Why do most mylotters show great interest in open quesions and little interest i

My theory is that those that do that do it because they are only here to earn money and they dont want to actually get involved in discussions but rather just run through and post as much as they can as fast as they can trying to get the earnings.....and though that seems like the majority of people here there are a LOT that really do enjoy the thoughtful discussions...I am one of those myself....I dont even bother with the what color socks are you wearing ones at all....
Of course I probably dont earn as much as those people either but thats ok!

I like discussions that make me think before I respond, and so do most of the members here. The problem is that those who want to know what you had for breakfast or what is your favourite colour don't have to put any thought into the topic, so it seems as if the boards are overrun with inane discussions, as they can post 10 discussions to the 'thinking member's' one. Go to the 2nd or even 3rd pages of the discussions under each category and you should get something worth responding to. It works most of the time for me.

Hello, regarding the idea you have put forward
this is my opinion. It may be wrong also.
People may not be taking part in discussions involving
serious writing or some news item or current affairs,
because I feel they may be feeling that if their writing is
not liked by the person who started may give negative rating
which will reduce their star.
It is only my guess
have a nice day

Hello Personally, it doesn't matter to me whether they are open questions or essays, if I am interested in it then I will respond. I like responding to both as sometimes it it nice to have a light-hearted discussion as well as more in depth ones. myLot is the place for all discussions and if some appear to be 'stupid and ignorant' then you always have the option to close the discussion and not respond at all. We are all different and enjoy different things as the variety of myLot shows.

Hey Adarcy, I like some in depth discussions, but find some I think are intelligent, and interesting, don't get any reaction with other myLotters, whereas a simple question gets several responses, and can also be fun, so I like to do a mixture of both. That's a happy medium for me.
