Do you think myLot is underestimating your posts?

That's about what you should be getting...what do you think they should pay per post?

Yes, I also feel it. You are not alone here.
I think, is still divided between paid money and reputation.
Perhaps, the money is still paid based on the quantity of discussion, not based on the quality.
You can also pay for referral and completion tasks. Two things about this, it seems the system is already clear.
Another thing is the influence of Blogs, Photos, and Tags.
Hopefully in the future we become more clear.
