I Learned Something About myLot

I haven't noticed that per say, but the newest ones might have those people online, who then interact more, but I shall try this and see how things go up. I need some dollar days

I' ve given up trying to figure how the payment works, I just accept it gratefully. However, do you think the discrepancy you've noticed is because the people you respond to from a few days ago are not around, or have lost interest in that discussion, so they don't come back and comment again, or 'like'.

"I know we make most of our pennies through interaction on each other's posts." doesn't describe it quite accurately, it seems to me. We ourselves actually earn nothing from our own interaction. It is only when others interact with us that 'value' is added to our posts (whether it's a discussion, a response or a comment) and they therefore earn for us. In other words, every time we respond, comment on, read and like someone else's post we are telling the MyLot algorithm that that post is worth something and that that person should be paid a fraction of a cent more. Every time someone interacts with one of our posts, they are doing the same for us. Of course, if we didn't post anything, there would be nothing for anyone to give us 'value' for. It's a two-way thing which makes the giving more important than the receiving, in a way. I have found that posting a discussion which gets a reasonable amount of responses (which one can comment on and therefore continue the discussion) seems to be more profitable in terms of earning than posting responses and comments which then generate further comments BUT it is also vital to respond and comment on other people's discussions because they, in turn, are more likely to respond to ours.

Your earnings might have been down at that particular time, because nobody was around to interact with those comments/responses. I have noticed that there will be days when I am not on myLot and yet I will earn several cents ... not just a fraction of a cent but actual pennies. That is from people interacting with things that I had already posted days before.

I have never really noticed but there was a day when I went back/forth with the same discussion, did a lot less of effort (since I was busy for the day) and received more $ than ever!

I noticed that my earnings for the past two days increased fast .

I had not noticed this but it makes sense. I do a lot of commenting and responding in the most recent discussions.

I actually didn't realize that. Does that mean the quicker you are to answer a comment on your post, the bigger the pay and the faster you can reach the payment threshold?

Yesterday (26th) my money was down, way down compared to the two preceding days. But there was also one curious event that happened - several interactions were lost during the course of the day. I don't know how that happened. I prefer to manage my notifications from the bottom as well, but old ones kept reappearing while I was working through the list. I wonder if MyLot met the Twilight zone yesterday.

I know the more interaction with one another, the faster both members earn. This is why when I come across someone who doesn't interact with me, I tend to stay away from, because I find it a waste of my time to comment only for that comment to die out, especially when I leave the comment open for a reply.

I never noticed that. Thanks for sharing.

I had not noticed what you are saying.

I find it all very random.

I haven't noticed different amounts for different types of interaction. I try to get on here every morning, except Sundays. I do my best to read and like and or comment. I'll have to try and be more watchful to my earnings to see the differences. Have a blessed day.

I thought it would be by the post and depending on how good is the comment will determine how much we get for the post, until I realized that it was from someone or the post started to reply the the comment. I started a discussion about something and I got response and I got something out of it but I didn't know it was from people replying back lol

Good morning to you and good evening from me - its not very often I am on line - LIVE to respond to anyone

I never really paid attention. I just get around to everyone as I can.

i think whether a discussion is recent, remote, or new, it still gives us the same amount of earnings.

I haven't noticed that. I am still figuring out how much I earn for every action I make but I am enjoying interacting that I always lose track of how much I earned.

I always find I do better financially if I get back to people asap. That encourages those like me who want the instant back and forth. That's why when I do occasionally post my own discussion I do it when I've the time to get back to responders almost instantly.
