Why is it that most of the MyLot task seem insulting?
Maybe it's just me and I bet a few others would agree with me. But there are people who actually do them.
I don't see the point in doing those task because every time you make a quality discussion or respond to a discussion, you'll get paid anyway. (I don't know how much MyLot pay per post because I can't seem to find it in the FAQ)

I never done any task but I think it is up to the user whether they want to use the task or not, this discussion made me checking on the task dashboard I think leaving a comment on a blog or retweeting is not a time consuming thing to do and the reward is just okay. Let us put our shoes as the task creator, would you pay $1 for people to drop a comment on your blog?
There is no fixed rate for the quality participation we made, I got my first payment $15,5 and now im half way to get my second payment. What I made is different than other people, it is all depend on our participation.

I appreciate your willing to pay higher reward if you create a task, but do you know that every task creator will be charged 20% of the amount of the reward? I think every task creator has their own calculation how much money they will spend to pay for the task. Some people needs blog comment because they are running in a blog competition and they need real comment from real users.
If im not mistaken about the $2 task, the $2 is not for the task creator she was informing about new site where the registration fee is $2. if you completed the task you will get rewards, no obligation to do the task if you are not willing to do it.

People there are offering 1 to 4 cents to drop a comment on blog.
I would at least offer 10 cents to do that. But somehow I don't need any comments on my blog though.
But it's even more ridiculous that you've to shell out $2 or $10 in order to complete the task for a few cents.

That's true but I seen absurd ones that require you to spend more money like $10 in order to get 4 cents back? What is this nonsense?
It's already hard to earn $10 here so what makes you think we would spend money on something we did not want just to get the meager 4 cents?

I do rarely a task here but it is difficult to feel insulted as nobody force us to do a task -- Stine already said it --. I also think that most of them are not worth the time needed, and I tend to not check the available tasks menu often, which is probably wrong as you can find some interesting ones times to times.

I tried the task only once. I completed some kind of survey for .04. After that, all i saw were task that required you to sign up for something. I wasnt into signing up for everything on the web because my email cant hold all that spam! So since then, i havent done any because i look at them as a waste of time, especially when i can actually make the same thing, just by conversating with you guys!

You can try using the fake name generator to sign up. It actually gives you a disposable email inbox for you to receive the verification.
And I actually use it because I don't want to spam up my inbox.

lol, i have only ever done one task here and i seemed to lose interest in it because it takes too long, and about the price they pay per post i get payed $0.01 per post, at least so far, i have only been here for about four days, but it seems that your earnings add up faster than on other sites..

Tasks right on this website have always been something that I wonder why many would even bother with. I'm sure there have been some decent tasks but it is really not worth your time. There are times where I do pop into the tasks but nothing is really interesting me. Therefore I just pop right back out and get right to posting on this website.
So yeah, tasks are just something that I'm sure has use for someone, so I cannot complain too much. But it is not a part of this website that I use all too often and thus I tend to step right away from it, and just try and focus right on the actual topics, whether I respond to them or make to them. They are the backbone of this website and what makes it work as it should anyway, and where you really will do well.
