Likes for Likes, anyone?

Was it yesterday or a couple of days ago when my notification was filled with likes of my recent discussions, comments and responses by one user? I'm not saying I didn't appreciate it, but it reminded me of bubblews where likes were paid too. Has the rules on mylot changed that I wasn't aware of? Are the likes paid as well? I hope not! As far as I can remember likes aren't paid here or have i been wrong all along? I'm the kind of mylot user that appreciates responses and comments than likes. I am grateful for the likes as well, but I enjoy more when people respond to my discussions or make comments on my responses. I prefer being interactive. Thank you for the likes, but let's be friends and have fun by exchanging ideas through responses and comments. Kisses, Toni

i was tempted to press the "like" button but didn't because of what you wrote. I hope you appreciate the will power it took me to resist the urge. Now I will have to press the emoji several times to compensate

Hahaha didn't say you couldn't like it if you really do! You still could, but I'd appreciate your response more actually. What I am not really so happy about is when people just like everything of what i did but they don't respond at all.

@josie_ i wish, or they just thought they get paid for doing that. I'd appreciate if they were star struck by my gorgeous face and body.

@toniganzon _Perhaps they were awe-struck by what you wrote and were lost for words.

I had someone 'like' every response and comment on one of my posts the other day too. No comment of his own - as you say, I think he must have been under the misapprehension that it earned for him.

Yep that's what some thought that they could earn from that. I guess they should go back to reading the rules again.

I have custotmized my notification , in such a way that it doesn't show the likes anymore in my notification . At least i go directly to who commented and can easily wipe out my notifications one by one .

@toniganzon Yes, i don't like that too . I prefer that they like and also comment because i think when they like we earn for that also .

I think we do, just not as much as a response.

I don't think so. A response is more valuable than likes.

@just4him yes they do but the point of myLot is to have an engaging discussion. If we just like everybody's posts without saying anything where's the discussion there?

@toniganzon I know the response is more valuable, but I think the like counts as well.

It's not the notification that bothers me but the act itself of liking without actually responding or commenting.

Yes I thought we were only paid by commenting and not for likes. People must enjoy reading your posts so are liking them

@JolietJake Gee thanks. Then i think the rules really have changed. Because it wasn't so 6 years ago. I have read the FAQ when i came back but I guess i missed that part.

I guess we are wrong because @JolietJake said we are paid. However, we don't get paid like how bubblews does with the likes before.

@JolietJake Oh yeah i remember the + and -! But I enjoyed the interaction more back then.

Just likes alone won't make me happy. It defeats the purpose of this site. We should interact.

I'm not sure but it's also an activity so maybe if our discussion gets a lot of lokes then it's an earning for us. I disabled my likes notifications though. So sorting would be easy.

I'm not sure if you are paid for likes, only commenting I believe but could well be wrong. Yes Bubbles one cent for a like lol.

Yes I agree with you .. liking only is without substance .. it's better to spend quality time on here by reading and responding or commenting ..

They're not paid when you like somebody's post. You are paid when somebody interacts with you like when i responded to you right now.

It's just like facebook. we get notification of likes and responses or comments. The purpose is to let you know who gives you likes and who commented on your postings.

I know exactly what the purpose is. And I am not bothered by the notification at all. I am bothered by the likes with no comments at all. How else could we have a discussion if you will just like all my posts and say nothing about it? Isn't it defeating the purpose of this site?

Let them like your post at least you earn something from them. but make your choice if you want to like back on them. some people still just don't get how wea interact and earn in mylot.

Not saying they should stop liking my posts. Just saying that they should interact by saying something and not just liking as they won't earn anything from that. I already turned off my likes notification.

give and take? That isn't my thing. I love how it used to be on mylot where we just all chatted like friends and share our ideas. Liking my posts without saying anything, isn't a discussion.

We are being paid if someone likes our discussion. I read that in the FAQ. I never like a discussion without responding.

Yeah i learned that already, but my point is not just about money. My point is the essence of mylot. What's the point of liking someone's posts without saying anything? Where's the discussion from there. I don't care much if my posts don't get likes as long as I have someone to discuss with or talk to. I'm here on mylot because i want to talk to someone and not just get likes and silence.

I very rarely press 'like' without responding but occasionally there might be a post where I really have nothing to say about the topic.
