Yes, I am helping myself and as I do so I also help 2 others ..... well, here on mylot anyway.
It seems I have unintentionally made a few people feel bad but that was never my intent. It started because I wanted to help a friend. What I did was comment on all responses that had not received a reply over the years. It was fun just leaving a comment and as it turns out I too was earning a little along with the author of the discussion, it's a 3 way win.
Have you tried to do this?

Why on earth should they feel bad. I enjoyed the visit with you and the memory of Princess you brought up. Around here, if you are a giver, often you also become a receiver. Silly people should know that.

I'm so glad you view it that way. I'm having so much fun helping someone and also helping the author and myself.

That is an excellent idea and I think if I ever have a free moment I will do it.

No Judy, I went to my friends profile and scrolled through the responses they made until I found one that had not been answered. I like to go back as far as I can so I used the end tab on my keyboard and held it down until I got to a previous year.

@rebelann I am the same as you. I love to help people here. Though very time consuming, it's still rewarding for me and those I try to help.
I am so sorry that you doing something nice has caused some to feel bad. But I don't understand why people felt bad?
I have a weird system here which I believe I told you not too long ago. I like to answer people randomly here and there but the way I mainly use MyLot is to pick some people, answer all their discussions from literally the day they first started, then once I am caught up I will Follow them, and make sure I stay up to date with them. I also want to do this as OCD kinda makes me but it's also because some people really need money so by me doing this, though not that much, they still get their earnings to rise.
Then if I'm not feeling too overwhelmed I find more people who won't mind me answering all their posts and do the same process. If someone has a small amount of posts I answer them in one hit, but if someone has hundreds or thousands, I do a small handful at a time. Extremely time consuming but I love it.

I think people here often tend to forget that this is a place for discussion. You need to TALK with people which you can only do by interacting with whichever comment or reply YOU choose. It doesn't really matter whether it was an old post or whether you answered all the replies.
If you wish to answer someone, you just do it because that choice is yours. The other person has the option to ignore your answer. If anyone gets upset then please direct them to the guidelines or encourage them to talk with the admin to have a clear idea of what they are missing about myLot.
Don't let them make their own rules about myLot. We already have set guidelines. We don't need to follow rules dictated by other members.

I reply and comment to any post or topic that i can relate to. And to anything that interest me. I am enjoying my time here and not counting how much reply or post i have made but as long as i am enjoying answering and reading i will continue to do so. Not until i have some stuff to do then i log out.

I don't really know if you earn from the initial commenting but the interaction after yes? I am not sure, but it is still nice to see some older posts get revived and I'm sure it makes some people feel good to know that some things are getting noticed!

I actually earned a good deal on those days that I commented on a lot of those missed responses
