As we know or should know, the way to make money is to get people to respond back to you. We don't get paid for posting, only responses.
When I respond to discussions, I try to write something to encourage the writer to give an answer. Then I reply back and try to keep it going as long as there is something of value to say.
Some writers actively discourage responses. One time, I was not familiar with what someone wrote about so I asked what it was. He told me to Google it. I did not answer with my opinion of that!
Some writers never answer the people who respond to them. Others get mad if you go slightly off-subject. These are ways that some sabotage themselves and don't realize it. Then they lose the pay that they would have gotten.

Some people get upset if the comments start to move away from the original discussion subject.
To me that's just the same as a good conversation organically developing and changing and in the myLot context that can only lead to more earnings.

I hope people read it and keep in mind. When I started in MyLot, I also did not understand what the way is to earn here.

Yes I see responses like that that discourage interaction which is of course counter productive on this site.

@Shivram59 I was doing it wrong too. It took a while to learn how to write here. I was doing serious articles and this is not the place for that. I had to learn what people want to hear.

Sometimes if i dont know what to write back for my response i just give it a like.i think posting is very easy but it's difficult to respond back to one's own discussion because of lack of understanding and lack of english. Some people dont do it purposely i hope.If someone go off subject it may be they dont have any comments most of the discussions in the day. And yes this site is not best for this kind of people.sometimes i wanted to leave this site but i can't.
