How many of you are really interested in the answers to your posts, do any of you start just any discussion just to get more money? If I've put a question out there it's because I'm really interested in the general trends or peoples opinions....but how many do it for the money and never look at the responses?

I think there are a great many people that just throw meaningless discussions up there in the hopes of earning a few more pennies. People like that probably wouldn't answer a question like this.
If I am not discussing something of genuine interest to me, I find there is no satisfaction in it. I try to make everything in my life meaningful, even if I'm only posting one sentence.

i agree with both of you...i try not to put really stupid questions up, but sometimes i just want to take a general poll of things...and for you, auburn, i too don't even answer discussions that i don't care about...i have too much to do on this site as it is, and don't need to waste my time or others....thanks ...kisses to logan, M.

Yes...All my discussions regard things I am interested in, and i only respond to ones i am either interested in, in return, or feel i have something to say that would matter~

~Even though my 'points' are low, i have been a member on here for 2 months, and have watched Mylot evolve due in big part to those who were abusing the system for earnings alone...Mylot has come a long way, i look forword to their future 'alterations'~

I try to post things of interest when I start discussions. Yes I also check back to see if there are any answers to discussions I have started. It is interesting to see what other people's opinions/comments are. It is a bit of an art to try and do it in such a way that you don't just get yes or no comments.
I try to do it as a topic rather than a question that only gets a yes or no. That way you get peoples opinions in depth. I would rather have a few descriptive comments than hundreds of just yes or no comments.

actually, i do care about the discussions i post here. i want to know what everybody else thinks, so i'm not doing this just for the money at all. come to think of it, i have posts here that don't have responses yet, and this fact makes me sad because i'd really like to generate some intelligent discussions here.

I actually won't post a question or discussion unless it's something I really am interested in..but I have been known from time to time to post the odd dumb topic, but since Mylot changed the earnings lgorithm, I've found that the dumb topics actually make me lose money...

My intention is to gain knowledge through discussion and not earning money. I am interested to know the public opinion on the discussions.

I always go in and read what others think about my Discussions I have started, and find it an interesting way to get to know others on here. I know I respond to a lot of Posts sometimes that have no replies back and wonder the same thing there, and Yes, I do put feeling and thought in all of my Discussions and posts, and do care about others and what their Views on it might be.

I have to admit at the start i didn't really care about the questions i posted, i was all about the money. After reading the rules of mylot and seeing some of the responses (copy & paste, one word answers etc.) i thought that this was very ignorant of some people. Now i only post discussions that i am interested in, and i do check on any replies that i get.
After all this is the way the site is meant to be running.

The discussions I have started have all been things I am interestd in in some way - usually I am interested in learning more about it or in hearing people's opinions. I don't really start many discussion though.

I always look at the responses and try to respond back, and yes, I post things that interest me. I haven't posted many discussions though and haven't gotten many responses so I may be the only one that is interested in my topics, lol

what matters is not if we care but the more important question is can we make a difference??

but how can you make a difference and answer a question that you don't care about? why would you want to start a discussion about something if you just dont care? anyway, thanks for responding

It seems to me like a lot of topics go by that people are just putting up there without caring about it. I put my topics up because I really want to know what people have to think, and I'm constantly checking back to see if there are any new responses on my topics.
I wish there was a way to regulate some of the more 'spam like' posts, but I think it's okay, because I can weed through them and find a good one, and when I reply to it, I can keep checking how it's going in the discussions I've responded in menu, so that's nice too.
