the internet connection bill. I hope I could earn more to cover all my othet bills.Hehehe

I would surelly spend that much online but i would do other things like: chat, hear music, watch videos or movies, play online games. There are a lot fun things to do here and since im young still i think its normal to be that much online for me. However i think to go out with friend or do sport as much as i can to stay away from it, i don't want to be addicted. Have a nice day!

Yes! Now that I know about the incentives I actually spend LESS time online LOL - mainly because usually it feels like work. I've stayed online for 4-5 hours at a time before I even KNEW about earning online - just watching movies on Netflix instant and chatting with friends over Facebook. It's easy to waste MANY hours online, even when NO money is involved, that's for sure!

I used to use the Internet to play games and I also met my husband on gameshownetwork.com back in 2004. I was attending college as well and would use the Internet for school. I was not paid for either of these things.
I am still looking for ways to make a few extra bucks so I can buy Christmas gifts for the family.

Well I am not into online earning though I would have liked to. I am into full time job mainly coz India still does not offer lucrative propositions for online earning. Most sites are based abroad and the payment in dollars is not very easy to convert and bring home to my bank. Other than that, there are plenty of scam sites that I wouldn’t care for. So, mylot is the only place where I am online throughout the day but without much output. I mainly come online in between my office work and its more for the pleasure of interacting with people than the money involved. Though I must admit that the money is a good incentive too.

Well, I guess there is always an incentive - maybe not monetary but incentive nonetheless. I use to spend hours online just browsing and reading stuff and I enjoy it. That's my incentive. It'll be stupid to browse online if you don't get any satisfaction from it.

I would not spend as much time on the internet. I would rather read a magazine or watch TV, i would use the internet for research, mailing or chating with friends. The admin of these site know the only way to get people to work for them is to offer an incentive and which other incentive is better than money

i dont think i will spend thi much time that am spending right nw on the internet if there were no money incentives... in fact its the money incentioves that attracts a lot of people to spend a lot of hours on the internet..thugh the incentives are very small amounts but it feels real good to get paid for what we other wise do for nothing..

I'd probably be spending my time surfing the net for only an hour if there are no money incentive websites. I'm actually new to paid-to-earn websites & I have not received any cashout yet. I just tried some of those websites early this month. And my online time was doubled (if not tripled) in a day! For the past 2 weeks, I've been sleeping late at night just to search for more income opportunities online. So I guess "money" is a motivating factor why a person spends too much time online. I came across Mylot for the same reason as well. :) But now that I'm enjoying Mylot, the earnings are not that important to me anymore.

In fact the very beginning that attracted me to join this site should be a reward for its policy,but as time goes on this site may be my kind of lifestyle.

When I was in high school, I spend 2-3 hours. I just want to surf and surf , discovered things, downloading, there are many cool stuffs online to do. It's just like traveling online BUT I also spend many hours OFFLINE. I usually read books, travel, watching and listening music. I also want to take some pictures I really love the art of photography.. And it's just doing the things i like. So, I can say.. I am spending my life ONLINE and OFFLINE.. =)

I would still be online, as I would find other things to do, like paly games, and still surf and such. I am glad there are incentive sites online though, as it gives me something to strive for. Before I found this site and the other sites, I would spend hours trying to find something to do to make money. I would always come up enptyhaned too. It was so disappointing to spend hours searching, and never find a thing. Once I found mylot, I fourn out there were ohter sites out there to make money too, albeit not a lot. I am just glad I found mlot as I have been erning here, and making money from the ohter sites as well. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I guess yes, I love internet and had never received online payments until now, so I just surf for fun
