why we cannot see others earning? why should we (not) able to see it?

In 'real life' we rarely know what others earn and, often, it is thought impolite to ask. Very often, it is just not relevant information, especially on a site like MyLot, where earnings depend very much on how much time an individual can spend, how he/she uses that time and whether or not they use the site wisely and well in the way that the site is intended to be used. It would be of absolutely no relevance at all to you to say that I earned $1 a day from MyLot (or any other site) - I don't, by the way - because your situation and outlook is, very likely, entirely different from mine. If you want a useful yardstick to measure yourself by, look at the profiles of several long-standing members. Look at what they write and how they write it. Look at how often they comment back in their own discussions (making them into true discussions). Judge for yourself whether or not their participation is 'good quality' and try to emulate the best that you find.

I think it is good that one cannot see how much one has earned.However,there are some sites where you get to see everybody's earning and I would much prefer not to.I guess we need to have the freedom of keeping it to ourselves...all the best and happy mylotting

i think this is because earnings are private to the person or to the user. we do not go about in our employment for everyone to see how much we are getting as compensation right? i think it is best that we only know of other member's participation and not down to their earnings. i would not want that to be broad casted along side my name in the site if you ask me.. he he

On Mylot they do afford us privacy. Why would I want that to change? Respecting people's privacy is a law. I would say I am curious about others earning but I wouldn't want everyone else to know mine so that is fine. I think people should have their privacy and I respect that.

Revealing the amount earned by others can motivate people to participate more and thus to earn more.But here on mylot,it prefers users privacy and if they want,they would reveal their exactly earned money.On the other hand,to see other people's progress and to be motivated,mylot has given us the rating system in the stars and the number of responses made.So larger the number of responses and more the star ratings,then that user is a good earner here.Seeing them will keep me motivated.Happy mylotting.

No legit site would violate your privacy.Mylot is a legit site and as such it does not disclose how much a particular member earns here.You don't and can't know how much I have earned here till now nor can I know your earnings.Our earnings are our private matters and they should not be divulged to others.Even in offline business,it is difficult to know how much a particular businessman earns.

Why should online be any different from offline? When you work offline the amount of your wage packet is not shown on a notice board so that your colleagues can see it, is it? So why should your earnings online be available to others? Earnings are private, between you, the person paying you and, if necessary, the taxman too. If you wish to share your earnings with others, which many of us choose to do, then that is fine but it should not be made compulsory. Knowing what others earn could lead to many negative sentiments such as jealousy and greed too Many don't stop and think that maybe that person has more experience, more time available and even a faster connection than they have and is therefore able to earn more.

hi GajaGamini y es there is a good r eason as those who make less would a lo t of them be all over us who earn more. it wou ld cause wide spread envy and irritation , and even anger.People are human beings and humans are not perfect and they can envy others, and be jealous and what for, just because someone had more time and thus just earned more. so no its kept a secret and if you want to know how much I made and I want to tell you find and good, otherwise its our secrets.

Mylot may consider the earning of each member in here is strictly personal matter, no one is allowed to see except the account holder. If we can't get to see others earning, we can still guess the balance others have, it makes Mylotting a lot more fun.

I think because every member's earning is confidential. :) It is like we are working in one company and we are not allowed to know others' earning. The company will keep it as confidential data. However, it depends on the person. If he wants to tell other his earning, then he is the one to tell, not the company. I think Mylot applies the same idea.

I have no idea to the others' earning, for what? I join mylot time, have fun, read and post my discussion...money goes behind it.

Why would you want to know anyway? How does it benefit you in any way? I don't see the point of knowing what someone else is earning, I could care less. Other then my wife, I do not care who is earning what, only myself.

That information is personal for a lot of people. I don't care sharing how much I've made in a week if someone asks but others would rather not tell you how much they are making. It's their decision whether or not to share and I think it's good that MyLot don't just give away this sort of info.
