I was wondering if a myLotter would get points if she simply click like to a comment instead of replying.

when you like a discussion, response or comment, your activity points will increase (the number in parenthesis next to your user name). that's all. the owner of the discussion, response or comment you liked, responded to, or comment on is the one who earns. while the more people you like, respond to or comment on does increase the possibility of them doing the same to you, for me it's better not to expect the exact same amount will return for your "efforts" because it depends on many things .

I guess you're right in some way, that is something that Mylot is not revealing how exactly they are computing the earnings for each user post.

@myklj999 oh, that's right. activity is the total of discussions, responses and comments you posted, while the likes you give out to others have their own heading/category in your profile page.

@rsa101 even in the old mylot the earnings algorithm was confidential.

liking a certain discussion does not benefit you but of the user who posted the discussion my friend.

A 'like' is an "interaction" so, as it says in the Earnings Program FAQs, "How much can I earn with each discussion, response or comment? - This all depends on how interesting and valuable the myLot community considers it. The more that other myLot users interact with what you post, the more money it will make. If no one reads what you wrote, interacts with it, or otherwise considers it interesting, then you likely won't earn anything. YOU don't earn anything when you 'like' someone's post - THEY do. You will earn something every time someone else interacts in some way with what you post.

@myklj999 Very true. @yoalldudes If you mean the number in brackets by your name, that is your "Activity Index" and is simply the total of all posts you have made - discussions, responses and comments. It doesn't include 'likes' that you make.

I guess this would be the best answer since this came from MYLOT FAQ already. I really am confused right now but nevertheless I will both like and comment to be sure.

No you don't earn anything. You don't actually earn anything directly for what you do. You earn from received interaction from other members.

@yoalldudes you earn when someone likes/comments/responds to you. You'll earn for this comment as I earned for the comment you made to me.

The algorithm of earning here is not clear to me and do not want to get into it as it is too complicated. We are here to interact and we earn through interaction. Likes, comments and responses are all ways to interact. I like to like the discussion or comment if I like irrespective of the fact whether I earn or not.

Liking will not earn you but I think it raises your post to be seen and be included in the categories they have. Commenting is the one that earns you. I comment most of the time than liking.

In that case, I guess it's better if we comment instead of liking to boost our fellow myLotter's earnings.

As far as what I remember, I've asked this question before and they told me that if someone liked your comment or discussion you'll earn something, but if you're the one who pressed the like then you'll not get something, that is why there are mylotters who can't engage in the conversation or discussion they rather leave like to express their feelings that they're there. I'm still not quite sure if this is true or not but the answers that I got before came from old mylotters who know myLot more than me.

@yoalldudes Same here! Since they're more knowledgeable to answer our inquiry especially admins aren't always here to answer our inquiries

I think it is someone else liking your discussion or response.

@yoalldudes I'm sure you have a better understanding of it all now. But yeah getting a "Like" will help you earn some money too. Me liking this post has earned you something.
