I want myLot to change. I want to be rewarded for what I do here.

Depending on others for myLot to reward me does not quite go well with my thinking. How about a change where we get paid for what we do as it used to be in the old myLot? What are your thoughts on this - not that our thoughts have any weight really

First of all, if you post nothing here, you certainly won't earn anything but you certainly stand a chance of earning something if you do post, so you are paid for doing something, even though exactly what you are paid can be anything between nothing and a dollar or more. Second, I'm sure that you'd be one of the first to raise your voice if you saw that someone who posted worthless nonsense was being paid exactly the same as you were for posting your valuable contributions. The previous system was supposed to reward you according to a magical and esoteric element called "quality" but I never saw any evidence that it actiually did this successfully, if at all. The current system most certainly does encourage engagement and participation or, if you like, "interaction" (a term I, personally, rather dislike), so that 'good quality' discussion topics tend to attract more participation and therefore earn you more.

Someone had a cold and that discussion got 75 or more responses. Nothing to do with good quality. Whatever issues you have brought up here there will be rules in place I assume. You must have also seen this is not a serious topic.

Really? And you think myLot will change just because I asked?

You may recall that the old system did get abused at times. Some members began inserting large passages from external sources in order to boost the volume of their comments etcetera.

@allknowing I suspect that it may have been a contributory factor in the current system.

First and foremost this is not a serious post. Having said that , if at all myLot does considers this, surely they will have rules in place.

Yes, I agree with you that we should be rewarded for our efforts, as it used to be in the past.

My lazy nature tells me that it is better to not change something working for me : I like to wake up with 10 cents more in my balance than the day before, earned without an effort.

In my opinion, I also like the old version of mylot.

I like your idea. I think this is why I could earn more in the past. Now sometimes I will try to finish the offers here but its earning is pretty low and sometimes the offers are just a few for me only. And it is bad that you can't finish it at last due to its own errors.

I too thought in an odd way while explaining to new members, we get paid for other's work here. But be glad we are getting paid

i absolutely agree with you i think it takes a lot of effort coming up with a good and interesting discussion and even if only a few people respond ,the fact that we made the effort should be enough to at least earn a few cents more

Yes, we should get paid for posting a discussion as well as interacting with others, but of course we earn less in posting than interacting.

This is all to do with pandering to the lowest common denominator, like somuch in the modern world,it is all front and no substance.

I think its fine the way it is, just be glad this is still paying. There ain't much out there without getting scammed or wasting your time for so little pay.
