gather is a waste of time

Gather used to be better. They just recently changed how you earn with them. It USED to be that you earned by being active (like on here). If you commented, rated, talked, posted...you would earn. NOW they've changed it so that people have to comment and rate your stuff for you to earn. Which SUCKS.

well the main thing that bothers me about gather is how you earn is confusing I think all i have is 25 points or something like that and its not like i never did anything on there. I have put comments on there quite a few times and my points barely move whether it is a short comment or a long one so i have no idea what they want there. So with the frustration of not knowing how you get the points to add up it makes me like you not want to be on there much as with this site here you can see how much you have and how it goes up each day and i much prefer it be money instead of points it is just so much less confusing that way. At least when you are on here the discussions are usually a lot more meaningful and not as silly as on there as you mentioned one time there was one about how many words can you make with a certain set of letters. At least here you can see your earnings add up and you know how much time you have put into it and what you think you should get out of it and on there it just doesn't make sense of how you get paid and for what and even though they have decent prizes. I just don't know how to get the points built up or what i am supposed to do to get the points to add up so i can get one of the decent prizes and with the points i just do know where I am on there or what I am doing wrong when I am not earning many.

I too found that you don't get too far with Gather..I think especially now that the gloss of being new has passed.. I am glad that mylot still pays and much better then Gather.

I read some bad stuffs about this site before.. but then again, I didn't really join because it's not a paying site for international members. But I don't mind trying, until I read some bad reviews about it. But there are also those whom enjoy this site much, but I wonder if they are still involved..

hi snoopyfan, first let me know what is gather and you have written closing your gather account,till now i have not hear this words in mylot ,i am in the mylot more than one year,and i have not understand your full posting,let me know more about the thing,have a nice day

First, with the kinds of "discussions" that people have described on Gather, it makes a lot more sense why some people come here to myLot and think that they can get away with some of the things that they call discussions on this site. I guess they figure that if they can earn for that kind of thing on other sites, then they should be able to do the same thing here, which obviously does not work. Second, I know somebody that has been active on Gather for a while. She said that she used to be able to earn between $50 and $150 per month depending upon how active she was on there. Now, she said that it takes her two months to make $50, which is obviously a significant drop in earnings for her. I imagine that is still better than the average person on myLot makes in two months, but I am not sure that most people earned that much on Gather each month, either. Third, the thing that I like best about myLot is that I earn for what I do, so I do not have to rely on anyone else to earn money. From what I understand about Gather, however, you earn when other people read and rate your discussions, which means that I have to rely on other people for my earnings instead of being able to earn from what I do. Since I can only control how active I am and what I do, I definitely think that the way that myLot calculates earnings is much better.

I told you I liked mylot better! lol It does take a long time to earn points over there. I first joined in 2007 and didn't come back until early 2009. I joined to give a mylot member a referral. There is a Gather member that is on my friend list over there, and she was active in mylot two years before she joined Mylot (I did not know this until late in my "Gathersom"). Now she only does Gather, and says she much prefers it to mylot. She says she has earned twice as much there as she did here. Which could be true. But every time I get a stupid discussion about naming all the C words you can....Good grief, how desperate are they for points? A lot of people also like that they can ask for referrals from other people. And they certainly can say more mean things over there than here. I mean a lot of people think they see dirty on mylot - who can Gather get worse! There are many wonderful, sweet people on Gather. But I'll choose mylot over gather any day of the week.

I am a member of Gather before I am a member of mylot. The reason I left Gather is because they don't pay international members. The discussions you are talking about are games (like How Many Restaurants Can You Name?) they created so you will comment on their discussions, which means more points for them. Some of the games there are great like one of them started a poetry contest with winners every week or month. It is also fun there but they don't pay me so I stayed here in mylot.

i really agree. gather really is a big waste of time. i shouldnt have even signed up for it. mylot is way better.

I have joined Gather as well and I believe that site is not a scam but it is really hard to earn point there. You have to work really hard for cents there but the prizes are great though...I agree that MyLot is a lot better than that in many ways.

yeah its true!

I am a new Myloter.My English is so poor and I want some help.So I search websites from the Internet and I found this.I can say I am a totally fresher here.I want someone to discuss anything in English,and if you don't mind.Please pick up some mistakes in my words and have more talks.Thanks

My lot is a perfect place for great discussions and debates. I have recently started there and I hope I will earn there really.

Actually some topic are really non-sense same thing happens in other paying social network like expertinn, paymesocial, frenszone, and kalutusan because of this some kind of stupid members who doesn't have a good idea on creating a quality questions or topic. They only want to earn but they didn't know that they are just ruining the sites. Admin and mods cannot clean all those nonsense topic they need help and feedbacks from their members but since no one doesn't care about it and every one is after with the earnings the site itself just turn in to nothing but a waste of time.

I do both sites. I use that site more to get links to coupons and free items. Their new way of doing the points has made mine stay low, but I just do posts that go to the groups that I like. I like mylot for the conversations.

@snoopyfan.. may it should have been the other way around.. when you were on gather and if you had come to mylot.. you'd have found.. mylot to be the best.. but from the best site you cannot go to a lower a grade site.. i can understand it.. happy mylotting.. i barely can imagine a site as good as mylot..

i only did one discussion and the person responded well a long paragraph and funny story about Trent lot grabbing her butt during an event she catered lol. But, yeah, i got easily disillusioned over there. I prefer mylot a lot more.

I subscribed to the site but like i just don't like it there. Mylot is something else. I tried posting to a few discussions there and i get responded to but i really can't get myself to go back to the site and do more. On the other hand, its different from mylot. I want to go visit other sites but nothing compares. Mylot has become a habit i guess.

I was waiting for feedback regarding gather and now I just had it. I'm definitely not joining that site.. Mylot is the perfect place for us. I'm okay with the guidelines and not having to worry about anything....

i've been inviting lotsa people to mylot and so far the response has been great! thank you mylot!
