MyLot Versus "The Establishment"

Tweet

If you were a child of the 60s, then you're familiar with the term “anti-Establishment”. It's where “we” … the youth of the nation who were going to change the world because we were smart and knew how to “fix” it … "we" rebelled against “them”, i.e. “The Establishment”; the perceived, alleged or actual “Authority figures”, i.e. those “in charge” who established the rules, the morals, and the ethics of our world or society and said that everyone else must abide by the standards and not dare question them! Yep. That was my generation where we dared to ask questions and challenge, or go a step further and even fight “The Establishment”. (Huge sigh. … Yawn.) Those were the good old days. Huh? At any rate, the point of this discussion is to contrast myLot to “The Establishment”. Only “The Establishment” refers to the established social media giants - Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus … the weird yet popular social network, Tumblr, … the job hunting professionals network, LinkedIn, … and the late comer to the game who quickly managed to carve out its “share”, Pinterest. MyLot does what everybody says those social sites should do, but don't! MyLot pays you for your online social activity. But is myLot challenging or rebelling like we kids in the 60s? Not really. MyLot is peacefully co-existing, not competing. Frankly, I don't think site owners ever had any intentions of replacing the established social media sites. That's why many who are active “here” share our discussions “there”. Face facts. People who are active on these established social networks have no intentions of leaving or deleting their accounts. MyLot knows and understands that. That's why the site owners supplied the primary social media sharing buttons with each post. Question: Do you use the social media buttons to share your discussions? If not, why not? Are you aware of the “benefits”? You may not realize this, but social media sharing boosts this site's ranking in the search engines. The more popular the site or higher the ranking, the more potential for the site's income to increase. (Advertisers look for sites that show up in the search results.) The more income the site generates, the more likely members are to benefit by sharing in the revenues. Just thinking.
