Why myLot is like privatized health care

The title might sound a little odd, but hear me out. So how exactly is myLot like privatized health care? The business models for both are not conducive to a good product. In fact, at a first glance they are, more likely than not, conducive to a bad product. For instance, doesn't it seem odd that a hospital stands to make more money the longer their patients stay? Of course this is mitigated by the Hippocratic oath, but that applies only to doctors, not the corporations that run the health care industry. As for myLot, well the whole idea is to post as much as possible (both discussions and responses). A business proposition such as this encourages many things including: dishonesty, feigned interest and gratitude, and an overall lack in quality and intelligence of posts. It leads to responses such as: "thnk for u response at my discuson" and even as witnessed earlier today: "ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd". I know it might be a stretch to compare it to the ailing American health care industry, but there is a solution for both. The solution is pay for performance, which follows the old adage: "It's not the quantity, but the quality". While quantity is very useful to myLot as a business, quality might be even more useful as I plan to point out in another post on my theories about how myLot works. So how about you, would you rather read posts about how someone's cat ate their dinner (i.e. stay another night in a crappy hospital) or would you rather read something more intellectually stimulating? And remember to stay tuned for a post about my theories on how myLot works.
