Discussions Today are not the Same as Discussions Before

I think that there are many mis-informed users among the newer ones who seem to think that starting their own topics, without commenting on the responses, and/or just responding without commenting if their responses receives a comment, is enough in order to earn. Then there are those who can't be bothered to read through pages and pages of responses before posting their own. Isn't it a sign of the times? Everything immediately without any effort? Just that it doesn't create earnings if that is how they use myLot. They only get paid for quality and the more they particpate in ongoing topics, then the more they will see their earnings add up. Of course if they don't try then they won't know

I think before members have to much to say about discussions because members can relate to the topic and it is general to all and everybody can respond to it. And maybe there are more active members before that really devote their time to mylot. But now Discussions can't go up to 5 pages because the topics we create now are not really known to everybody and we are running out of topics here that is general to all because it has been posted before and if we post it again it might just be deleted. And also lots of members now here are not that active like before.

Lara... It is bound to happen.. With the growing popularity of myLot, the no of members will increase and we'll need to take all kinds of them... Not all of them are sensible, are they? And not all of them are responsible either, so they write anything; like they begin their discussions with a poll question... LOL... Or else, they simply write for the sake of it, to increase the no of posts... That's why so many meaningless comments coming up our way... :(... It is sad, but as I said, it is bound to happen.. Very soon, there will come a stage where the Admin will have to set some criteria for becoming a member here... hope, it comes sooner...

I think that in years or even months past people were not so much in the need of the money and thus were more interested in the discussions. Now though more people come here to try to make a little bit of money for whatever reason, and thus don't try. Of course this could be a phase as I've seen this before, I've been here for about four years now. I'm on here for the friendships and the advice, but also for a little extra spare change. I used to be on here for the money itself but also tried to bring a bit of flavor to the site. Now I don't try as hard as I don't have the time between work and trying to get things done at home.

I agree with you Lara there are very few long discussion which can be seen nowadays i guess that's because already many things have been discuss here and mylotter usually get bored reply to same topic again and again

Like the dolphin user said maybe morale is low and also maybe ideas are running short too! I seldom find a good idea I can talk about that hasn't already been posted or said, and I don't like to repeat discussions. Also, there's a bunch of users here who don't give quality responses anymore and the discussions starters are unable to continue to expand the discussion. I don't know the real reason to this loss in activity but I do hope it increase because myLot is an awesome opportunity!

yes, i guess. more mylotters are not active already, especially those that are vry good in making discussions. I really admired those mylotters i have encountered with before(years ago) as they always have great ideas and topics that would be interesting to alot of people here. :D

Hi! You are right upto an extent. There are less lengthy discussions now a days than it used to be in past. May be due to increase in number of members, quality of discussions has affected.

I always am able to find good quality discussions here and many from older members. I will agree that I have to sift through a lot of lame and junk discussions to find those. I don't think it is that people are not creating good discussions but rather that those good discussions get kind of buried in amidst the junk.It is impossible to run out of topics because the world is always changing and new things are always happening.

hi Laratecson I think its just that right now its close to thanksgivine and christmas and too here in the US we have not got as lot to be cheering about and writing perfect discussions when a lot of mylotters from the US are still jobless. being jobless does a number on your morale and now specially with Christmas on the horizon some are not happy mylotters . but hopefully a new year is coming and things will be better economically for us in the US I dont think for one moment we are running out of ideas for good sensible discussions or some more cheerful discussions either. this discussion happens about this time every year here.also a lot of you new comers come here with out of this world expectations of making your fortune on mylot.come down to earth, accept that you will not get super rich but will make a nice income to add to your basic income and also realize that making friends and sharing and caring are more important than just money.

I personly have not noticed this but it could be we do not have as many good things to bring up or maybe it is that since there are so many new people here people arent as close with as many people.

I also noticed that Lara. I think that's because there's so much members now unlike before. And since myLot has been here for a long time, the old members are not participating with the familiar discussions that has been discussed before. Sometimes it's really hard to come up with interesting and sensible discussions too. Some have made themselves focused only on replying on easy ones just for the sake of earning.

Hi Lara! I like the information that I gather through this discussion. I am just curious about some things though if I ask them, I might digress on the topic a little bit. But I really wanna ask, (hehe), how did you know about how discussions before were conducted. I see in your profile that you just started a month ago so I really wonder how/what you mean by "before" as before. I mean, I just wanna know how you were able to see the older discussions. Did you check the profile of the veteran members and see their posted discussions? I assume now (as I write this) that you had another account before? Anyway, it might not be relevant to the main point of your discussion but I really can't help asking things when I am curious about them. Just like what Aja replied, I am also new to this site so I cannot really tell the difference between old and new discussions. Good day to you mylotter friend! :)
