Websites that pay you to use them

Tweet

I kind of wonder why websites that pay their users to socialize don't really ever kick off. Not just Mylot, but I know there's a bunch of social networking sites. One I can remember that I used for like an hour and lost interest in was Yuwie. I think it's actually out of business now. They do almost everything sites like Facebook do, of course, not as well. You really won't be able to tag your pictures or do nearly as much. Since they're not really popular at all, nobody is going to be able to find their friends on them, you have to refer them. Many people have trouble adjusting to sites that everyone uses, like Facebook, so when it comes to these new sites, with all of their defects and bugs, it's too much of a hassle. I mean, they're usually really buggy and unorganized, it's almost saying "this website is so bad, they're paying YOU to use it." So Facebook is making millions of dollars. It'd be nice to get a share of that, but maybe it takes the fun out of it. Maybe it's kind of like socialism or communism. It sounds nice, to be able to share all of the profits, but it just can't happen.
