Some days I feel bad that I write here

I suggest that you think of it this way. We aren't paid for posting here (I hope that's clear to everyone by now!), we are paid when someone interacts with what we post, so, effectively, what we are doing here when we respond to people's discussions and comment on people's responses is giving away money to other people (who may, indeed, need it more than we do). When you post a discussion here, you are also giving people the opportunity of responding and if you like and comment on their response, THEY are earning from what you do as well as you. So don't ever feel bad that you write here (or do all the other things that you do as an active, interactive member!) You are giving at least as much as you are getting - and it's all someone else's money, legitimately earned and legitimately calculated so that everyone gets a due share.

I don't understand you. Who'd benefit financially if you stopped writing here? Would myLot HQ send the money you might have earned if you had written so-and-so many posts to needy people?

I don't think that way. I use this earnings for donations. I try to pay for a kid's education and an elderly person's upkeep. I have been doing it for almost 11 years now. Last year I increased the payment, and this year I continued paying at a higher rate. Of course, taxes eat away some. So I accommodate taxes and donations. Agreed many are helpless. But do they have access to computer? Or can they write? Type? No. So why don't I donate my labor to them? That is my attitude.

If you were to go, others would earn less, not more. It's your interaction on their posts that help them increase their earnings.

And those you donate it too need it, sheesh we all do these days, don't feel guilty for what you worked for.

i admit to bein' a tad confused? without yer input, those folks'd not be earnin' 's much.

In reality, you're probably helping someone who needs the money because you provide posts and ideas that help them respond and create posts of their own. I don't need the money, either (if I did, I'd do something else), but it's fun and it's not hurting anyone.

I don't think you leaving would give anyone else that money anyway. And rescue groups would all welcome it!

I enjoy the interaction here which in turn earns for me. I too do not depend on these earnings for my survival. In fact I have a Trust where my money is for reaching out to the needy.

I think every people have goal that can different one with another. What they goal here is okay as long as it polite and make all member comfort, no matter they stay here for money, for fun or for getting friend.

People are here for many reasons. Personally, my money will drop straight into my travel fund.

Earning your money and donating it is wonderful. You are blessed if you're giving your money to a worthwhile cause

But then again they need you here for interaction. Your being around,commenting on their posts and responses helps them make the coins,don't you think?

I don't look at the money on the site as the sole reason I write here. I think the money is an added benefit and nice to have. I personally like to write and interact. The money is a nice added bonus for sharing your information. I am a believer that all information share - you should earn something from it. I write for people and they pay me to do this. I also help people in my line of work that are new to what I do and just learning. They pay me to help them too. Just look at it like this you'll have a few extra dollars to help a good cause - plus you'll have fun interacting with people here on the site.

sometimes donations really make a difference

Don't you dare leave. You're not taking money away from anyone. You interact and keep the ball rolling here. That helps everyone make money - and I personally find you very entertaining!
