How do you think our earnings get generated?

I don't think Mylot review our posts manually. I'd rather believe this is automatic.

I highly doubt that myLot manually reviews the things we write--there are simply too many posts to process in a twenty-four hour period. Also, I must agree with you that computers are unable to judge whether or not what we write is nonsense. However, computers can use other human beings to be the judge. myLot, for one, uses the + and - buttons to allow fellow humans to rate your posts, so in a sense, your posts are judged by humans. At the same time, I believe that such a rating system often generates mob mentality. Popular opinions will be given high ratings regardless of the quality of the post whereas unpopular opinions will be voted down to the ground. It's quite unfair in that sense.

I don't know exactly what algoritm myLot uses for generating the earnings, but it seems to me that users from the US receive more money than the others... Do you think this could be true?

As far as I understand it (and of course I am totally guessing here!), measurable factors such as the number of words, spelling, grammar and the number of responses are probably monitored by a computer programme, while the qualitative, subjective factors, (like how useful the answer is, how relevant it is to the question and whether it actually makes any sense!) are probably based on the ratings that we myLotters give oneanother. I guess if we report abuse then myLot will (perhaps?) get involved, and at that stage will get a human to look at the post. All these factors (or some of them, or totally different ones - who knows! )must get entered into the secret myLot algorithm (or formula), which churns out what each of us has earned! Like others have said, there's no way that they have enough employees to read every single post. I can't see how it would be worth it to employ all those people, lol!

I think this is a very interesting topic. I have a point there. How can the computer know what we are writing? What if we write non-sense, everything is garbage? I guess there will be someone to give us a clarification here.

Mylot will be calculating our earnings automatically using some computer programs. but as long as we are human, we don't like rubbish or not related contents to our discussions. so if we see those we will report it to mylot and if the person gets a lot of - ratings may be mylot will check it manually. Everything here in mylot is secret. They have developed an algorithm to determine how good is our responses.

Only mylot knows the real answer, but it makes sense for it to be computer generated. If you write in a word document, you can set it up to tell you all kinds of things about what you wrote. The one I have tells you the count on words, characters, paragraphs and sentences. It also tells you the averages of sentences per paragraph, words per sentence, and characters per word. Finally it tells you readability; passive sentences, reading ease and grade level. If it is computer generated they probably have a program like that set up to determine the rates. It is just a guess for noone really knows. I am sure they have to have a way to tell the complete non-sense from the post that makes sense.
