Post, or post links?

I see a new "fashion" here in Mylot. People still want to earn so they publish their post on another platform (a paying platform) and in Mylot they only post the title and a link to the post on the other platform. I find it a bit annoying, and I was wondering if it isn't against TOS. After all, their post in nothing but a link!
If they want more views on their other platform they can write a full post here that is relevant to their post there and then link them. This way they'll have a full post here as well, not just a link.
It is just like when we link our posts on social media - if you want it to be a good link - put some content in it.
Right now you are only turning Mylot into a link farm which will devastating for it in Google eyes, and will turn your links worthless.
Those are my 2 cents on the subject.

myLot encouraged us to post links in this "improved" version, and I believe that they are aware of the possibly devastating consequences, as myLot is already a link farm. I followed the new rules and tried 2 ways, but the return from myLot actually is really poor : a long post and a referral link to a GPT, and I got no referral at all, but 3 or 4 responses from friends, and it has been my only satisfaction : I am always pleased to chat with my friends here, and it is because some of them are still here times to times that I stay. Yesterday, I posted a catch phrase, a very short text and a link to Bubblews. I got 2 responses from friends who commented also at Bubblews, and I am not sure that I had 5 other visitors from myLot
. A month ago, I posted another catch phrase on a fake FB account with 300 "friends" to another Bubblews article, and I got 20 visits in two hours. My conclusions are that there are not enough people actually on myLot to make it useful as a link farm. If the old version was still here, I think that it would be different, but the posts have a very low visibility with this new interface...

That's because everyone else is trying to promote their own Bubblews article.
But you have a point about myLot vs. Facebook. Which is the most popular?

Oh yeah, I find it annoying, too. 
In all fairness, some posts include legitimate content and use a link to an article as a reference or a guide. That's fine. I have no problem with that. I get it.
BUT too many just say "Read my article". Huh? What?! Why?! 
And if I see one more referral link (just referral, no article) for Bubblews, I think I will gag. C'mon guys, at least make it interesting.
