most likely that most mylot members are here for the money and i see it myself as one way to earn is that to post as many as you can and to do that go for the so called easy one like may be the ones you mention. greetings. : )

Welcome to mylot. Initially i do post 1 lame topics coz i was new but the one annoyed me is the seniors. There's alot of ways to make money but to be so lame is just not me.. But for those who prefer that kind of topics then go ahead..

I'm new here so everything is a bit different to me but really this site is marketing itself as a site that "pays" for participation, I don't think that is their sole gimmick but you cant deny that it is probably the drawing factor when it comes to being a member here. Honestly, I'm sure the majority are not as concerned with solving the world's problems or even decent conversation as they are with solving their own lack of funds, unfortunately it is what it is, no doubt there are plenty on here who would like nice intelligent conversation but finding them in the midst of all the "is my hair nice" threads is going to be a bit tough. Take the good with the bad; I guess.

Yes. lame topics are easy to answers. and every one can answer questions like whats ur favorite color or fruit. and questioner need to be innovative to attract more n more people. Did you find ur serious discussions are not been responded any time? and how come u expect to get lotta responses for something which is not interest of people.

yes. some people dont see the question is already has been asked. and responders dont bother to response it again. or 1st time for him/her. doesn't matter if it's repeated. no one care. if they like they will response or it will 0 response questions. anyway who need a serious discussions online? very few people. with few people u cant run something profitable. u need lot of involvement and most of people like it easy. so u find lame questions repeated and responded.

Those types of discussions gets many responses because it doesn't require people to think...they just want to quick post, make their cent..and move on. Quality posts aren't important to most people on here, from what I've seen.

I came here to make money also but after awhile it getting bored seeing the same lame topics over and over again. Nice to see more creative ideas to attract more people to join.

i observed the same thing specially when mylot's population reach the 15 thousand mark which i also observed that there are at least five discussions being repeated everyday and looks like just a copy pasted discussion actually. greetings. : )

some people just dont bother to think and type their replies. sometimes its also due to topics that needs to much thinking. maybe the questions can be put in shorter words and elaborated in the details sections. So you can grab the main topic at one glance. now that the algorithm has changed, i can see there's a lot of difference my mylot community. that includes me. :)

They usually take less time to think up a response to, some people are here just for the quantity of posts and not really interested in anything thought provoking or of quality. I even answer some of them somedays when I'm not thinking to well

Most of the people who respond to those are either here only for the money or are too lazy that they dont want to have to think about there response. It is way too easy to respond with a yes or no answer. They seem to forget that you get paid more for quality responses that require 4 sentences or more. It is quite anoying.

Does anyone know if there is a earnings benefit to giving longer, better quality answers to discussions?

you can read in terms and conditions. I did some studies also and found from our seniors that yes if you give good topics and respond in details you will gain more. Mylot is not only to make money but a place to share ideas and opinions. A good one please.

I think you are right. Maybe the best discussion topic is where is the best site for discussion? Are they all full of garbage? Is this better or worse than most? Your experiences?
@fasha72 (284)
• Singapore
17 Nov 06
Not all garbage.. there's alot of good topics but due to poor respond u cant see them. The worst so far i've seen was do you speak english... what a stupid question.. you wont be in mylot if cant speak english.. rite??

I think we should all do our part and leave negative feedback and push the "!" button. Maybe this will cause all of those to leave???? I don't know what else to do

People would do anything to get on top or basically money hungry. Or they just don't really know the meaning of a DISCUSSION. I find this really annoying and abusing. I feel they shouldn't get any credits. There's rules and they should be follow in order to have something in return. When someone is voilating the rules and still get pay, then we have a problem here.
