My lots guinea pigs

Is the money earned from commenting down to the fact they use the information gained for research. I just find it an interesting set up that they are giving us money for talking on every topic imaginable surely every discussion written here cannot be useful to them?

Ouch I don't believe any member, including me to be a guinea pig. As per the terms of service "myLot Discussions provides a venue for myLot members to start and respond to discussions in a forum type setting." They share small percentages of their revenue with us the members/users as well as utilize the discussions/responses/comments on other third party sites. No where do they utilize any of our information for any type of research. This is why the terms of service says "Please choose carefully the information you post and the information that you provide to other members on myLot.com." Also listed on the terms of service is "myLot will not disclose any personal information to a third party" Therefore I do not see where any research about us can be done.

Well, I think we are the guinea pig for sure, and we are trying to work out a little bit income by doing whatever they ask us to do. Simply just like those staffing agency. They are taking partial of the paycheck week by week, and they are earning those big income from large amount of people.
