We all work to earn our living.Wherever you work, whatever you do, you work hard and get paid for it.
On mylot,however,it is different.Here you may work hard for hours, visit as many posts as you can, respond to each of them, start as many discussions as possible.. spend hours here doing all this,but you can't earn a single penny unless and until someone responds to your posts or comments back on your responses.
Here each one of us is at the mercy of others,aren't they?LOL!!

@Bodyandbrain. LOL!! Would you please tell me what you think? All I have said here is that you can't earn anything here unless and until you receive a comment.Obviously we have to depend upon others for our earnings. However this ' helplessness' is so exciting, isn't it?

@else34 I said I think differently because you used the term mercy. I agree with you that we need others to respond on our posts and continue conversation for the sake of earning. it is not mercy of others we need, if our topic is interesting, easy to understand or even if we have numbers of followers we may get many responses on our posts. (it is what I think, I can be wrong)
