Hi everyone.... There are 100s of discussions started here in a day and more than 90% get response There are 100s of photos uploaded here in a day and not more than 10% get comment. Why????????? Why you are not interested to post a comment to a photo who really deserves a comment? I know that some mylotters upload photo from net but some really apply their effort on uploading photos clicking from real world. So why we are neglecting their photos? I have seen that there are some certain members who put comments on photos but the number of them is very pathetic regarding the total mylot population. What do you think about it? Do you think that mylotters dont wish to place comment because they are not to be paid for commenting or what may be the reasons either? Share your views.

Hi amigo! Good to see you've posted your discussion now,a good sign,lol! I've placed my comment on your photo,were you the one who took it or you just got it from the net? It's a great shot,so calming! Honestly amigo,if I see personal pics from discussions of my friends,that's the time I do make a comment but if I see that the photo is just there for a view especially when it is out of my interest or just a normal photo,I usually don't put comments on it,hehe! Even if I know that I can be paid out of it,lol! When I feel like commenting,I go for it.

Luckily,that avatar of mine now was accepted,it's the only one accepted in my avatar,oh my! Oh,I remember a pic of Crystal that was successfully uploaded too in my posted discussion,at first I thought it will not be uploaded but it was accepted,yahu!

Very good observation shibham. I upload so many pictures and hardly receive any comments but let me admit I too am not in the habit of commenting on photos which I think I should now start. Good that you brought this to our attention.

I have not found a definitive answer about whether we earn for commenting on photos. I have assumed we do because "You type, you earn, I type, I earn". I do find where we learn that we get paid for putting pictures up, but I believe someone has to comment on them before they earn, not sure on that one. Here is one link that applies [i]If you’re looking to earn for your photos, there is still a HUGE opportunity to earn. You will be compensated for each photo added to a discussion or to an interest.[/i]

Thanks friend.... Actually i like photography and uploaded some photos here but a less than 5 members have commented and most photos are still without comment.... I think it will an another way to get closed with them if we admire their effort. Have a nice day.

Hi Shibham, I am worrying so many other things in mylot. Firstly many of my old friends are missing, for the same reason I am not getting responses to my topics I started recently. During my absence many new members joined here and I am yet to be friends with them. At present I am trying my best to reach a payout this time but due to my work load in office, I can’t concentrate much on the same. Regarding your issues, there are so many reasons behind the same. First of all when you upload a photo, it will show in the home page for sometimes. In fact it depends on the activities of your other friends (the information about your photo upload) and more friends do more activities then the home page will update the recent activity and your photo upload may not be noticed by all friends. I mean there may be chance to skip the information from your friend’s knowledge; else your friend should visit your profile (to know about the photo upload) which is not doing every day by your friends. (The home page is showing the activities of that particular person’s friends). I do drop comments to photos whenever I notice it and just don’t bother about the earning possibility of my comments. I would like to add, some members are posting their responses from the inbox where they hardly notice the activities in home page. I hope you may get a clear idea why you are not getting photo comments from your friends every time. I understand your disappointments and you please understand the reality too.

Hi sree...... Thanks for your wishes. yes, you are right. I am also feeling the same as most of my old friends are inactive now. I am finding the differences of three years old mylot and today.... friendly attitude is somewhere missing. We interacted with each other with most friendly but now its lessening. i feel but still there are some good and interested mylotters exist here for whom friendship means a lot. I know that hope page gets updated periodically and hard to find out a photo added by our friends unless visiting the profile. I know too that you drop comments and as to me too. Thanks again Thanks apk for your wishes too. have a nice day to both of u.

I am one of those who does not post comments on photographs. I am not aware whether we are paid for that or not. But my reason is I mylot from Office and am not able to search this site much. I just about manage to read the notifications in my inbox and post my replies whenever possible. I hardly look at the pictures here. But whenever I do get the chance which happens on some Saturdays then I do post appropriate comments on the pictures that I see.

Hi mayka.... yes, as far i know mylot does not pay for commenting on photo but we get paid for uploading. I know that you have some problems on commenting as you are using your office connection for net surfing. Anyway, hope you will appreciate those great photographer's effort around mylot. have a nice day.

I just think that a lot of people do not know that the section is there. The ones that do, often forget to go there I think unless photos are posted in discussions. I have to be honest here and admit that that is usually the only time that I visit photos here. When people have posted them directly into discussions. I rarely visit the photos tab.

You have a reason there rawbill. Most users dont wish to visit photos of others but i think we should as the sender hopes to receive some comments otherwise whats the meaning of that option? have a nice day.

Hi shibham, I guess I am in your 10% as I do comment on photos in discussions. Usually if the photo is related to the discussion, it is the first thing I do. Sometimes the photo is a big part of the discussion, so I have to go see so I can place my response in relation to the discussions. So while I am there I do try and make a comment. I am not sure why members do not make a comment, as far as I understood it is participation as well.

I always comment on photos from discussions. I seldom comment on profile pics, because we do not earn there, or at least we do not earn from putting them there. I like to upload my own photos to interests. However, since MyLot is more about discussions than pictures, I tend to focus more on the discussions than on the pictures. It is a discussion site.

Yes I try to always comment on discussion pictures as they are related to the discussion. I also know we do earn as it is part of the participation and calculated to the participation earnings. As you GG I concentrate on the discussions also and rarely will I go to profiles to seek out any photos. I have seen some on the homepage and if they catch my attention, I will comment to them there as well.

Some may not know how to place comments on photos. We do get paid for all participation, including commenting on photos. I started a discussion like this a few years ago. I reminded people that commenting on the photos their friends post help them and help their friends.

Well there were times I would like to comment on photos but I'm not allowed because I'm not friends with the member who posted the photo. That is one reason I don't comment that much on photos because it's take some effort just to comment on them. You have to request for the friendship of that member just so you could comment on the photo.

So, if that mylotter isn't your friend, you'll invite him to be your friend first so you can comment? What usually happens is, it takes a few days before the friendship invitation is accepted, so you'll have to search for the pic just so you can comment on it. It takes a lot of effort. Anyway if the mylotter is already a friend I do check out the images they post, and sometimes comment on them, if there is something to say. Have a nice day as well shibham.

I post comments on photos, but not like I probably should. I usually post the comments on the ones added in discussions. I guess I get so caught up in discussions that I don't look specifically for photos. I know there are some very talented photographers here. I am probably missing out on alot by not browsing photos. To tell the truth...it never really crossed my mind unless I was visiting a friend's profile...hmm..I might have to think of it more...great point.

Hi Shiby! I don't visit friends'profiles and check the photos one by one. I did comments to some of friends photos uploaded along with their discussions. Whenever you have new photos post it as discussions then I will see it and will give my comment to it. Or I think never mind it is okay since you already raise up the topic. I will check yours and others photos whenever I check their profiles. Is that okay??(^^)

Hi hanum... Its also impossible to check tons of picture from our friend's profiles. I know it but if we get informed about some nice pics, then there is no cause for not commenting. You have already commented on some of my pictures and i admit that. Have a nice day.

Most of the time I post my comments from discussions made by friends. So if they did not mention about any photo I will not know that they have posted one. If they uploaded their photos along with their discussions I will absolutely give my comments there. Have a nice day to you too.(^^)

I commented on photos all day one day. I didnt do any posts on any discussions just worked all day on commenting on peoples photos. I did not earn one cent. There for since it is a waste of my time to comment on photos and not earn money I dont bother. I am a member of so many differnet money earning sites that I dont have time to comment on photos if I wont earn from it.
