I'll be honest and say yes. I joined mylot coz i heard it actually does pay. But now I'd still be here even if it doesn't coz I like what i'm doing. I like discussing things, i like getting to know other people's opinions...i've seen many people responding for the sake of responding and earning money and whenever i such deplorable people i always make sure i give them a negative rating. I'm here coz I like doing this; what about you?

The idea of getting paid for something I do online for free anyway is definitely what drew me here, but now I find that I'm spending much more time just reading discussions that I find interesting (and at times not responding) because each day I seem to be learning something new :-)
Oh and if you find someone deliberately breaking the rules (copy/pasting answers, spamming with one word replies etc - hit the ! button as well as giving them a negative rating, hopefully by reporting them we can all enjoy our time here a lot more)

hi there... i think the purpose of getting something from this site like money is given.. who would waste much of their time and earn nothing... but as you go own and share your interest all at the same time, the focus of getting money just becomes secondary.. what you enjoyed the most is the connections that you have with these people regardless of their race...
thanks a bunch^_^

I will be honest too. It would be a downright lie to say that we first came into mylot because we just wanted to be part of a discussion group. Yes, I join mylot initially because there is money to be earned. Along the way, I realised that other more important things about this site. I learned many new knowledge from different quality postings. I have made many global friends. I can express my opinions, feelings and views freely. Isn't this great about mylot?

Honestly, I joined for the money initially. Though I had no idea how much I'll get paid I somehow liked the look of myLot and jumped in:) Since then it's been great, I enjoy reading and writing and learning stuff here, it keeps me coming back everyday. I spend a good deal of time on myLot. Money is a motivating factor but not the only one!

i joined here which was couple of hours ago! yes for the same reason that i want to earn online! i heard someone from my country who got an ipod on his first payout at myLot! i think it is not a big deal for you guys! but for someone coming from a 3rd world country, it means a lot! earning as much as $300 a month can raise a family well here!
i have come across a couple of really good articles and will surely spend more time reading them as well.

hi! i'm new here, but what really drove me in joining this site is the fact that we can simply exchange opinion about things and with that, we get to grow as a person by knowing and exploring other people's opinions and fascinations as well as other people's point of view and interest. i love pondering on new things and exchanging thoughts with everyone else that is why i think that mylot is more than just a money making site. it's a site where people like me can get a chance to interact and express myself and feel good about it or if not simply learn with it.

Well, to be honest I came on here because I am a broke student and desperately need extra income. However, I do enjoy discussions and it is a pleasant surprise that this site has so many discussions. Sometimes I'm just bored and want to get into some kind of discussion but no one is around. I have this site now. The fact that i can come on at 2 am and find things to talk about and people to talk to makes it worth it even if i don't get paid. All I need to do now is find the philosophy discussions and I'm set.

Well if you want an honest opinion i would say yes i joined Mylot for money,but yes i do like some of the discussions here and whenever i like to get some opinion i put some discussions but i would still say that the main motive is to earn money.
Hope you don't give me a negative rating.

I would be a hypocrite if I'd say I didn't join mylot for money. I learned about mylot because I was looking for ways to earn at home. I used to blog for free but when I learned about mylot I sticked to it now. Why would I blog for free if mylot can pay me? in fairness, mylot is helping me improve my language skill in writing. thanks mylot!

I too have to be honest. Hearing about the fact of being paid for something as simple as posting replies was appealing to me. But same as you I have learned to pass the whole payment issue. It truly is nice to hear others opinions and stories. Replying to their discussions really makes me feel like i am helping them in a way, and I wouldnt change that for all the money in the world. Best of luck to you.
