Easy topic, more replies?? Whats with that!!??#@$#

Hi there Raphael Volts!

I think it's because people tend to respond to discussions wherein they can give their input, share their related experience and add more information to them. Maybe there are just some "deep" discussions wherein they don't have much to share and I guess it would be better not to respond if you don't have anything of substance to share about the discussion, right?

If they are about controversial issues, maybe it's also because some mylotters try to avoid getting into arguments as much as possible. I remember when I responded to such a controversial discussion about abortion wherein I shared my opinion and lots of comments were posted against mine. After that, I avoided similar discussions.

Hi raphael, those topics tend to be put up by those who've spotted how popular they always are, without realising they are a daily event which will be deleted the next day. They are here for the cash, haven't read the guidelines and don't realise that many responses does not equate to cash, but that interactive discussions do. Don't bother your head by the number of responses they draw, the posters don't comment back anyway because lets face it how can you respond with orginality to the reponse 'my favourite colour is red.'. Why do people respond? Because it's easy, they don't realise it will be delted in a day or two, they just look at the rather meaningless post count.

To be honest, 90% of the reason why I'm here is to earn extra monies. But, at the same time, I would prefer actual intelligent conversations. If I were answering questions like, "What's your favourite colour?" all day, I might loose my mind.

well thats bad but i tell you everyone's here just to earn money and nothing else so they just trying to cash in by making a little easy topic or comments that wont take much time to type or to think...
and ur right we can see in many topics we dont get a actual meaning that makes sense....
they just write whatever comes into their mind.. rofl!

I come to myLot for fun with my friends.

My idea of fun is not answering poll type questions which will be deleted once admin is aware of them but neither to I enjoy debates on very heated dicussions which occur in certain interests.

Having ruled out those two categories I still find many, many discussion every day which interet me and I never have enough time to leave my mark on as many as I would like to.

If I spot a user who is continually posting those poll type so-called discussions then sooner or later I stop off and advice them that they will not get as many benefits from myLot as they could if they did something with more substance. If they take heed fine and if not tha's fine just the same, sad but fine by me as at least I advised them. If those users are here just to make payout it will take them ages doing it their own way.

If your discussions are receiving less responses don't give up because at least they are not getting deleted like those others that you mention and over time you will receive more responses I'm sure if you stick it out.

Something to bear in mind is that a discussion that draws 50 responses will not earn you any more than a discussion which draws no responses. We earn by our own work, not by the work of others in the thread. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

It is since long. I guess more users answer to those, where they can relate easily and easy to answer. They generally avoid very serious one. It is also my take,. I have faced the similar thing.

Yes you are right my friend, answering to such discussion is very easy does not require much effort either, so people like them, but there are tons of nice discussions, where we can respond and earn.
Thank you so much for this nice discussion. keep sharing, happy posting, have a great day, cheers

Hi raphael_volts,

I rarely started a new discussions and since last month I didn't even started one. I only started a discussion when I need help or something about football (soccer). I usually prey that no one response again to my discussion (need help) once I found the answer (and I already give best response). And I never expected to see many responses for my football discussions because most of my friends doesn't like football.

I think I never response to the discussion about the color. There is no point for me to response to it because I can't see how I can earn from there even if the discussion doesn't deleted.

I also doesn't response to a hatred discussions because I don't like to argue with someone that I didn't know. Some of the members here can't accept other people view on some topics and tent to give a - rate. I face too in my football discussions. But since I love that sport, I don't mind.

I love to answer to a discussions that I can contribute something to it. Some light argument and no one feel bad about it would be accepted because I do it sometimes with my friends here.

I didn't response to someone problem because I don't have anything to say. Even more if that required a technical knowledge or experiences. I don't like to pretend I know something that I didn't.

As a new user, I must admit that the initial draw to this site was the potential to earn. I do see your point about the split between those here for the serious interaction and those simply here to make some extra money. In my opinion, it this range of individual choice and expression that makes this venue inviting to all. Now that I have experienced a bit more of the discussion aspect of this forum, I will definitely take more time to evaluate all aspects of MyLot in an effort to improve my experience and enhance the experience of others.
