I have posted the same quality, effort, had a few questions with great responses...but I am barely getting paid! What is going on? Are you getting paid the same? Or has your payments per day dropped also? Trust me when I say, I post quality and not quantity. So what's up?

Come on... I have been following your posts, and I have to agree with myLot your work is starting to slip... If you could just try a little harder I am sure that your earning will go up. Just kidding tiger. I have no idea what is going on. I can say that it appears that my earnings have stayed the same, but I have only been here for two weeks.

I wish I could help on this. I'm still very new to Mylot and I haven't earned that much. I earned far more yesterday then I had but I posted more and started my first discussion. Your guess is as good as mine however if you think something is up perhaps you should write to support or the moderator (whatever you want to call them). It could be something got messed up in their system. I have seen that happen with sites.

They honestly haven't been much help lately. No disrespect intended...but I have send them a question as to why my best responses page is not updating with new best responses. Their response was, if you are awarded with a best response, it will show on your best response page. Well, duh...but the point is that it is not updating with new best responses. So it is not working and I know when I have gone back that I received a best response. So...they have not been very helpful.

I know what you mean. I sent them another message a week about about my best response and unresolved discussion pages and I have yet to hear back from them.

Same with me I was making like 2.00 a day now maybe 1.00 so I can relate to you. I think they are getting so many people that's why they had to decrease the earnings, they might even decrease it some more who knows.

I get the same Tia. But lately it seems I am spending more time commenting on the responses that people have left. If this is supposed to earn you points, it seems to me that from what I have earned it isn't much!

The problem might have with your uploaded pictures. Your uploded pictures have a bit of offensive content. So as per my view you should change your pictures.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Offensive content?

Good point imadriscoll, maybe he doesn't know what offensive content truly means. Because I have seen some pretty questionable photos on here but myLot still allows the avatars to be used. And I do not see my photos as anything slightly near what those pics are like! ie...a lady bending over showing off her big butt with less material than the size of one butt cheek. LOL

It has to be a gathered effort. I mean that you have to make good discussions, that attract people, post pictures, post responsible and quality discussions and never forget the ones that you have in your friends list. Dealing with the list of your interests can help you as well. Read the guidelines and you will get your answers.

I never forget my friends. I love answering their discussions. Thanks for your input!

You are very right mylot earning are decreasing, evreyone kept saying that I really believe it now. My earnings have dropped alot use tomake 2.oo a day now I am down to 1.00 or 1.20 another thing they want you to post to your friends instead of everyone else. when you post to your friends you don't get points.

Umm...I go get points for posting to my friends. There have been days where I have only posted to my friends. So I don't know who told you that, but I thought I would let you know that it is no true.

i cant understand the new pay system, i seem to get nothing for having people respond anymore. and it seems like i post and post and still dont get anything. it is so crazy just cant understand. but hey i like all my friends still lol.

Same here. It seems as if I get no credit at all for people responding to the discussions I have made. Bad thing is, if this keeps up, then people will be more concerned with answering instead of creating discussions. Then that will lessen what we are able to respond to. :(

I can't say I have not real difference lately because I haven't been around much lately myself. So therefore I haven't been getting paid much anyway. I know the day I was on here for quite while I ended up getting a good pay morning. I don't know though...if you are no longer getting paid well, something must be wrong cause yours are the best and your comments rock.

I wonder if they've adjusted the algorithm to pay less? I'm giving the same length/quality of answers as before, but earned the same amount yesterday for 111 answers as I did a week or so ago for 80 answers.

Thank you! That is exactly what I am seeing. But I fear if I ask myLot staff, I will not get a real answer. Again, no disrespect intended because I know they are busy.

Here's what it comes down to ... the MyLot Money fairies have recently been detained due to the Christmas season & they are busy spending your hard earned money on their Christmas lists. If you're not on the list then, sorry you'll have to stand in line until the end of the winter solice. Furthermore, I happen to have an "in" with the Head Money Fairy and for a small one time fee I will be happy to give you his contact information. Until then, keep posting because your "Would you rather fly/pee" question is my all time favorite MyLot post. I'll put in a good word with the MyLot fairies.

I think I joined myLot after the algorithm changed, so I guess I'm not really qualified to comment. :) Have you noticed any more changes? Have your earnings gone back up again, or leveled off at all? ~Wyrdsister

Nope...earnings are still low. And I don't seem to be getting paid for high response discussions I have created. Maybe by the end of the month when they do clean up we will see an increase of our earnings. :)

In relation to the new system I have also noticed the same thing. I guess they have a complicated algorithm in place to judge the payment system which is deciding how the payments should be affected.

it's about the same, sigh. but i'm shifting my gear to having some friends join, i guess that would make the difference in my next earnings :)

I know what you mean. I have not really started any discussion's because I am trying to post replies to my friend's discussion's. And I don't want to start a discussion, just to start it, I really want to come up with real good discussion's.

I've noticed it too. The less deep a post usually gets more posts. I've got a few like that myself. And then those people who respond with "13" to a discussion about being more energy efficient? Or talking about the bible in a discussion about a television show where God is not even mentioned. Drives me nuts.

I've only been here 3 days and I've made less in the past 2 days than the first, and I wan't some posting fiend that first day...so what gives? My responses have been more indebth in the last 2 days than the first day, should I not be so "deep"?

I do not know whether this late reply is of any relevance. But still what i observe is that the quality long replies earn more and + ratings received and ratings given counts for payment.The number does not count in the same percentage as quality but too many numbers can always tilt the balance. In my opinion the best way would be to have non member moderators for rating and marking best responses with due weightage given for the opinion of the respondent ant/poster.
